Considering all the requirements checked ☑️ and all documents sorted, which embassy should I apply from, for a smoother and faster approval chance ? Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City ?

The online DTV application auto prompts to the respective embassy or consulate of the country/city you are applying from.

As you already decided and checked the documents it is just sending you an e-mail with approval of the visa.

Which Embassy does not matter, OR ....

but it's well documented some embassies have higher rates of approval than others. It's a valid question.

Anonymous participant 670 Some Embassies have a higher rate of applicants who are NOT able to meet the requirements.

the same person with the same documents denied at Vietnam gets approved in Laos and vice versa

Do you even comprehend English?

If I get get denied with my document and I use same documents and get approved somewhere Else

Yo a 6y old would get what I say

Actually half the forum asks about it all the time …

If they get rejected they ask where should they go try again

Again with what? New magical papers?

It’s Like talking to a wall

According to this anyone buying a 12m cooking class and shows bank balance is good to go

1 cooking class stops after 1y

What about the other 4y?

2 no income proof so he will live 5y of some savings?

???????????????

Your point that you are able to copy and paste?

Your claim was "then why some get rejected and approved with same exact documents"

I asked how do you know, did you check applications inside the Embassy?

@Robert ******

you don’t even understand what I’m saying

How many people apply and get rejected and to fly 1 week later to other country with the same documents and get approved …

20% On this page …

So what does that say?

That it depends on who is judging the documents

Since documents not magically different a week later

Same proof but one says nah not good

An other one looking at it 1 week later says yes sure here you go buddy 5y visa

BUT you checked and both applied at the same Embassy with exact the same documents?

Yep, one was wrong by using documents of the other.

SImple logic and common sense.

@Robert ******

for example the Dutch guy who bought 12m Cooking class and didn’t have to show proof of income no interview nothing

Gets approved …

Meanwhile some have to go interview prove 10x more for same visa

I called him myself to ask information since I’m Dutch too and curious how that’s possible even.

So yeah it doesn’t only matter where but also who is doing the approval.

Like a game

Try to follow this page.

Some CEO of big companies seems to be unable to type their name or birthday.

BUT I love the fact that you claim to have inside information and fact checked each and every application inside the Thai Embassy.

Thanks day dreamer.

then why some get rejected and approved with same exact documents

Sherlock

Because embassies do what they want

If the officer has a bad day he rejects

If he had some good changs he approves
