I've been having some challenges this week applying for the DTV in Ho Chi Minh City.

Yesterday they asked for "Provide passport FULL BOOK including EMPTY PAGES." So I took a picture of every single page in my passport, and uploaded them one by one (since the site doesn't allow multiple uploads. Today they respond: "Read our request CAREFULLY before submit. Provide passport FULL BOOK from page 1 to 52. If no, your visa application will be REJECT." No information on what was wrong / missing.

Yesterday they asked for "Provide your CV/ Portfolio." Well I'm a software engineer and I mostly work on backend projects which are hard to put into a portfolio. So I uploaded my Resume detailing my 25 years of industry experience as well as a public presentations I've given, screenshots from applications I'm working on, and a patent application (with my name on in) from a previous employer years ago. Today they respond with: "Provide "YOUR" CV/ portfolio. If no, your visa application will be REJECT."

Has anyone experienced something similar? It sounds like I only get one more shot at this before they reject my application.

Everything that is wrong in Thailand in one picture.

Want to apply for a visa in the RTE Berlin. Sure. BUT:

-> In person only.

-> By appointment only.

-> All appointments fully booked until 22 December 2021.

I am so sick of this inefficient, slow over-bureaucratic crap! Common people desperately wait for return of foreign spenders. But civil servants cannot even be bothered to issue visa. 🤬

MTT is a mess. Best of luck to everyone
