DTV approved in Hanoi 🇻🇳

Workcation (Korean)

July 1 Applied

July 2 Add Doc

July 7 Approved

Many people get approved in Hanoi, usually within 7-10 days or even faster. 🎉

FYI, for Koreans, DTV application fee is free. Please do it yourself and do not use an agency.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the successful approval of a DTV visa application in Hanoi, Vietnam, specifically for Korean nationals. The applicant applied on July 1, added documents on July 2, and received approval by July 7, highlighting that many applicants often get approved within a week or two. Additionally, the application fee is waived for Koreans, and applicants are advised to submit their applications independently without using an agency. The comments highlight various queries regarding the necessity of a Thai bank account balance, requirements for USA applicants, the need for a residence permit in Vietnam, and the timeline for preparing for the application in Hanoi.

You must enter the country first where you apply becuz you have to provide Documents indicating location. I planned to stay 2weeks but approved in a week.
