ORIGINAL POSTER

I have been approved for my DTV visa today! I’m 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 everyone’s 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.
