What's the equivalent of DTV for Vietnam? No work, just savings

Has anyone experience with handing in non-English bank statements (and payslips) at an embassy outside of your home country?

For example I’m German and I apply for workation DTV in Vietnam and I am a bit lost of how to provide TRANSLATIONS of the bank statements of the last 3-6 months. It basically consists of numbers only and is like 20 pages long, so it would take forever to translate that. It’s an actual German bank so no wise or revolut account. Does anyone have an idea for that? Thanks in advance

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?

Apply in Vietnam ——Can I leave Vietnam?

I had no experience applying for a Vietnamese visa the first time,Only applied for 15 days（to Mar.31），My visa status is currently pending approval，If I haven't gotten approval by then, can I leave Vietnam and just travel around the neighboring countries?

Hi everyone, I applied for a DTV in Hanoi, but my application is still in pending approval status.

Is it possible to move to a different city in Vietnam while the application is still pending, or do I need to stay in Hanoi until it’s approved?

If anyone has experience with this, please share. Thanks!

Hello,

submitted my documents to Issa Compass and everything got reviewed, got my visa « submitted » 23rd February in Hanoi by Issa, right during Tet holidays, how much days should I expect to wait in Vietnam due to the holidays and the reopening only this Monday of the embassy ? Is there any other applicants in Hanoi waiting right now in Hanoi or got any answer ?

Hey everyone! I have just submitted an application in Hanoi, but because of the Luanr new year holidays past week, I assume they are overloaded with applications from last week. Maybe someone knows how these holidays affect the speed at which they process? Plus 1 week to the standard time maybe? Thanks!

Hello, I submitted my DTV visa application on 13 Feb. I received an email yesterday asking to submit my Visa Entry Stamp in Vietnam. I submitted it but then I realized I applied for a visa to stay in Vietnam as well and I didn’t submit that. It was a complete oversight that didn’t include the Vietnam Visa as well.

- Will they ask for another submission or could they cancel/reject my visa?

( I’ve sent email to the embassy to let them know and I’ve included the Visa pdf in the email)
