Hi everyone, i recently applied for the DTV visa in HCMC, Vietnam on the 2nd of April. They asked for additional documents on the 4th and since hasn’t had any updates. I would love to return to Thailand for Songkran. Do you think my visa will get approved?! Should I be worried?!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has applied for a DTV visa in Ho Chi Minh City and is currently waiting for approval, having submitted additional documents. With the Songkran holiday in Thailand causing agency closures, community members advise patience, indicating that updates are unlikely until after the holiday ends.
