ORIGINAL POSTERHi I am in Hanoi for applying DTV yesterday. The website says "Status -Processing Pending Document Check" but I did NOY pay yet. Should I apply new form and pay? Just ignore not paying one? Or wait until the immigration to respond me?
Here is what happened. All my documents were ready so I was going to put my credit card in but but it says "0" and was waiting about 10 minutes. Then I saw credit card button on the right was active so I clicked. That was working! I got "$ 0" receipt via my email. Now my status is pending.
Do you think that apply the form? Or wait until they say something to me?
Has anyone heard of something like this?

I just figured it out I dont need to pay for applying DTV because I am Korean. ðŸ¤

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about their DTV application status which shows as 'Processing Pending Document Check' without payment having been made. They received a '$0' receipt and are considering whether to wait for a response or to reapply. Comments from others highlight that for certain nationalities, like Koreans, the application may be free due to bilateral agreements within ASEAN, suggesting that payment isn't obligatory for them. One user advised checking credit card accounts for charges and to contact the consulate if issues persist.

If you are a citizen of an ASEAN country applying in another ASEAN country there is a bilateral agreement in effect which may nullify the need for payment.

Look in your credit card account and see if you have been charged. If not it sounds like a glitch so I'd contact the consulate
