What is the current visa approval status from Ho Chi Minh City for workcation applications?

Visa approval Ho Chi Minh City Workcation visa Visa processing times Document requests

Dec 12, 2025

a day ago

Has anyone recently had their visa approved from Ho Chi Minh City? I know there has been national holidays and so things have been a lot slower, but I’ve seen a lot of approvals from Hanoi in the group and none from Ho Chi Minh lately. 

I submitted my application for workcation￼ on the 8th December, was asked for more documents yesterday on 10th, and now on “Pending document check (1)”. Anyone else in waiting to hear from HCM?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the current status of visa approvals for workcation applications in Ho Chi Minh City. Users note delays due to recent national holidays and share their own timelines for document requests and pending approvals. Several comments confirm that many applicants are still waiting for their approvals, and the processing speed in HCMC seems slower compared to Hanoi.

Anonymous participant Yes, so the countdown starts from the 10th not the 8th. 10th was a Thai national holiday, so process began Dec 11th.
