Workcation - remote worker application through Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

I have been poring through posts from people who have applied through Vietnam as well as other countries and my question is:

1. if you have the documents, should you just submit them all?

ie - instead of providing the minimum and waiting for the request for additional documentation, just put everything into the pdf (paystubs, bank statements, resume, screenshots of remote work sample, etc etc if you have it)

Thoughts?

My 60 days are up next week. What's to do?

1. Wait for them to update the calendar tomorrow?

2. Go there without an appointment?

3. Don't even try, better go on a visa run?

Hey guys, I’m currently in Thailand and trying to figure out how to stay longer—around 3 months or more.

I’d like to avoid land border runs (I really don’t trust those mini-vans 😅), but I’m trying to plan things out properly.

Here’s my situation so far:

- June 2 to July 10, 2024: I stayed in Thailand earlier this year (used the 45-day visa exemption + 30-day extension).

- December 9, 2024, to February 7, 2025: I’m currently here again (planning to use the 60-day visa exemption + 30-day extension).

I'm from Portugal, Europe..if that matters.

In February 2025, I’m thinking about leaving by plane for a week, go to China for a few days, and then flying back to Thailand.

My goal is to get another visa exemption for another 2-3 months.

I know it’s ultimately up to the immigration officer, but how strict are they considering the days I spent here the last year?

Would this work, or should I look into another solution?

I’m planning to get an DTV/ED in June 2025, so I just need to figure out how to handle my stays until then.

Thanks for any tips or experience you can share!

Has anyone got any tips for getting through to the London Embassy?

There are two extention numbers, however it would seem that they keep you with hold music for 10 minutes then cut uou off???

Thank you.

Do you have to make an appointment to get a new driving licence on samui, or just turn up?
