Hi everyone, I am planning to apply for my DTV dependent visa in Da Nang via HCMC in September. My husband already has his DTV (workation) since a year. I have the 500.000 THB in my account since more than three months, and we have our marriage apostille. I can read in here that applying through HCMC has been a slow process throughout May/June.. Is that still the case? I am particularly interested to know about the timeline from anyone who applied for the dependent DTV within the last month or two.. I have something important to be back for, so trying to sense if this is even realistically possible for me at the moment with the current average wait time.. Thank you!

We just did ours exactly the same in HCM City, the agent said 2 weeks, we were asked to send extra documents twice and it was approved in 2 weeks and 3 days. I think it all depends on if you supply the right documents, having the agent helped to check before they submitted. Hope this helps … DM me if you want more info for our experience

Plan on 2 weeks to be safe. But never a guarantee. Can be a few days shorter or longer. I would not put a timeframe on it. What if it take 3 weeks

Anonymous participant - most embassies it is the same timeframe for dependent as it is for the soft power or remote worker. It spends most of the time in the queue
