Hello everyone.

Has anyone applied for residency in Ho Chi Minh City since Sunday, December 28th? My son's application as a dependent (I've had my DTV since early October) is still pending "Document Check" today.

Thank you in advance for your replies, and best wishes for the new year to all.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the status of their son's residency application as a dependent in Ho Chi Minh City, which has been pending since December 28th. A respondent clarified the processing timeline, noting that the application could take approximately five working days, suggesting that the visa may be issued by January 7th, taking into account the holidays and weekends.

The processing time of the visa application will be 5 working days.

Submitted Sunday 28.

Monday 29 is working day 1

Tuesday 30 is working day 2

Wednesday 31 is working day 3

Thursday 1 is holiday

Friday 2 is holiday

Saturday 3 is weekend

Sunday 4 is weekend

Monday 5 is working day 4

If all is correct you might get the visa issued on Wednesday 7.
