Got approved yesterday (Friday,11.10) evening π
Here is my journey for the workation Dtv - I hope for someone else this post might be helpful or encouraging.
22.09 Applied from Da Nang for HCM.
Documents all as per the requirements + cover letter
23.09 Received a cancellation email which eventually was revoked just a few minutes after.
24.09 Status switched to Pending Approval
29.09 Email received that the Visa was cancelled (I assume something went wrong on my part)
29.09 Reapplied (triple checking everything)
30.09 Request for more information (Tax information, recent projects, motivation letter, and two other documents) - submitted everything the same day.
07.09 Request for even more information (how I negotiated my current salary, case study + photos of a recent project, passport photos of all pages + proof of the date.
10.09 - 18.00 Approval email (it seems the closing times of the embassies are irrelevant / not limiting)
10.09 - 18.05 Plenty of beer
Outtake:
1. Be prepared to wait
2. Be prepared for multiple rounds of requests
3. Donβt give up
4. Da Nang is a beautiful (and very affordable place) to spend a couple of weeks if necessary.
May the visa gods be with you!
