EDIT: I got approved ✅

Hello, I’m looking for some advice on my DTV application through HCMC.

I’ve been asked for documents three times now. The latest request just says “Other request documents: Attach documents again. HIGHLIGHT ALL INCOME amounts you received in the bank statement you provided.” I did highlight my income last time but I think the officer got confused. I submitted official Jan and Feb statements plus an unofficial web printout for March and there was overlapping data between them. My bank only publishes statements once a month at the end.

Now I’m debating whether to resubmit now with the overlap removed and everything clearly highlighted a second time with notes explaining each credit to my account, or waiting 2-3 days for my official March statement so I can submit three clean official documents together and highlighted so there is no overlap. Problem is my Vietnam visa expires April 4th so I’m feeling the pressure.

Has anyone dealt with a third document request like this? Would you guys recommend I wait for the official March statement and submit that? Is it possible to leave Vietnam and come back so they can issue it to me? I heard I need to be in Vietnam when they issue me the visa so I was considering doing a border run and waiting it out. The one issue I have is I already booked an Airbnb in Thailand so I’d have to swallow both the cost of the flat and the visa run. Is it possible to go somewhere else and wait for the visa before flying into Thailand or will they ask a third time for where I am?

Hey

I applied for Thailand DTV visa in January 8 then they email me for additional documents required I submit additional documents in 13 January

Now it's about 2 months and this is already 9th week since the application however the portal is still showing pending documents

I also emailed twice regarding my application but I have not received any response yet If you can help me

Query on Vietnam and the 2 embassies: I am planning on landing in Hanoi making my application then taking a trip to halong bay or somewhere. Then potentially a trip to phu quoc to chill as i wait out the process if still ongoing. Travelling in two weeks time.

Im reading that provided I have entry stamp and accommodation in the jurisdiction of the application then I am ok. Any experiences here with moving in country while processing is ongoing?

Any feedback on Tet delays? I presume TH embassy will take opportunity to close.

Anyone else applied from Canberra embassy for their DVT? I’ve had pending approval sine Feb 4th and silence since. My flight was meant to be today and had no luck calling and emailing. So have changed my flight today which is frustrating! It seems others are getting approved closest to their travel dates but sadly not mine. Any advice what I should do?

Issa compass. I don't recommend this company's service. I uploaded all the documents they requested. They approved it all, then i paid in 8 jan. They kept delaying the application by asking some stupid and repetitive questions that's i answered before. They started the application in 13 jan. Now it is 28 jan (more than 2 weeks). i sent them a message in 27 jan, they said that the embassy didn't replied yet. In 28 jan i sent them again telling them that i have a flight in 31 jan, and i need to extend my visa here in bali. They replied that the embassy told them to upload all pages of my passport (even if it's blank) and the same with my old passport which i don't have. I will keep you updated what will happen next.

Is anyone experiencing delays after applying for a DTV in Cambodia. My friend has been waiting 30+ days now. I assume the delay is due to the ongoing conflict.

Hi everyone,

Could anyone please assist me with information on how to contact the Thai Embassy in Nigeria? I applied for a tourist e-visa from Ghana, which is processed through the Royal Thai Embassy in Abuja. I submitted my application on 20th October and even purchased my return ticket for 17th December as required. I was asked to provide additional documents, which I submitted on 3rd November.

My flight is now a week away, but the e-visa status is still pending approval. Has anyone experienced a similar delay? Do the visas typically get approved before the flight date?

Hello!

I have a couple of questions regarding the choice of Embassy/Consulate.

1. I applied in Frankfurt/Germany and got a request for addiitional documents four days after I initially applied. Since I submitted the documents, it's been almost three weeks without any update. Has anyone else here gone through Frankfurt in recent weeks/months? What are your experiences?

2. I thought I have to go through Frankfurt, because it's close to where I live, and they are responsible for handling request from people in my region. Since there is a lot of discussion in this forum about choosing a different embassy/consulate for applying, I would love to understand the way this would work. Are you guys then travelling to the place of that specific consulate and stay there until the decision on the DTV has been made? Thanks in advance!

waiting since 29/9, applied in Brussels, don't understand why it takes so long while all documents are provided, also it's weird they could be asking for additional documents instead of requiring them during the initial upload, that would save so much time, anyways, hope the wait will be over soon...

Do you have any feedback on the current delays with the Paris embassy?
