approved earlier this month in Hanoi. Took 4 working days including, a request for further documents.( Put paper work through Sunday night and was approved Thursday afternoon) Had a legitimate Hotel booking and return flight to Thailand indicating stay in Vietnam would be 14 days. As soon as the approval came I rescheduled the flight and cancelled remainder of hotel accommodation and left Vietnam the following day.
