DTV Soft Power — Hanoi ✅

* Applied late evening 10th March, approved before 1pm 16th March (4 business days)

* Only document request was a photo taken within last 6 months. I'd uploaded a passport photo, got flagged, resubmitted a selfie and no further issues

* Bank statements: I didn't include 3 full months, just mid January to the date I applied in March and that was accepted

* Hanoi airport immigration was rough, around 2 hour wait and disorganised queues. Apparently you can pay $30 to fast track

* Overall positive experience, happy to answer questions!

Hello everyone,

Anyone had the chance to apply for DTV in Hanoi while he/she has own comapny that pays him, showing the Company bank statement and balance (related to Applicant name in same bank) and got approved?

will appreciate some accurate answers of cases approved with same situation. thank you!

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.

Update : I received Approval email on 8 July( today )

I applied for a DTV visa on 30 June in Hanoi and received "pending approval" status on 1 July. I haven’t received any updates since then.

My question is:

has anyone received DTV visa approval in Hanoi today (7 July 2025)? How long will it take?

Got approved in 4 business days in Hanoi (business owner). I provided an overabundance of supporting documents including six months of bank statements and documents from my state government showing how long the companies have been in existence. It was much faster than I was expecting.

I won't leave Hanoi for a couple of weeks so no report yet on how smoothly the transition through airport immigration went.

Overall I think it is a process that doesn't come close to requiring the use of an agent.

Hello, im ready to apply DTV in Hanoi tomorrow, but bank statement for USAA didn’t show the last three day of February Can i screenshot the last three days until today with available balance? Thank you🙏🏾
