Hello, I applied in Hanoi for a soft power visa Muy Thai on Friday around 5 PM. On Monday around 5 PM, it went into "pending approval" and I haven't heard anything since 😥

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user reported applying for a Muay Thai soft power visa in Hanoi and shared their concern about the status being 'pending approval' after three days. Comments from other users suggested being patient, as the typical processing time can range from 10 to 15 business days, though delays can occur. There was also encouragement to remain in Vietnam while waiting for the decision.
