Hi everyone. I'm sharing my husband's DTV experience to help those who might or are going to be in the same boat.

Nationality: Singaporean

Embassy of application: Hanoi

Method: soft power (medical)

As you can see from the calendar how long it took from start to finish.

For those applying under medical, do note that they will ask for your doctor's medical license number and ID and a history of your medical appointments. I thought I'd mention this so you can submit with your application and don't waste precious time to get it and resubmit.

Best of luck to everyone. 🍀

Anonymous participant 914 he and I haven't found on any website that states the requirement but he did have his doctor write something to the effect that his condition requires ongoing care and his next appointment date. I also have read that it'd be prudent for your doctor to say that you'll need treatment for at least the next 6 months or else you might end up with an METV or flat out rejected. My husband's doctor did NOT write this portion but if you want to be extra sure, I'd try to get your doctor to write this.

Was he required to go to the embassy in person to submit the documents or was the entire process done online?

In that case, can you please help me understand what is the need to even go to Vietnam in person?

I figured it's easier to see the dates laid out instead of having to do mental math. 😅
