UPDATE: Today, 18 Feb 5.12PM My visa got approved!! Goodluck everyone! As promised I’ll make a detailed video on all the docs I submitted which would help self employed freelancers like me!

Abit worried about my DTV status for softpower, muay thai, applied in HCMC.

Feb 10 5.30pm - submitted

Feb 13 12pm - additional documents requested ( 6 months statement and proof of income) I’m a freelance graphics designer and am worried they think im sus for applying via softpower, but i did provide proof of income with invoices attached and my portfolio, indicating i want to learn muay thai during my free time whilst working my job.

Feb 13 11pm - submitted additional documents requested

Feb 18 today - still pending document check…

Is this normal for it to take so long? Losing hope… been seeing people get moved to pending approval within like 3 working days…

Applied in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) on the 10th for softpower muay thai, I have 6months course 2x per week.

Today (3days later) they ask for complementary information

-proof of mensual income

I'm a bit surprised that this is being asked after yi showed 6months of bank statement and i'm applying for soft power.

Has anyone had the case?

Do has any one figured out the actual difference between the Workcation and Softpower versions AFTER getting the visa? Usually people here are showing a Muay Thai course for 6 months but what about after a year? Are they going to want you to continue Muay Thai or something for 5 years? Will they want business owners to prove they still run that business or are still employed?
