Sharing my DTV approval experience as contribution to this group which helped a lot.

Workation (remote worker), Russian nationality. Provided all necessary bunch of documents combined in one PDF for every section, every PDF started with cover letter explains what and where there.

Applied in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam on February 8th (Saturday).

On February 11th (Tuesday) was requested additional documents:

- Other request documents: Provide a company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements.

- Other request documents: Provide the salary slips for the past 6 months, please highlight them in your transaction records.

All documents were sent originally so at the same day I sent them again just in different order.

After that my application was on pending documents check status until yesterday, February 17th, it switched to pending approval.

Today, February 18th, the visa was approved. So after additional documents request it took 5 working days to issue the visa.
