UPDATE: Today, 18 Feb 5.12PM My visa got approved!! Goodluck everyone! As promised I’ll make a detailed video on all the docs I submitted which would help self employed freelancers like me!

Abit worried about my DTV status for softpower, muay thai, applied in HCMC.

Feb 10 5.30pm - submitted

Feb 13 12pm - additional documents requested ( 6 months statement and proof of income) I’m a freelance graphics designer and am worried they think im sus for applying via softpower, but i did provide proof of income with invoices attached and my portfolio, indicating i want to learn muay thai during my free time whilst working my job.

Feb 13 11pm - submitted additional documents requested

Feb 18 today - still pending document check…

Is this normal for it to take so long? Losing hope… been seeing people get moved to pending approval within like 3 working days…

The user celebrated the approval of their DTV visa after a detailed application process while expressing concerns about the time it took, especially considering their freelance status as a graphics designer.
