Hello, I’ve applied for the workation DTV at Hanoi on the 6 April. 8 April, it went from pending documents check to pending approval. Since then, nothing. Is this normal ? Should i contact them or still wait ? I’m asking because I’ve sent other getting the approval at Hanoi in 4,5 days. Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is inquiring about the typical waiting period for the approval of a workation DTV visa application submitted in Hanoi, mentioning that their application has been pending approval since April 8. Community responses highlight that due to the Songkran holiday and a backlog in processing, it is common to expect delays, potentially until the 17th or 18th. Others share similar experiences of long wait times, indicating that patience is advised.

I applied on soft power on 2 April at Hanoi, and I still haven't received a decision. My application has been saying "processing, pending approval" for two weeks now. I'm also wondering if I should contact them.

Pending approval is good 👍🏼 Stay patient wait for Thai public holidays to be over

5 working days is what they say. 5th and 6th were Saturday and Sunday. The 7th was a holiday. 8th was 1st working day. Now it's the long Songkran holiday plus the inevitable backlog that will build up. Don't expect to hear until the 17th or the 18th at the earliest
