Hi there,
A couple of months ago I applied for a tourist visa in Ho Chi Minh (my ED Visa papers weren't ready yet) and it was denied. Although I submitted all the required documents they were under no obligation to tell me why and I respect that.
My language school got panicky after that because obviously there was a double void stamp in my passport and there seemed to be confusion on their end as to where to send me next.
Because I had a tourist visa before that from KL and because of the recent crackdowns on back-to-back Tourist Visas, I have decided to err on the side of caution and go back home to Australia for a while. I fly out in November.
My question is, how long should I wait before applying again with my ED Visa papers at my home consulate?
Does that double void stamp from HCM mean I am somehow "red flagged" now?
Thanks in advance 🙏
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user experienced a tourist visa denial in Ho Chi Minh City and is concerned about the implications of a double void stamp in their passport. They plan to return to Australia and are seeking advice on how long they should wait before applying for an ED Visa with the appropriate documents and whether the double void stamp indicates a "red flag" status that might affect future applications.
