Am waiting in Phnom Penh for my visa application result. It’s been sat at ‘processed, pending approval’ for 2 days, and my flight back is tomorrow. Before I book an alternative flight, does anyone know if the approvals only happen Mon to Friday, or do they also process at all on the weekend ??

Thanks

Hi everyone, does anyone managed to get a reason from Hanoi Embassy (or any Embassy) if DTV application is cancelled ? I applied with soft power

Sunday 25: submit and paid

Tuesday 27: additional documents requested and I provided

Later Tuesday 27: pending approval

Just now: application cancelled

I have no idea what I do wrong, I follow all the advices found in this group. I prepared only accurate document and double check all information I input on website.

I’m lost because I was really counting on this visa and I don’t know what to changes for next application, as I don’t know what was wrong on this one…

Submitted workcation at Washington DC embassy on April 30th.

April 6th got a request for recent payment slip

April 10th submitted recent payment slip

Application has been stuck in pending document check 9 business days already.

At what point should I contact the embassy for an update as my flight is on June 7th and starting to get worried.

Any feedback helps!

Did anyone did the same? What information you put? Should I also add the bank statement? Did the visa went through with no problems?

I have everything, contract with a company, the invoices with the payments each month. And just this little thing now.

I’m applying from Argentina and I’ve asked to the embassy but they are not very helpful with the reply, I’ve asked the same and they only said, a sponsor letter is a letter saying someone can take care of me 😅

Thanks 🙏

hi lovely people! i just wanted to thank you to everyone who has contributed in this group

i got my DTV from manila in 17 days (longer than expected because there were holidays such as songkran and easter)

i applied under remote worker and what i wanted to suggest to you

read the requirements for the process and the posts in this group very carefully

you can search your questions and find out the answers

triple check everything before submitting

the embassy contacted my employer and i did not know it, so they had been waiting for an answer from them, i learned about this when i contacted them via e-mail, they respond and they are very nice so don't hesitate to contact them

wishing everyone's process is easy

EDIT: Finally got it today, May 1st. Patience works! Thanks for all the comments

I've been stuck on "Pending Approval" since April 21st here in Hanoi. I originally submitted on the 18th (Friday afternoon) and got moved to Pending Approval on Monday, no documents check required. I'm applying for a workation visa and submitted a ton of documents so it should cover everything. I bought round-trip tickets and I'm going back to Thailand on May 14th. I've heard some conspiracy theories that the longer your stay here, the slower you'll be processed, so that might be it.

It's been about 8 working days so far, which I know isn't *super* long, but I've seen some people apply after me that have already been approved here in Hanoi. I know there might be a backlog from Songkran and there's a holiday here in Vietnam today and tomorrow. I sent consular.han@mfa.go.th an email yesterday morning with no response yet.

Anything else I can do besides just wait? Was hoping to go to Da Nang to celebrate after I get my visa but we'll see if I have time...

I just applied for my DTV through the Madrid embassy in Spain. I’m a legal temporary resident with a residence card so I should be good (I included that in my application).

My question though is about the bank statements. I have a few bank accounts, one of them is my savings account that I don’t usually touch and it’s the one that always has 500,000 baht. My deposits don’t go to that account though. Is that a problem? Do I need to write to the embassy explaining that or should I be fine? Has anyone been in this situation before? I have to leave Spain for family stuff at the beginning of June and I know this embassy can take a while so I want this to be as smooth/quick as possible.

Hello, I applied for Thai DTV visa. After two weeks I was asked for additional documents which I submitted and it has been about two weeks since I submitted additional documents that I haven’t heard anything. My question is since I already booked my ticket, is it ok to travel to Thailand while my DTV visa is processing? Of course I will leave Thailand and re-enter if my DTV is approved to activate it. But I am not sure if this is ok or it might get my DTV application rejected.

I tried applying for DTV on the official website today. I’ve a hyphenated name. Unfortunately it doesn’t accept the hyphen. So I’ve just typed in my name without the hyphen. Would this be a problem? Your input would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I’m making my DTV and would like to have your feedback, does anyone had to call ambassy to make the process faster ? I’m talking about a gentle call not get them mad 😄

Thank you all!
