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.
