Success! Hanoi 6.5 Working days. Workation. Freelancer.

Dec 1 - Applied late afternoon

Dec 2 - Changed Pending Documents Check to Pending Approval

Dec 9 - Approved

I did a thorough search in the group to see what "additional documents" Hanoi has requested in the past, and made sure to include them all. That's why I think I got no "additional documents request".

Pretty straightforward process! If you're in Hanoi highly recommend Egg Coffee at Cafe Giang and Bun Cha at Bun Cha Ta Hanoi.

Good luck!
