Hi Eva! I applied in Hanoi last week and wrote down what I submitted as a response in this post in case that’s helpful :)

I submitted my application in Hanoi last Thursday (it hasn’t been approved yet, but I got past the submission and payment stage and haven’t been asked for additional documents so feeling fairly optimistic). They wanted the following:

- passport with entry stamp to Vietnam to prove current location (I also printed my hotel booking in Hanoi as proof of location and she kept that as well, but not sure it’s necessary)

- visa application form with a photo (you can print it on their website or fill it in there)

- 6 months of bank statements proving the 500,000 thb over the entire period of time (important to note: these have to be in English or an official translation - I initially tried submitting my German bank statements since the numbers and dates are perfectly understandable and the only text in German was the word ‚bank statement‘, my address and the footer - she wouldn’t take them)

- employment contract (since my contracts are always six months I submitted my two previous ones in addition to the current one to show I’ve been doing remote work for a while - not sure this was necessary but she seemed to appreciate it and kept those papers as well). She checked the contract specified my salary and also that it mentioned remote work is allowed.

-340$ (they are able to provide change)

Overall it was really easy if you’ve got everything prepared! They were friendly and I was in and out of there in about 15min 🙂

@Eva ********

I’ll be in Hanoi first week of August and will go to the embassy to ask in person if I don’t hear back from them before that - will let you know what they say!
