ORIGINAL POSTER
I've noticed that more and more people are getting rejected for soft powers in vietnam while my facebook page is getting flooded of sponsored pages that for 40-90k they offer a dtv all inclusive. All they claimed you need to do is to go to vietnam and take a pics of your entry stamp. I'm not talking about a single page, but dozens of sponsored pages offering the same. Are those scams?

Scams copy other scams. In South East Asia, scams are more common than cockroaches. And we have a ton of cockroaches here.

Be careful - there are scams about. I used Siam Legal and it was all above board and processed within 3.5 days of applying.

Issa compass costs like an extra 150 bucks and they will refund you including your visa fees if you don’t get it. (Did my DTV in Vietnam with them, was a breeze).

40-90k Thai baht is wild.

What seems too good to be true…

I digress; apply yourself. You don’t need an agency

I mean if you don't have the means required for the DTV like 500K baht and the remote work documents or appointments with relevant school or hospital, and just wanna take the easy way and tricking the system, I think y'all deserved to get scammed.
