Anonymous participant 646 haven’t flown back yet. I’ll be flying back in on Sunday. I’ll definitely make sure to update my experience. For now I’m jus enjoying Hanoi, great city 👍
You’re welcome. I’m more than happy to share my experience and answer any questions. These posts genuinely help guide others toward a successful application, just as earlier ones did for me.
All I’m saying is that on my British passport, the ‘Authority’ field states HMPO, and that’s exactly what the embassy staff instructed me to enter. I followed their guidance, and my visa was approved without any issues.
Before that, I had asked several people and received conflicting advice—some said to enter United Kingdom, while others said HMPO. That uncertainty is why I decided to go directly to the embassy to confirm the correct answer. I didn’t want to take any chances.
I recommend doing the same—visit the embassy and speak directly with one of the staff members at the booth. Show them your passport and confirm the correct information with them
I entered the information exactly as it appeared under ‘Authority’.
To ensure accuracy, I even visited the embassy in person to clarify this point before submitting my application. The staff confirmed that I should use the wording listed under ‘Authority’
Thank you so much! One important tip: make sure to enter all the details accurately on the online application, and triple-check everything before submitting. Best of luck to you as well!
