ORIGINAL POSTERHi everyone,
I completed my DTV application on March 20 in Hanoi, Vietnam.
On March 24, I received a request for additional documents (they asked me to highlight the salary transactions in my bank statement), and I submitted it the same day.
Today, my application status has changed to this β does this mean it has been approved?
I havenβt received any email yet.
Does it usually take some time for the approval email to arrive after the status changes?
Thanks in advance!

Congrats! Curious - what nationality and what DTV route did you take (Workcation or Soft Power)? I also put mine in on the 20th in Hanoi and provided additional documents on the 21st, but mine is still pending...

Thank You for your helpful report π

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.
That's what you should do... print it out.
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight βοΈ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.
Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
