HCMC processing time 11th day

First of all thanks for all the great help within this group!

Update: further documents on 21st August 

I applied on the 10th of August at 8am in ho chi minh embassy for the DTV visa as a freelancer and I am still in "pending document check". I sent an email 3 days ago because I have an onward flight on Sunday but no response at all.

Is it still a regular case and should I leave the country on Sunday (heading europe)

Thanks and cheers

Answer summary

A user applied for a DTV visa at the Ho Chi Minh City embassy on August 10 and is awaiting further documents as they remain in 'pending document check'. With an onward flight to Europe on the upcoming Sunday, the user is concerned about the potential impact of leaving the jurisdiction. Community members suggest waiting a bit longer, as it's only the 8th business day, and advise against leaving, as this could risk visa rejection. They recommend contacting the embassy again, possibly through Facebook Messenger for quicker responses.

If you leave the jurisdiction of the consulate you applied through you risk your application being rejected
