Has anyone recently had their visa approved from Ho Chi Minh City? I know there has been national holidays and so things have been a lot slower, but I’ve seen a lot of approvals from Hanoi in the group and none from Ho Chi Minh lately.

I submitted my application for workcation on the 8th December, was asked for more documents yesterday on 10th, and now on “Pending document check (1)”. Anyone else in waiting to hear from HCM?

Hello! 👋

I’m looking for a good hotel in Ho Chi Minh City where I can stay for a while while waiting for a visa. If anyone has recommendations or experience with hotels in the city, I’d really appreciate it!

Who’s else is in HCM Vietnam that’s still pending for document check. (Applied/paid Dec.2 at 3am)

Should had done Hanoi, seems like everyone’s getting it done within 4 business days or at least past the document check phase within the first day or 2.

DTV VISA Vietnam

No one says just how boring it is being in a place you don't want to be, staying in a hotel, awaiting your visa in Vietnam HCMC 🤣

What did y'all do for the estimated 2 weeks for your visas in ho chi Minh city. ?

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve downloaded the ISSA app today since they claim to offer a money-back guarantee and handle all the document checks for the DTV visa. Before I go ahead with everything, I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience with them?

A couple of things I’m unsure about:

1️⃣ They keep requesting an employment statement from an employer. We’re self-employed and our company is registered in Dubai. Has anyone in a similar situation gone through this?

→ Which documents did you provide?

→ Did you create an employment contract for yourself, or how did you handle it?

2️⃣ I know I can search in the group, but the information is sometimes outdated or conflicting. So I’d love some recent first-hand feedback:

Has anyone recently applied for the DTV in Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi and where did the process go faster for you?

I’ve seen mixed opinions — sometimes people say HCMC is slower now, others say Hanoi has longer waits. So if anyone here has current insights or a recent timeline, it would be super helpful 🙏

Thanks a lot in advance! 🙌

Anyone with DTV -

(How long did it take you to get approved?)

Has anyone ever applied for a DTV visa in Ho Chi Minh City? How was it? Was the wait long?

Alternate Soft Power Cooking Schools Bangkok

1.) What are some alternate soft power cooking schools in Bangkok to apply with apart from Arun Cooking & House of Taste ?

2.) Between Hanoi, HCMC & Bali, who has had success applying there from which city ?

Yes, I’ve used the search bar of this group religiously. Just good to collect additional data. Thanks

Hi everyone I plan to apply for my visa in Ho Chi Minh City on Monday November 10 but I’m hearing the wait is long right now so I’m considering Hanoi instead If you’re in Vietnam which city is faster these days and any recent wait times or tips

For Ho Chi Minh embassy applications from Da Nang, do they require 3 months or 6 months evidence of 500,000 baht currently?
