Anyone had approval outside of business hours? Specifically Hanoi? Wishful thinking over here...

Answer summary

Many users share that visa approvals can occur outside of regular business hours in Vietnam, with some stating they received their approvals on weekends, late evenings, or even during national holidays. This suggests that while it might be less common, it is possible to get approvals outside of typical office hours.
