I got my DTV (soft power: Thai cooking) approved today from Hanoi. I applied last Friday, January 10. They asked for a recent bank statement on Monday, January 13 (since my UK bank updates only on the 10th of each month), and it was in Pending Approval status for two days. I received approval around 1:30 PM today. Iโ€™ve booked my return flight to Bangkok for this evening. Thanks for all the helpful back-and-forth information in this group. See you, Kingdom!

great convenient location. If I donโ€™t get my DTV for digital nomad, I will go this route. And congratulations on it being an extremely fast! Iโ€™m going on two weeks for Washington DC. After one week, they reached out for my tax returns and a self-employment letter. Beforehand they stated 2 to 4 weeks processing so theyโ€™re on schedule.
