Those who applied for DTV (specifically Workcation route) in Hanoi - once your application was moved to Pending Approval, how long did it take to process?

My document review was very quick turnaround (including a request for additional documents) so I'm optimistic...

Uk Visa site : Application , 2 weeks later a Request for documents…..then any ideas how long till approval ? Anyone had same recently? Thanks

Got it! Thank you all for sharing information here it was really helpful! Special thanks to Kurt J Oldervik , for such high knowledge and will to help. A true champ!

I attached files with the table of content I attached in each pdf.

Remote worker visa, applied from Da Nang (Ho Chi Minh embassy)

5 Jan: Applied

8 Jan: Doc Request 1

14 Jan: Doc Request 2

16 Jan: Visa granted (email at 7:15pm)

You can see from the progression of my documents for what they asked for. I haven't attached the initial Digital Work pdf screenshot here, as I overwrote it when I resent it for the 1st Doc Request.

Good luck!

Visa valid till 2031, see you along the way 🙌

Has anyone recently had their visa approved from Ho Chi Minh City? I know there has been national holidays and so things have been a lot slower, but I’ve seen a lot of approvals from Hanoi in the group and none from Ho Chi Minh lately.

I submitted my application for workcation on the 8th December, was asked for more documents yesterday on 10th, and now on “Pending document check (1)”. Anyone else in waiting to hear from HCM?

Hi everyone

is pending approval a good sign?

they asked for more documents this morning asking for the unmarked bank statement, I responded with the letter explaining it is how the bank provided it which it was stamped inside the bank and I did not unmark it. now the status changed to pending approval. im very anxious.

I applied on 11 September at the Jakarta Embassy for the Muay Thai Soft Power route. Around 17 September, I received a request for all passport pages. Around 24 or 25 September, I received a request for proof of experience and interest in Muay Thai.

Today, on 29 September, the status changed to “Pending Approval” at 10 a.m., but at 6 p.m.(embassy works till 5pm for info) it suddenly changed back to “Processing – Pending Document Check (1),” even though I didn’t upload any new documents. How and why did this happen?

Hey everyone,

I applied for the DTV visa in Kuala Lumpur on September 3rd. It’s been 3 weeks now and I haven’t received any updates yet. Two days after I applied, they requested some additional documents, which I uploaded the same day.

Should I be worried, or is this kind of waiting time normal?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

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
