I did my first online 90 report yesterday, and I've noticed it still states that it is pending when I look at my visa status. Is this normal, and how long does it usually take to get approved?
Hi! I just wanted to ask why is Vietnam such a popular location? What makes it number one compared to other countries? I’m from Hong Kong and was told that it’ll be a pain to process the DTV visa from Hong Kong and to stay in Vietnam for a day or two and get it sorted out at the embassy in Hanoi. Is there a specific reason for this? Do they not care how long the 500,000 THB has been held in your bank account for?
Another question I have is how long do you have to have the 500,000 thb in your account for? I’ve herd some say 6 months before you can apply and others say nothing so a bit confused about that
Vientienne has a new online (only?) System since the beginning of this year. Anybody had any experience with this? Average process time and time The 500k Baht have to be on the account
FYI for anyone applying in Vietnam this week. I submitted my application to the Hanoi embassy just before 5pm on Monday and have been sitting at Pending document check ever since - 48 hours later. Previous reports suggest that usually people have moved to pending approval status by now. So delays for the holidays seem inevitable.
UPDATE: after asking for a couple of my documents to be re-sent, and resending pretty much immediately, I have now moved to Processing Pending Approval! I think that's good news 🤞🤞
UPDATE 2: Thanks so much for everyone's advice in this group! Tet miracles can happen. I got approved this afternoon a few hours before the embassy closed for the holiday. I hope everyone else in a similar situation got approved so quickly.
Question for anyone who applied in HCMC (online), how many business days did it take? Did you travel to Vietnam on a one way and but a ticket back once you were approved?
I’m in TH now and want to apply in Vietnam in January. Looking at flights but not sure whether to book a one-way or return and if return, for how long.
Hello everyone! I submitted my DTV application online in Ho Chi Minh City on November 2nd. The status changed to "Document Check" on November 4th, then to "Pending Approval" on November 5th. Since then, there have been no updates.
Has anyone else who applied online around November 2nd received any updates or approvals? Just trying to gauge the current processing times.
Looking forward to hearing about your experiences!
