What are the current approval times for completing a DTV in Hanoi or Penang, and what are the bank statement requirements?

Malaysia requires 6 months of 500k banked plus several months accommodation booked and paid for in Thailand .

I was approved this week in Hanoi as a remote worker. Submitted my pre-prepared application on Monday evening 5.45pm local time from the arrival hall at Hanoi Airport after I got the immigration stamp. My application status chanted from ‘pending document check’ to ‘pending approval’ on Thursday around 10am and I received the approved visa on Saturday at 6pm, so 4 working days without the need to submit any additional documents. Thanks to this group I had everything well prepared.

Only thing I am wondering out of curiosity: How do they approve the visas on non-working days? Is the step of ‘pending approval’ done centrally in Bangkok where a department works 7 days a week? Or is it actually partially automated/AI-driven?

7-14 days
