hey guys. I submitted my application in Ho Chi Minh City, on April 17th. And On April 18th, the status changed to ‘pending approval’, and there has been no progress since then. It has now been more than 10 workdays. Is anyone else experiencing the same situation? What should I do? Should I contact the embassy?

So I applied at the London embassy almost a month ago. They asked for more information about my business which I sent back. Then a few days later they asked for another recent photo of me. And since then…silence. It’s been over two weeks now.

My flight is in two weeks time and my husband also still has to apply for the spouse visa, does anyone think there is any point in trying to call the embassy and check progress?

📢 Question About DTV Visa Application at the Thai Consulate in Hanoi 🇹🇭🇻🇳

Hi everyone! I’m looking for updated information regarding the DTV visa application at the Thai Consulate in Hanoi.

1️⃣ Does the 500,000 THB need to be in my bank account for at least three months prior to applying, or are there different minimum requirements?

2️⃣ What is the processing time for the visa once all documents are submitted?

If anyone has recently applied or has firsthand experience with the process in Hanoi, I’d really appreciate your insights! 🙏

Thanks in advance

Anyone know how long the Washington DTV takes? I submitted my paperwork as a business owner on 3/05/25 but….. still on Pending document review (1)…

How long is the processing time for the e-VISA through Kathmandu? The information on their website is not updated since when they were still using VFS Global Center, so I am seeking more up to date info from those who have recently applied.

Update on DTV application online through Sydney Embassy. I applied using soft power with this course [members only]/ For proof of address I gave my drivers licence and a phone bill. Four months of bank statements. Did not need to show proof of flight and accom. Processing time was 14 days, approval email came through on a Saturday. Paid with a Thai credit card, as my Australian credit card rejected the transaction due to fraud monitoring.

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

How long until I should start chasing up???

Hey team

Put my application in last Saturday the 11th from

Australia to the Canberra embassy. (I’m in Brisbane Australia).

I know it’s only been a week, but I have a flight booked on the 5th of February.

I read through this group extensively before applying so I included many, many additional documents, hoping to ensure a smooth a quick process.

I still have just over two weeks, but I was expecting to hear something, according to what other people’s experiences have been on here. (Seems to be done within a week)

Am I worrying for nothing?

*UPDATE*

I was approved yesterday without any further documentation required. Thankfully

Does anyone know how many days it typically takes to receive a Residency Certificate after applying at Immigration Division 1 ?

Hello HCMC Applicants - how long did you have to wait after you submitted your application to receive updates? It has almost been 5 business days of me waiting.

Im anxious and just want to see some progress hahaah
