Hanoi Approval! USA Remote Worker

I found these posts so helpful so wanted to add my own experience.

- 2/19: application submitted in the afternoon

- 2/20: status changed from document check to pending approval

- 2/27: approval email sent at nearly 10pm!

I was not asked for anything extra, and here is what I submitted:

Proof of finances: 6 months of bank statements meeting requirements. I used the first page as well as any pages with payroll deposits and highlighted those

Proof of job: very brief cover letter explaining what I do (regular employee of a company), how long I’ve worked there, and why I want to apply. Then a letter from my manager (again super super simple. Just confirmed start date, remote status, and direct deposit payroll), and the company’s business registration from the state SOS where they are headquartered. Our internal HR system also has some pages showing management hierarchies so I screenshotted the part showing my name and my managers, and my employee overview page which shows start date and confirms remote status.

Proof of location: entry stamp and hotel booking.

In my very limited and anecdotal experience, include as much as you can! I am now applying for my spouse so will update when that one is complet. Thank you and viva Thailand 🇹🇭
