UPDATE: I thought this group was to help and assist people with applying and advice. But it’s starting to be full of people who just comment negatively offering no advice or accusing people of wrong doing without evidence.

I came here to discuss my recent experience and suprised people have this much time on their hand’s. If you have nothing useful to say just keep it to yourself.

I’ve seen 3 rejected in Hanoi posts today & I was also rejected for an applicant I helped apply for Soft Power Hanoi

I had two recent success with Hanoi soft power & did nothing different other than applicants passport & bank being a different bank

Embassy havent told me why it was rejected & considering I had two approved I am struggling to spot the problem.

Any one else rejected in Hanoi this week?

Rejected in Kuala lumpur!

It's definitely not a good place for apply 😕

I wanted to share feedback from HCMC.

I decided not to apply for a DTV after reading posts here that it was getting more difficult, and instead applied for a 60day tourist visa which is supposed to take 5 business days to process.

Today (day 10) they sent 4 emails requesting:

1. Proof I was still in the city from the time I submitted my application. They specifically asked for a selfie with a time and date. I bought today’s newspaper and stood in the market and took the photo.

2. Flight bookings to Bangkok from HCM- I bought 2 flights- one for this week and one for next week.

3. Updated hotel invoice with today’s date showing where I was staying in HCM

4. Flight out of Bangkok at the end of my 60day visa.

Thought this may be helpful to anyone applying for any visa type in HCM.
