Is it possible to receive an embassy approval on a weekend in Hanoi?
Has anyone been approved over the weekends in Hanoi?
I’m sure I read someone had but I thought they’re only open on week days.
Am I likely to hear back on a Friday afternoon?

Answer summary
The consensus among commenters is that embassies typically do not operate on weekends, but automated approval notifications may be sent after hours on weekdays. Some individuals shared experiences of being approved outside normal hours, indicating the system may still generate updates during weekends. However, specific weekends or holidays (like the upcoming Monday) might mean additional delays.

We both got approved on weekdays like a week ago, mine took 3 working days and my partner 9 working days.

I'm eagerly waiting as well. And I think Monday may be a Thai holiday, so embassy maybe closed?

Please let me know if you hear back tomorrow, fingers crossed for you. When did you put your application in?
I submitted mine Sunday 20th, request for extra documents Wednesday 23rd then haven’t heard anything since then.

Are Embassy/Consulate staff precluded from hybrid working arrangements?

Embassy is closed over the weekends, but it seems that some embassy has it set that notices/updates go out after working hours. It isn’t like someone sits at the computer, hits approve and it automatically gets sent to you. They can approve on Friday afternoon and the notice gets auto generated and sent on a Saturday.

how do you know that is the way it works? Makes no senseJohn *******
Anonymous participant 200 because there are countless people who receive their notices after hours and on the weekends when the embassy is closed. Also people tend to receive approvals at the same time.
