@To**
yes everything converted to PDF, then merged, then compressed. 1 file for location, 1 for financials and 1 for the Muay Thai. All files were well below 1MB. I used ‘I ♥️ PDF’ for this.

The application system tells you at the very beginning of the form (where you have to upload the biodata page of your passport), I think it was 6 months

@James *******
that's why he said 'in 12 months', in 6 months he will have to go out and back in, next in-country extension would then be in 12 months 😉

maybe if you fly same day as arrival, they could see it as a connecting flight. Make sure to add your boarding pass for both flights, hotel booking in Hanoi to the application. But the biggest issue is that starting Saturday the whole country shuts down for a week for Tet (lunar New Year) so if you apply today, you won't be approved until 5 or 6 February at the earliest

Anonymous participant yeah if I don't get it today I will definitely be calling them tomorrow. I think they send out the approvals/visa's at the end of the day (my friend got hers at 6:30pm even) so I'll just wait it out today. I do assume they want to process all applications from last week before Tet (starting this weekend). I just want to fly back to TH and am definitely not known for being patient 😛

I actually applied to HCM, but they're not answering the phone. Also, today is (business) day 5, so it's not overdue (yet), just want to 'remind' them of my application 😉
