Sharing my DTV visa timeline.

January 29th landed in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City, and submitted my visa request in the middle of TET.

Feb 3 - first business day, no updates from the embassy.

Feb 4 - second business day, still no updates. Emailed the embassy with “asking for update”.

Feb 5 - third business day. Received a request for additional documents. Submitted the docs, emailed the embassy (replied to their email) and received my e-Visa in an email 40 mins after the email.

Document list:

- Passport.

- Proof of stay: picture from passport with Vietnam’s stamp on it.

- Bank statement (deposit, debit card). Just out of curiosity I added an investment account statement.

- CV + work sample + employment contract.
