yep I get that bit too!🫢

Anonymous participant no I have no idea why it takes time to process an application. 7 days is not that long really

@Arthur ********

after what

@Andi **********

just confirmed Id get yourself to HCM and book a hotel there so u can send them the booking. Then u can claim u arrived to Hanoi but travelled to HCM as thats where u would be when application was processing. Whether they accept this or say u were in Hanoi when applied so application is invalid, who knows! U can also email Hanoi to ask I guess but then u are letting them know the issue so up to u!

@Andi **********

surely someone can arrive to HCM and show that stamp if applying in Hanoi but then travel to Hanoi and maybe show hotel booking in Hanoi? Or vice versa obv!

@Arthur ********

scam? They are not scamming u if u applied to the wrong embassy!

Correct for both soft power and freelance work etc

@Arthur ********

no probs. Hanoi is actually an easier embassy to apply anyway I think

Check on the site to see if HCM accepts Hanoi applications. But also it should be fine as you could claim that you arrived to HCM but then travelled to Hanoi! Or just take a trip to HCM anyway so you are in fact there! I guess its all about the arrival stamp though!

Mine took 7 days from Hanoi after going to Pending Approval

U need to upload it as signed PDF
