Depending on what document it is they might need more formalities. I sent my marriage certificate and Thailand does not participate in the Apostille accord. They told me it was fine to just translate it myself and sent it to them. This was Saigon that i asked about this and they told me it did not need to be notarized / formally translated either. By the tone of the agent i dont think they care much if you of course send them something reasonable. I sent the document with the apostille certification and it was approved no documents asked. Thought eventhough the translation was not there it would be more formal to have the seal/certification and they did not care at hanoi. Hope this helps 🙏

@Paulie *******

good to know they took those from you saw reports of other people having issues. All the best my friend 🙏

Its the fraud/abuse that is making it difficult for the rest of the new applicants. I would be careful with the soft options and will always seek the staycation business owner route etc. You have alot more scrutiny when you apply for the visa in the financials aspects of it but than you dont have to worry about being registered in school class payments etc. There are no checks for these people that have gotten this visa so you can easily come up with the idea that this is not sustainable at least not with the current rules etc. Expect changes in the future is only a matter of time until they figure this out 🙏

There is an specific “LOCATION FILE” in which the embassy you are applying MUST HAVE JURISDITICTION ON YOUR APPLICATION. If you applied in Saigon at some of the application they asked you this info i think at the last page before you submit .They want to see where you stay ENTRY STAMP AND EVEN BOARDING PASS TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE THERE. You are free to travel but NEED TO BE OUTSIDE OF THAILAND AT THE ADJUDICATION PHASE. If they later find out you were there they can have your visa revoked. Assuming you decide to travel saigon is particular requiring interview for some applicants. They can always call you for an interview and than this can complicate everything .I would not risk it until the visa is approved 🙏

@Davion *****

ok brother we all got the point of why your are doing this. God luck to you and your “lucky friends” 🙏

@Davion *****

maybe at least im honest with my intentions in helping others and not someone that is pretending to help. Everyone here can read 🙏

@Davion *****

exactly if they are not in this group why bring them to the conversation . Every person that has applied under the digital nomad workation etc in JUNE AT HANOI HAS PROVIDED FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS THAT SUPPORT AS OF WHY THEY HAVE 500k in their account. I follow the posts regularly and what you are claiming maybe it was true before June but not anymore. You keep saying YOUR FRIENDS BLA BLA BLA with no timeline nothing just because the website only asked a couple of question does not mean they cannot ask for me. Why send a “just fine” application when others have been succesful showing more documents just why? there are no second shots is either approval or rejection. You suggest people to apply with the bare minimum for what? So someone can come later and offer their “ paid help” ANOTHER PERSON MAYBE A FRIEND OF YOURS? Tell us the true story why are you spreading this info WHAT IS THE REAL PURPOSE?

@Davion *****

maybe you are blind or cannot read your own picture. but the person added (4 RECENT PAYSLIPS) and even invoices. Stop the missinformation that “others have applied and have gotten this visa AS DIGITAL NOMADS WORKCATION BUSINESS OWNER AT HANOI IN JUNE without attaching paystubs is simply not true. Others come here for help and really cant find why someone would spread false information so they get rejected 🙏

@Davion *****

attaching a third person with similar background that was approved in the same timeframe as of me and my wife in June. THERE IS AN ABSOLUTE NEED AT HANOI FOR THE LAST 6 PAYSTUBS WHEN TAKING THE BUSINESS OWNER/STAYCATION/DIGITAL NOMAD ROUTES. This you wont find in the formal requirements list at the website when you submit the application but it will be required at some point. When you apply as a business owner they are looking for STRUCTURE NOT JUST HAVING 500k in a savings account. They want to see how the money flows from your SO CALL BUSINESS INTO YOUR PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT. The only way to this again is with the paystubs. The info of requirements at the site is pretty limited/lenient and maybe this was the intent when they first thought of this visa, but this is not current as of June in Hanoi due to fraud/abuse. 1st you have a company-the company pays you in a formal way( paystubs) IF YOU JUST PROVIDE WHAT THEY ASK AT THE EMBASSY WEBSITE 100 % they will require more documents again if you apply at Hanoi. You mentioned LA for that i only know it will take longer time at those outstations outside of asia have far less manpower than Hanoi/ Jakarta have to process applications. You should tell your friends to upload their timelines of their applications WITH WHAT WAS PROVIDED…..JUST THE SAME WAY I DID MINE AND OTHERS DO HERE TO JUSTIFY YOUR CLAIMS WHERE PEOPLE APPLY WITH LIMITED PAPERWORK BUT THEY GET THEIR VISAS. Recent rejections at Hanoi suggest more documents are indeed required to satisfy the financial requirement . As a matter of fact i have not seen a single recent approval that just provided what they asked at the site lately. Hope this helps 🙏

Anonymous participant ok so you have ABC right. I think they want to see how you have the 500k . Did hou have any recent deposits to make the 500k requirement. Was the money there for at least 3 months. When you get paid do they send the money to that account so they can match each deposit each month ? What embassy are you currently applying at?
