TLDR : Answer Summary
The time taken to find out if a DTV application has been approved or rejected varies significantly. Responses indicate that approval can occur as quickly as a few days, with most cases taking a maximum of two weeks. Specific experiences shared include approvals in as little as 6 days in Jakarta, while one individual mentioned a 10-day wait at the HCMC embassy.
