Hey there! If you’re in HCMC, Vietnam solo waiting for your DTV visa before heading back to Thailand and feel like hanging out, drop a comment and I’ll DM you. Would be great to meet up for coffee or dinner—just a small group, maybe 3–4 people. Cheers!

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam, is inviting fellow expats waiting for their DTV visa to connect over coffee or dinner. The interest in gathering is heightened by comments reflecting concerns about delays in visa applications and suggestions for similar meet-ups in Hanoi, as well as a humorous idea about holding a protest.

Anonymous participant 204 waiting in Hanoi too. The holiday was brutal hahah. Now the real business day countdown wait begins. And I have a dependent to apply for but now wondering since it’s a 14yr old. Should I just let them stay on visa free then figure it out again soon. Ready to go back. Love Hanoi and would stay here but paying two Rents is not it 😂😂
