What are the recent updates on the DTV visa application for freelancers?

I applied for the DTV as a freelancer on July 1. Today they responded requesting one thing: Document indicating current location. I submitted my stay permit. Hoping there are no further issues and it’s approved swiftly! Jakarta.

Update: status changed to pending approval today, July 9

Update 2: received approval today, a few hours later!
