ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi,

I applied for DTV visa on April 28th in Hanoi. On April 29th I got asked to provide additional documents twice, after that status change to Pending Approval. Then, there were 3-day holidays in Vietnam. Today is 7th of May. I am flying to Thailand on 9th of May. Do I have a hope that my visa will be accepted and delivered before that? 

Thank you🙏🏼🥹🤞🏼

They applied on April 28th and were asked for additional documents shortly after. Comments indicate the processing may be affected by recent public holidays in both Vietnam and Thailand, and suggest considering options to extend their stay if the visa is delayed.

If you can try to extend your stay then I would do this. That's what I did when my visa took longer than expected

There have been both Vietnamese and Thai public holidays since you applied. The Embassy would take both. The 5th was a Thai Holiday as is the 9th for public servants and the 12th for all.
