Hi! Anyone have success at HCMC this week?

UPDATE: changed to ‘pending approval’ late last night - note that this update doesn’t get sent by email. Fingers crossed for Monday - I’ll keep you updated and share my experience 🤞🏼

My partner and I applied Sunday evening, Tuesday had a document request that we both submitted within 2 hours and the. Have had no update since..

I’m aware that Thursday was a holiday so that pushes the 5 working days to EOD Monday.

Anyone else in a similar situation? Seems odd to not have had any update from the document being submitted ..

And from other posts it doesn’t seem like a document request resets the 5 days (lots of people get approved within a couple of hours of a document request)

Thanks!

I suspect embassies from some locations have started “the deal” with the agents in terms of visa applications, and you will not get your DTV visa by yourself. It is kind of mafia thing and some of you guys from First World countries will not understand it. There is a system taking place and I am saying this for you to pay attention on where you are applying. I just got stamped my visa now and it is until 28 May. They started counting from the date the visa is issued.

Hi, i’ve seen a good flight ticket going to Tapei. But i discovered there is a stop in Seoul. Which of these two places is easier (time, no boring, live cost waiting) to apply for DTV (for the ones who did it) ?

Has anyone here experienced getting their DTV Visa rejected? I'm applying in person soon but my anxiety is getting the best of me. I've been to Thailand just a week ago and I really loved it there and I decided to move to Bangkok and I thought the best visa to apply for is the DTV Visa because I work remotely. And by the way would it matter if I only started to work remotely. I got hired last October of 2024. What are my chances of getting my DTV Visa approved? Thank you so much!

Thank you very much to the people in this group who helped us to get our DTV approved🥳🥳 We got it in Jakarta and if there is anyone who is planning to go there before they switch to evisa later this month and has questions, let me know and I will try to respond. Generally, it is very smooth and the people there are very nice so I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area.
