Seems like jakrata is backlogged. I have seen post here that people are approved in one week and changed my plans to apply from Vietnam to Indonesia (jakrata). Now I am seeing post that people are approved in a week in Vietnam. In bali almost 2 weeks now, the application is not even opened yet, still at initial stage of document check (1)

Hanoi Requirements

I’m just looking at the requirements for hanoi and it states you have to be a legal resident? Does this mean you have to be a permanent resident or am i confusing it?

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve downloaded the ISSA app today since they claim to offer a money-back guarantee and handle all the document checks for the DTV visa. Before I go ahead with everything, I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience with them?

A couple of things I’m unsure about:

1️⃣ They keep requesting an employment statement from an employer. We’re self-employed and our company is registered in Dubai. Has anyone in a similar situation gone through this?

→ Which documents did you provide?

→ Did you create an employment contract for yourself, or how did you handle it?

2️⃣ I know I can search in the group, but the information is sometimes outdated or conflicting. So I’d love some recent first-hand feedback:

Has anyone recently applied for the DTV in Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi and where did the process go faster for you?

I’ve seen mixed opinions — sometimes people say HCMC is slower now, others say Hanoi has longer waits. So if anyone here has current insights or a recent timeline, it would be super helpful 🙏

Thanks a lot in advance! 🙌

Hey all, I’m heading to Hanoi on Monday and was hoping to find out if bank statements can be a few days old by the time I submit them? I prepared all my documents last night hoping that I can send them in soon after I land in Vietnam.

Appreciate any help, thank you ~

Hi there a friend of mine from Honduras has a ticked for Monday 7 am from Mumbai to Bangkok Thailand, she has not yet received her visa but a bit nervous because if she does not have by then, she will not be able to board the plane to Bangkok, is there a way to get any customer service or emergency visa over the weekend ?

Thank you in advance for any responses

Anyone had a DTV approved in the last week for a digital nomad route - where did they go? Heard Vietnam started denying them - is that true? I'm from UK currently in Thailand so looking for a safe place nearby to apply from.

Hello! It's been exactly 7 days since I applied in Hanoi (workation) US citizen , my application has been on pending approval for 6 days. I'm getting worried? Any idea how much longer I can expect? I'm itching to leave, love Vietnam but Hanoi is not for me. I understand I have to remain here for the chance an interview is required.

Kind Advice Requested...

I applied for my Muay Thai DTV in Hanoi. My application was canceled, saying that I didn't have enough months left in my passport.

So we hoofed it over to the Embassy and filed for new passports.

I just got word that our new passports are arriving early next week, so I have to re-apply. Do I re-apply at Hanoi, or do I have to switch to HCMC? You switch cities if you get a rejection, right? But for a cancelation, you can re-apply at the same location?

Please let me know if you have actual experience with this.

No annoying gripes or jabs, thanks.

I applied for a DTV visa in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on September 18th. On September 19th, I received a request for additional documents. I had only submitted three pay slips. They asked for pay slips for the last six months and to highlight the corresponding payments on the bank statement for the last few months. I prepared everything and submitted it on September 19th.

On September 25th, the status changed from "Pending document analysis" to "Pending approval."

But due to a problem and confusion over the dates, I applied for a Vietnam visa until September 25th instead of October 15th. So, I had to urgently return to Thailand on September 25th.

I returned to Thailand with a 60-day tourist visa exemption. And on September 29th, I received a refusal, without giving any reason.

I submitted all the necessary documents: six months' salary, a bank statement for the last six months with a balance over 500,000 baht, and certified by the bank. A letter from my employer explaining and mentioning my agreement to work remotely, also stating that we do not work for Thai clients, as well as a sample of the last job I did. The insurance certificate valid for Thailand, and the form. TM30.

I don't see what happened. Could it be because I returned to Thailand before the process was complete?
