My friend has applied in Ho Chi Minh for a workcation DTV visa and it has been a nightmare. He has provided a full set of documents, then was requested many additional documents which he also provided and now they ask for a lot more additional documents which will take a long time to organise. How long does the additional documents request stay active before being automatically rejected?

He is also running out of time in Vietnam on his visa so is it possible to cancel his current application (can he somehow request to cancel it) and go to another country and apply there?
Answer summary
The user inquires about the time frame for submitting additional documents for a DTV visa application in Vietnam and whether it's possible to cancel the application if needed. It's noted that typically, applicants have 14 days to submit requested documents, with the potential for extensions in certain circumstances.

In HCM VN My application was pending for 20 days because I was asked for additional information which I provided right away but stupidly by replying email ( yeah after days waiting I read again and realised that I had to upload on website ) so when I did my application was approved the next day

For your visa issue. My solution : you do visa run to Cambodia border ( 2,5 h from HCM) it depends on your nationality you can do Cambodia visa on arrival at border. Once u exit vn you can apply new evisa to get back to Vietnam. Normally it takes 5-7 days to proceed visa then technically u have to stay in Cambodia the time being but I can provide Vietnam evisa the same day so u just have to wait some hours in Cambodia side then you can come back to Vietnam and back to Hcm the same day. IB me if u need support

You have 14 days to submit the requested documents. I have heard it's possible to have an even longer time by request with viable reasons, but that was just one case at one embassy.
