Did you get approved yet? See someone in HCMC approval stage since 14th got approved today

@Mike ***

It will be 'interesting' to see, rules actually state you should be in country at time of application but its generally recommended you stay in case get called for interview (which HCMC never seem to do anyway) but latter is not a rule, unlike former

And considering some embassys in west can take months, would be kind of crazy to demand people cannot travel anywhere for that long just because some embassys are slow

If i go beyond next Wendsday/Thursday we will see, messed up on my Vietnamese visa and only asked for 3 weeks thinking would be more than enough, and due to the slow processing of new visas (no exempt for me) on their side a visa run is not doable for me, so will be waiting it out in Malaysia.

So if my visa gets approved after then, when they can clearly see I could no longer be in Vietnam, we will know.

@Finn ******

Would be interesting to see if that gets anyone anywhere with amount of people who seem to be same boat. Been pending since 15th here (orginal app 8th), if they have not caught up to 8th going to start worrying about my Vietnamese visa expiring soon
