Hello everyone,

With the announced mourning period following the passing of the princess, do you think embassy processing times might be affected?

My DTV application (workation) is currently showing "Pending Approval"  (since June 11) at the embassy in Hanoi. Has anyone heard whether visa processing will be delayed?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Nothing is announced. Be patient and stay in Vietnam until the decision is known.

"Further announcements regarding funeral rites and official mourning arrangements are expected from the Bureau of the Royal Household. Despite the national mourning period, the Government has announced that scheduled meetings, conferences, celebrations, business events and community activities may proceed as planned." Seems work will proceed as normal until officials announce otherwise.
