Anonymous participant 534 I agree that its annoying but its a process that the government has clear instructions on when applying.
I got approved first try in HCMC because had a tab with the official rules and i also saved a bunch of posts related to my type of DTV and had it open.
It took me about an hour to submit (i triple checked and had a friend proofread it specifically so i didn’t have to re-pay the app fee)
