Has anyone applied to the Ho Chi Minh Embassy on Monday, September 29th, and received approval?
My status changed to Pending Approval on Tuesday (September 30th) without any request, but it has remained that way until today.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around individuals who applied for a visa at the Ho Chi Minh Embassy on September 29th, 2025, and are experiencing delays in their application status, which has not progressed beyond 'Pending Approval.' Several commenters share their similar experiences and inquire about the implications of this status. One individual reported a rejection after applying on the same date.

is pending approval a good sign? i submited all documents on the 8th, yesterday they requested additional documents which i uploaded then this morning they asked for unmarked bank statements. i responded with the letter saying it was done in the bank with the statement and i did not mark anything. now the status shows pending approval

think takes 3-5 days to find out anything and up two a few weeks to get your paperwork. I only asked a couple people who I met traveling before . But now Iโm about to do mine with a company. What country are you applying through ? Iโm thinking about Indonesia or VietnamReply to

์ ์ฐธ๊ฐ์ 550 Big congrats to you. May I ask how many months of the bank statement did you submitted? I'm trying to figure out what the reason now? I just did it 3 months only.

Anonymous participant I did 6, but they requested me on the 8th to submit proof of the source of the fund as well to ensure I got them legitamately.

Anonymous participant 550 hey there about to submit my form tomorrow through Issa compass . With your bank statements did you not have any deposits from any business job or companyโs ? I have couple accounts and worried if I send to much info they will ask the same . So you think submitting6 months is ok with a 40-50k usd balance ? Or will that raise red flags ? Most other accounts are crypto . Thanks and did you use a company or just online by yourself ? I hear Vietnam and Indonesia are two of the easiest without showing up to the embassy . And you can get it online .
