I have to file my first 90 day report after my last trip to Vietnam in August. My online filing was denied because it needs to be done in-person. I don't feel like going to the immigration office, so I reached out to a visa center who will do it. They are telling me they do not need my passport and they can do it by me sending in photos of my passport. Is this accurate? The last time I went through the Visa office, they needed to take my passport for a few days while they submitted my report.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the necessity of physically presenting their passport for a 90-day immigration report following their trip to Vietnam. They received conflicting information from a visa center, which claims that sending photos of the passport is sufficient. Comments from other users indicate that while it's usually not necessary to submit a physical passport for this report, it can often be completed quickly in person at the immigration office. There are also suggestions to avoid using services from agencies, which may charge fees, and instead take advantage of the free process.
