What should self-employed individuals provide when applying for the DTV visa through ISSA in Vietnam?

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve downloaded the ISSA app today since they claim to offer a money-back guarantee and handle all the document checks for the DTV visa. Before I go ahead with everything, I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience with them?

A couple of things I’m unsure about:

1️⃣ They keep requesting an employment statement from an employer. We’re self-employed and our company is registered in Dubai. Has anyone in a similar situation gone through this?

→ Which documents did you provide?

→ Did you create an employment contract for yourself, or how did you handle it?

2️⃣ I know I can search in the group, but the information is sometimes outdated or conflicting. So I’d love some recent first-hand feedback:

Has anyone recently applied for the DTV in Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi and where did the process go faster for you?

I’ve seen mixed opinions — sometimes people say HCMC is slower now, others say Hanoi has longer waits. So if anyone here has current insights or a recent timeline, it would be super helpful 🙏

Thanks a lot in advance! 🙌
