What’s everyone’s experience been like with the Canberra embassy? Applied a bit over a month ago, got asked for further documents and now it’s been pending for 3-4 weeks

HCMC Vietnam how long You waiting? I sent on 6th of may and still waiting:(

Hi folks!

I was in pending approval for two days but now when I logged in it says pending document check, but I haven’t gotten a request for further documents.

Has anyone experienced this before? My flight was supposed to be tomorrow so I think I may need to change it

Tried to search to see if others have experienced the same but had a hard time finding posts

Thanks so much for your insights in advanced!

I submitted my application on Monday in Vientianne and had 2 requests for further documents (passport picture and financial evidecne. I uploaded those and yesterday the status went to pending approval. But today I got 2 emails again asking for the same documents. But if I login to the E-visa website it doesn't show I have to upload the documents like last time. It's still showing pending approval with no way to upload any extra documents. Has anyone experienced the same?

Has anyone ever had an issue with DTV requesting more documents? They asked for my passport with middle name and passport only have middle initial but the application requested my full name so wondering if my Driver License with middle name will work I submitted that but passport does not have middle name spelled out

Hello everyone,

Here’s my situation: I applied for the DTV Visa on Wednesday, February 26. My status was Pending Document Check for two days until today, Friday, February 28. They requested a more recent photo with a plain white background, which I uploaded. As soon as I submitted it, my status changed instantly to Pending Approval.

Has anyone in this group applied at the Jakarta embassy? If so, how long did it take after reaching Pending Approval to receive the visa?

(As a side question, is it possible that even after reaching Pending Approval, they might request additional documents?)

I have a flight back to Bangkok on Thursday, March 6. Should I keep my flight, or is it too uncertain? Thanks!

Hello group,

(HANOI) What are the chances that after being on "pending approval" for over a week, and after they already requested a higher quality picture of my passport, they ask me for more documents or an interview?

I'm flying out of Vietnam on Monday (not to Thailand) and I'm afraid they will ask for an interview or something extra. Should I maybe send an email to check why is it taking so long?

Thanks :)

Sharing my DTV Journey so far + Question:

I submitted on 2/10 in HCMC.

2/14 status changed to "Pending approval" and now 2/17 it is back to Pending document check.

Has anyone experienced this?

UPDATE: 7 PM Visa approved

I see the same sentiments all over regarding already submitted documentation and the embassies get back to you asking for exactly the documentation you have already sent.

In particular for those who sent bigger packages of documentation in the case of applying as freelancer/working remotely.

It seems that very often the staff looking at these documents only fast glance and then very often ask for is already submitted even if you have a cover letter specifying each item included.

What's your experience on the topic?

Submitted and given a DTV in Singapore. Just 2 additional document requests. 3 weeks processing time in total. No problems.
