i had a hotel booking for vietnam and a residential contract on a house in thailand. But pretty sure you can also just show a hotel booking in Thailand too

the bank notes thing was because I heard some places were very strict about the conditions of the notes. only accepting perfect condition. But now it seems vietnam will be switching to an evisa system. So you can just pay online without notes

I showed two UK bank accounts. Because I had transferred some money into a different account a few months ago before I knew about this visa. So I just highlighted the transfers that showed the money going out/in etc and that was fine

Also worth mentioning that if any of your documents are not in either english or thai you will need to get them translated and notorised, I believe

@B**

I can't say for sure, because it's not what I did. But I have read other people saying they got the visa with an appointment booked at a dentist

@Sakura ****

yes, i booked an appointment through their website. but I think they are changing to evisa system now. So will have to do the application online

@Kaia *****

ahh... yes, i did book through this website. But it seems maybe they are now transitioning to the evisa system. So maybe you will have to apply online instead of in person like I did

@Klaus **********

yes, i believe so. If you can prove that you have appointments booked somewhere you should be fine

I only showed evidence of two appointments during the month before I applied, and an appointment booked for when I returned

@Ash *******

ok, good to know

@Ash *******

Hey, how did you chase up your visa application with the consulate in hanoi?

they're a few days past the 2-3 day processing period and I haven't heard anything from them. Tried sending an email to the address at the bottom of the receipt, but no reply on that either. Did you have to go down there in person or something?

@David ***************

that's good to know. fingers crossed it was just the Vietnamese lady at the desk and not the person who makes the final decisions

@Paul ******

ok, cool. i can do a similar thing with my other bank accounts if necessary. I'll keep you updated with what happens. in case it's helpful to you

@Jane **********

okay, this is good to know. Hopefully I'll be able to work something out without having to wait a few extra months. Was this in Hanoi, too?
