DTV Visa Visa Application Passport Requirements CV Submission Expats in Vietnam Visa Process Issues Document Preparation

ORIGINAL POSTER

I've been having some challenges this week applying for the DTV in Ho Chi Minh City.  

Yesterday they asked for "Provide passport FULL BOOK including EMPTY PAGES."  So I took a picture of every single page in my passport, and uploaded them one by one (since the site doesn't allow multiple uploads.   Today they respond: "Read our request CAREFULLY before submit. Provide passport FULL BOOK from page 1 to 52. If no, your visa application will be REJECT."  No information on what was wrong / missing. 

Yesterday they asked for "Provide your CV/ Portfolio."  Well I'm a software engineer and I mostly work on backend projects which are hard to put into a portfolio.  So I uploaded my Resume detailing my 25 years of industry experience as well as a public presentations I've given, screenshots from applications I'm working on, and a patent application (with my name on in) from a previous employer years ago.  Today they respond with: "Provide "YOUR" CV/ portfolio. If no, your visa application will be REJECT."

Has anyone experienced something similar?  It sounds like I only get one more shot at this before they reject my application.

Got the same request, combine them in a pdf. You’ll need to compress it too

I had to do this in KL. Take photos of every single page, combine into one PDF (using online PDF combiner) then compress the PDF to be less than 3MB (using online PDF compressor). That’s what they want. Their system won’t allow you to upload multiple files.

That is to make sure you haven't LEFT vietnam and bailed back to thailand to wait for the visa to be approved 🙂

AND

a brief google of "combine images to one document" comes up with many free online resources

Almost 3 months in the group and you failed to notice that the standard upload method is combining multiple documents or pictures into a single PDF, because each upload section only allows a single file upload l. A dozen or more successful applicants praised ilovepdf free website tool to accomplish this.
