ORIGINAL POSTER

We've been hearing a lot of rejected attempts in Hanoi over the past few weeks, both from soft power and workcation. But are there lucky people out there who got it successfully in the past month or so and how long did it take? Share with the rest of us your experience and give us some hope. haha.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Recent feedback indicates a number of rejected visa applications for soft power and workcation in Hanoi, prompting concerns among applicants. There is hope, however, as some users are urged to share their successful application stories from the past month, as well as the timeframes for these approvals.

You are hearing the rejections as they are news. The posts are asking for advice on next steps. They are also outliers and the vast majority of applications will have been approved. They do not need to ask for next step advice. Do not worry about it.
