OPRubyChestnut08 Thank you. I came to Vientiane, got 30 days visa so if that application is rejected, I’ll reapply. I wouldn’t dare overstaying just a day in Vietnam 🤣

I actually got my approval from Hanoi legit 10 hours after arriving back in Bangkok. Fortunately I took the risk knowing I would only be back in Bangkok for 3 days before heading out again. My back up plan was to apply from Mumbai since I'd be there for 14 full days. So the risk I was taking was in case being denied in both places, I could still come back using education visa, hoping I would not be denied entry since it is for medical reasons with doctor's letter etc. Will enter back using DTV ❤️❤️❤️ PS...if you didn't get it today, hopefully tmrw. Mine was submitted on Mon, pending on Wed and was approved next Tues. Workation.Yhadnapa ***************

I’ve been praying to the universe and telling myself, “Whichever God hears me first, please approve it before I land in Bangkok at 6 PM this Sunday” 🤣Vaidas **********
So Saturday and Sunday are our last hope! To which God to pray for this? 😃

What to do if Sunday night passes with nothing?If your dashboard is still "Pending" on Monday morning (Feb 16):
Don't panic: It just means you didn't make the "pre-holiday" batch.
The Wait: You will likely have to wait until Monday, Feb 23. The staff will return from the Tet holiday and their first priority is usually clearing out the "Pending Approval" folder from the week before.

I’ve been throwing fists at my ChatGPT about this for the last 2 days already 🤣Vaidas **********
Timing Probability Why?
This Weekend (Feb 14-15) 60% Since you hit "Pending" on Tuesday, the manual work is likely done. The system often does a final "batch release" on Saturday/Sunday. I like 60% chance AI gave me, but... sounds too good to be true

I arrived into Vietnam last night and submitted my application to Hanoi at 3am today.
I then got an email at 2pm today requesting one supporting document (proof of salary via bank statements)
Because of the file size thing it took me a while to figure out how to get it under 3mb but submitted at 4pm today.
So, let’s see what happens. They must be trying to expedite all of them in Vietnam because of Tet because that seems very quick to request a document so soon after submission.
