got approved this afternoon. So pending approval since 5th, approved today 12th.

@Anon*****

Thanks! Since last Wednesday, the 5th.

I put my travel date as next Monday, which I think in hindsight was a big mistake. I haven't booked a flight and as soon as I get approval I will fly back same day or next. I was scared to put a sooner date, since I figured if it passes and I'm still not approved it's a problem..

Both Da Nang and Hoi An are some of the nicest places I've been in Asia. They're super nice, really cheap, great western and local food, people are really friendly, the nature is gorgeous, weather is better than Thailand.

If I hadn't spent 10 years learning to speak Thai I'd consider living here instead.

Wow I just got approved while writing this! What an amazing day!

@Tammi ****

they didn't ask me for those yet but I applied on the 3rd and still waiting. Hanoi seems much quicker at least judging from the posts in this group.

The upside is that I've been hanging out in Da Nang and Hoi An and they're really fantastic places to wait for approval.

Congrats on the visa!

Seems like Hanoi is generally quicker than Ho Chi Minh, judging from the posts I've seen here.

@Daehoon ****

submitted 3rd, additional documents 4th, still pending since 5th.

Thanks for sharing and congrats on the visa.

It seems from most reports that Hanoi is quicker than HCMC. I've been pending approval in HCMC for a full week now.

@Biff ******

that's fantastic news then. I will definitely be doing that. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

@Biff ******

are you certain about that? Da Nang might be a great option in that case

Glad to hear you say so, hopefully application will go smoothly. Thanks again for your advice.
