Is it difficult to get visa approval in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) compared to other locations?
Approved in HCMC but warning, dont do it there unless you are ready for 2 rounds of additional documents included payslips from a decade ago and tranlated taxes from tranlation agencies. Do not recommend.

I remembered we applied at the same time last 2024 November I think. But I heard tons of stories right now HCMC consulate asked many non-sense additional documents and got rejected by so many people.

yeah I say time to stop recommensing ppl hcmc, everyone is going there and they are starting to tighten up, not surprises you got rejected and then approved in Manila. I somehow got it approved but final document count must have been 100+ pdf pages

Yep can’t recommend it either. HCMC rejected me after requesting a bunch of additional docs, Warsaw approved with same exact set of papers (just newer dates)

OPCleverRadish5177 yeah im still surprised they approved me, this application was beyond anything i expected, felt like they were looking so hard for some minnor mistake to not approve. Gladly I got pretty hardcore about it, final papers must have been like 100+ pdf pages combined all requests.
