Hanoi DTV updates

Hello dear friends, just share my experience with the DTV application. Almost wanted to give up but eventually got it today. Total from 13th to 25th May.

Applied with daughter together DTV based on Daddy’s DTV visa on 13th May. Got cancelled application on 14th early afternoon. Reason is using my marriage name which is on the remarks page(uploaded for application) as the applicant.

After cancellation we called the embassy try to save it but they say they only see the bio page. On 14th late afternoon we submitted new application without using marriage name.

On 15th May it switched to processing approval until 25th May. During the days, no needed documents needed. My situation is I have 15 days visa in Vietnam. And it’s already 14 days without updates, so today noon I emailed embassy explaining the situation. After 1 hour, my daughter’s visa got approval but mine still nothing. After another hour, my husband tried to call the embassy and kindly requesting to get some updates and explained the visa issue, they say I’d better prolong the visa stay because they can’t guarantee anything. They asked to send my visa valid documents here in Vietnam to their email.

After another hour, I got visa approval. Here is our visa application process. Initially, many people said that applying for a DTV dependent visa would be faster, taking two to three days. However, this isn't actually the case; everyone's situation is different. I'm just sharing my experience for reference. Thank you to everyone who helped me and replied to my post during this time.

Good luck everyone 🍀🍀🍀
Answer summary
A user shared their experience applying for a DTV dependent visa in Thailand, detailing the challenges faced during the application process. The individual initially applied with their daughter, but the application was canceled due to a naming issue. After resubmitting the application, it switched to approval processing over several days. Despite having limited days on a Vietnam visa, continuous communication with the embassy led to the eventual approval of both their visas. They noted that while many believe DTV dependent visas are processed quickly, experiences can vary significantly.
