Has anyone done visa recently in Hanoi?

Are we allowed to enter the embassy to do it or is it online the same as Ho Chi Minh?

Thanks

Hello,

I am about to apply for the DTV ( softpower ) in Hanoi. I often read that people have to send them ALL passport pages. Should i send them everything already or just when they ask about it? Because in the application form they just ask for the first page with all your data.

Thank you 🙏

Hello everyone,

I’m going to Vietnam to apply for the DTV visa. Would you recommend going to Hanoi to do it at the embassy, or applying online from any city in Vietnam? Or another option?

Which option is easier?

Is Vietnam the best country to do it?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

Hi all, I have submitted my application through an agent for approval in Hanoi. I submitted 3 months worth of bank statements, which although has a final balance of over 500,000, for the last 2 months, the first month is below that (about 430,000). Has anyone done something similar at Hanoi and been approved?

Update [Approved 30th June]

Has anyone ever got your approval email on Friday midnight or weekends in Hanoi? I am just curious if I can still hope on weekends.

Update : The visa finally got approved!! ✅✅✅

🗓️My timeline 👇🏻

- 29May : Finished the application almost at midnight

- 30May : "Pending Document Checking 1 "

- 5 June : "Pending Approval 1 "

- 11 June: Visa got approved and received Email

📌Total working days = 9 days ( I include 2-3June holiday because some people got approved that day too)

Thank you so much to this group that shared a lot of useful information and support!!

I would like to know if anybody who apply from Hanoi get approved with more than 5 working days since the status change to "pending approval"

I applied on 29May after office hour then the status changed to "pending document checking" next day 30May

Then 5June status was changed to "pending approval" and no additional documents were requested.

Since the majority of people who post their successful story here got the approval so fast (even they applied after I did mine)

So I just want to know if I should go following up at the embassy or just keep calm and waiting.

TIA.🙏

Has anyone successfully gotten a soft-power DTV visa in Hanoi this month? I’m seeing a lot of not so great posts about HCMC but nothing about Hanoi? Thanks in advance.

Going to apply in Hanoi next months.
