Just wanted to say thank you.

I just got my DTV today via HCMC (Vietnam)

I have applied Sunday near 6 pm

Tuesday got a document request for a translation of some document (had my original work contract in Romanian).

Went into pending approval 30min after sending the translation. 

Friday at 6pm got a document request of all page of my passport.

And that morning I got the approved visa.

Took 6 business days, pretty fast.

And when they at the end ask for all pages of the passport it really is better you are still in the country where you apply.

in the contract, have you mentioned, that you are director of the company? I have the same situation, but I don’t have any contract, since the company is mine, i don’t really need one
