I’m a German digital nomad / content creator. I submitted my DTV application in HCMC and received a request for additional documents on Monday 16:32 (last week). I uploaded everything the same evening at 21:00.
Since then the status has been stuck on “Pending Document Check” for 8 full working days (today is Thursday).
My documents include:
• Certified English translations + original German bank statements
• Detailed explanation letter (new income, no tax returns yet because still under German threshold)
• Marked TikTok/PayPal transfers
• Full passport, flight ticket, selfies at Marble Mountains + hotel balcony ( da nang)
I know many people wait long, but I’m getting a bit nervous because I have a flight to Thailand at the end of this week.
Has anyone had a similar experience (long pending after Monday evening upload, new income with explanation instead of tax returns, selfies without timestamp) and still got approved?
How long did it take in your case? Did it jump straight from “Pending Document Check” to “Approved”?
If you are in the same batch or had a similar timeline, feel free to DM me or comment – it would be nice to stay updated together, since they often seem to release in batches.
Thank you very much and good luck to everyone waiting! 🙏
UPDATE: Today, 18 Feb 5.12PM My visa got approved!! Goodluck everyone! As promised I’ll make a detailed video on all the docs I submitted which would help self employed freelancers like me!
Abit worried about my DTV status for softpower, muay thai, applied in HCMC.
Feb 10 5.30pm - submitted
Feb 13 12pm - additional documents requested ( 6 months statement and proof of income) I’m a freelance graphics designer and am worried they think im sus for applying via softpower, but i did provide proof of income with invoices attached and my portfolio, indicating i want to learn muay thai during my free time whilst working my job.
Feb 13 11pm - submitted additional documents requested
Feb 18 today - still pending document check…
Is this normal for it to take so long? Losing hope… been seeing people get moved to pending approval within like 3 working days…
