ORIGINAL POSTERI have been approved for my DTV visa today! Iโm so shocked as I was asked to send further documents today (11:20) and have received approval the same day (16:10)!!
Thankyou so much for everyoneโs help, this group is honestly invaluable!
If anyone has any questions let me know, I applied at HCMC consulate under soft power with a less reputable gym in Ao Nang Krabi.
