Hi everyone! I am a Canadian citizen who left 9 years ago, my last residency was in Kenya (restricted country for DTV), but now I am back in Southeast Asia :) I want to go to Vietnam to apply for my DTV Soft Power, but I am wondering which 2nd address should I put: my parents' /permanent (back-drop) address in Canada OR my (last residency) address in Kenya ? What type of proof (will they ask for ''bills'') for that 2nd address? Can a bank statement showing your home address (e.g. Kenya bank account slip with address in-country) works as a ''bill'' / proof ? Thanks for your help!!!!
Summary so far
A Canadian citizen, who has been living in Kenya, seeks advice on which address to use when applying for a DTV Soft Power visa in Vietnam. They are uncertain whether to put their permanent address in Canada or their last residency in Kenya and inquire about acceptable proof of this address, such as bank statements.

Who told you Kenya is "restricted"? Why would Kenya be a "restricted country for DTV" if Nigeria (and many other African countries) aren't? I'm African, by the way, and so far I'm not aware of any "restrictions" on us. Got mine in Abuja (Nigeria) but my permanent address is in Ghana. A Nigerian couple also posted about their success here about 2 weeks ago.
