How long does the visa processing take at the Thai embassy in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam?
Quick update: as I heard , the embassy in hcmc vietnam takes quite long. Since everyone is now rushing to this embassy because they think it's faster. So now It's been 6 or 7 days now and some people still haven't got their dtv. Just to let you guys know. Maybe Taiwan or Jakarta will be quicker now.
