Hello,

I am about to apply for the DTV ( softpower ) in Hanoi. I often read that people have to send them ALL passport pages. Should i send them everything already or just when they ask about it? Because in the application form they just ask for the first page with all your data.

Thank you 🙏

Hi everyone! I was just asked to provide additional documents, and I’ve submitted them. Will the process go faster than the initial review, or will I need to wait another two weeks?

Thanks

Has anyone hear had experience applying with the thai dtv visa, ho chi minh city?

Submitted application and payment to Chicago consulate and it is now telling me “pending payment” after it said my debit payment failed. I did not receive any sort of fraud notification from bank, nor have a seen any payments out of my account. It’s not giving an option to retry payment again. Any advice on what to do? Thanks in advance 🙏

Update: I restarted application and used another debit card. Had to verify with bank before having it approved the 3rd time! It’s now in processing.

My application non immigrant O. has been sat at pending approval for almost a week after having resubmitted evidence of funds at their request. My first submission screenshots of wage slips not sufficient. Worried that having transferred from one of my accts £10k on the day of resubmitting and providing bank statement was also not acceptable? Hope I am over worrying. No one answers the phone there in London Embassy, spent hours ,I have sent email too. Do I need to re apply? I would expect the ‘rejected’ to be highlighted in that event.

Anyone!

Just submitted my application through Thai london embassy, on their portal it states “submitted” and status says “processing pending document check” - I’ve had no confirmation email or anything though. Do I need to keep returning to the portal to check the status of my application or will I get an email?

Can anyone tell us the stages? I'm at Processing Pending Document Check (1) and I'm assuming there is a "Submit more documents" and then what? Approved or Denied? TYIA

hello, so I applied for the DTV seven days ago in Hanoi and havent heard back. I have a flight for tomorrow to Korea. Do I have to remain in Vietnam while my visa is processing or can I leave. Also how would i get the visa sticker on my passport?

Hello Everyone, currently i am in thailand as a tourist. And since applying for DTV visa from inside thailand is not allowed.

Can i go to Malaysia and apply from there ? Did anyone had similar situation ?

Update and question please

Hi everyone, just looking for some clarification and to vent a little too! 😅

I posted yesterday about being asked to attend an interview in London for my visa application. Since I live on an island near London (not in it), I had to book a last-minute flight last night and hotel just to attend — which cost me over £400.

✅ I attended the interview — it lasted about 5 minutes.

Now, I’ve received a follow-up email.

My questions are:

• Does the 10-working-day processing time start from today (the day of the interview)?

• Is there any chance it could be approved before the 10 days? And I will be able to go on the 24th?

When I applied on the 5th of September, I was then asked for proof of flights to Thailand, which I then booked and provided — my flight is on the 24th of September. I honestly thought that would leave plenty of time.

Before anyone asks — no, the flight isn’t flexible (my fault, I know). But it still feels crazy that it might take this long, especially after attending in person.

Feeling a bit stressed and deflated after all the effort and cost involved just to be left waiting 😞
