not before long ago, you could only apply for the METV in your home country of residence . . . . .Now since a year, we have received reports that the embassies and consulates in Laos and Vietnam are accepting applications from Non-residents

Michael Whiting Penang, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur accepting METV applications from Non-residents? That would be something new. AFAIK only possible in Vientiane and Hanoi
