ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to apply for the Soft Power DTV program.

My situation is that I’ll be applying for the first time in Vietnam, and in case of a rejection, I’m considering reapplying from a different country (the Philippines).

Does anyone have experience with a similar situation or know if this is possible? Any info or insights would be really appreciated.

Is it easier to apply for the Soft Power DTV in Hanoi compared to HCMC, and can Laos be a viable option?

Why are there a growing number of visa application rejections in Hanoi, particularly for the Soft Power Program?
