Hi everyone, can anyone share their timeline with Hanoi Embassy?

Applied on 4th of June, status changed to pending approval quickly after.

Soft Power category 

My flight is for tomorrow, 17th of June. 

I’m wondering if I should change my flight or not. And if yes, how long more should I stay in Hanoi? 

Thanks for your help!

I just got my visa few days ago from Hanoi and it took 18 days. I applied May 27th. Since the first day it was pending approval. I recommend you to change your flight. Patience is key.

Maybe you could email them and politely explain your situation.

They are very nice and helpful people if you are genuine and polite.

Good luck

Change your flight or leave without a visa.

Alternative is to stay until the visa is denied or issued.
