Does anyone know difference between cancellation and rejection of DTV?

Because I got cancelled by Hanoi Embassy and they didn’t give me any explanation.

I don’t know what else to know.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the differences between the cancellation and rejection of a DTV visa application at the Hanoi Embassy. Comments suggest that cancellation typically occurs due to ineligibility or incomplete information on the application, while rejection happens when provided information fails to meet the necessary requirements. The conversation also indicates that experiences can vary significantly between different embassies, with some users recommending contacting the embassy directly for clarification.

You haven't supplied any information regarding your application so how would anyone here know why you were cancelled they are all just guessing. I suggest you contact the embassy they would be the only ones who would know. Maybe you don't qualify for DTV. But try again if you want it's your money

Cancelled would indicate an ineligible application, whereas rejected would mean incomplete requirements.

So, Cannot try again?

Anonymous participant absolutely can try again, but you better try to understand what was the problem. Did you screenshot your application pages as you filled them to find a mistake? Did the passport data page upload machine read your data correctly, did you check it? There is a warning when you upload it about OCR mistakes. I'd be a bit nervous applying at the same consulate without knowing my error.

Cancelation is usually do to an issue with the application. Where are you located when you applied via the Hanoi embassy? Any possibility that you entered your name or datapoints incorrectly? Another one that seems to trip applicants is if they renewed their passport while overseas, listing the country where it was renewed as the country where the passport was issued, when the e-visa wants you to list the country of the passport.

Anonymous participant - Ok, because if you were in the southern half of the country, you would have had to go through the consulate in HCMC. It most likely was canceled because something that was entered into the online application was entered incorrectly. The platform is notorious for making mistakes inputting your details, after it pulls the data from your bio page pdf. Name misspelled, middle initial versus full middle name, etc. often something very little, can can a cancellation.

Hanoi from my experience is a difficult place. I've been rejected in Hanoi and accepted in Saigon for ed visa a few years back. Hope that helps

Cancelled when all information asked for is not supplied. Rejected when all information supplied did not meet the requirements. This is my assumption anyway so could well be wrong. .

Anonymous participant Terrible customer service. They have to justify what they do. Have you tried contacting them to ask the reason why they ‘cancelled’ your application?

I see. I recommend calling them ASAP. I wish you the best of luck.
