Anonymous participant sure. Thank you for your reply.

If you could please give updates how your situation goes, would really appreciate it.

We will apply also in Hanoi in late September

Their website said 1-3 working days. Most people said their experiences were 2 days.

If it’s already on your 3rd day and you haven’t heard anything. Maybe go to them directly with the slip. Maybe they can give you an answer

When we got our past visas from HC, their slip appointment were very clear to come back in 2 days at a time slot

Hi, thank you for your review! If you don't mind, did your employment contract/ proof of work/ invoices/ company's registration needed to be notarized by your home country's embassy or some kind of authority?

I am self-employed so I don't have work contract from employer's company / their registration. I only have invoices and my past work as portfolio. Not sure is this will be enough.

If anyone knows anything, would be really helpful. Thank you

Hi Ryan, with Thai embassy in Hanoi, were they strict with documents regarding your work contract/portfolio?

Was any of those papers needed to be notarized by notary or your home country's embassy?

I am self-employed without conpamy's/ clients's contract.

Thank you, that helps a lot. I am planning to show Revolut as the bank with 500K and a Thai bank as the one with daily transactions movements history. Hopefully this will help.

I wasn't sure if using Thai bank is ok. But they will see on the passport stamps that we have been living in Thailand over a year with ED visa anyways 😅

thank you so much for your respond!

This is helpful. We hope to use a Thai bank and Revolut combine the sum for 500K TBH. Hopefully leaving the money there for about a week would be ok for Ho Chi Minh 😅

@Blue ***

that’s good to hear 😂 many thanks

thank you so much for your respond. This is very helpful.

Some people who got their visa in Hanoi also mentioned that their 500k THB was in the bank for about a week or so.

Do you mind if I ask if you use a legit bank or if you know if online bank like Revolut Wise will be ok?

thank you for your reply

thank you so much for your reply. Really helps.

Do they charge $350 for visa fee when you apply?

Would they give you refund if they rejected your visa?
