Personally I have not, but I have read here and heard from Agents as well that places like the Philippines only require you to hold the balance one month or just have it in the account at the time you apply

true money actually works? I could never get it to work for me

Anonymous participant go to Laos and reapply.

Hanoi rejected me last week. I’ve saw people getting approved in decent time in HCM. Seems that HCM and Hanoi have switched roles in the past I was told to go to Hanoi over HCM.

Ant W Tailor that’s pretty much my same reason. It’s hard to beat the infrastructure of Thailand compared to the other countries you could move to.

Octo Adven ABSOLUTELY agree. I love the mountains and outdoors, I think Vietnam wins there BUT as you mentioned overall it’s a fewer levels lower than Thailand on the other things that wouldn’t make it hard to live here just a bit more navigating you’d need to do.

The visa situation to me is actually better in Vietnam just doing border runs compared to all the changes in Thailand all the time.

Peter Jillen my agent also said have the $400 USD in Thai baht before I arrive because it’ll be difficult once there

Peter Jillen how long ago did you apply from Laos? I’m headed there this week. I got rejected in Hanoi.

I remember the ED Visa revokes, I made sure to go to a reputable school and actually attend and not miss a day of class. Unfortunately yes, others like myself are probably caught up in some of the fallout.

No, they said they will Re Apply in Laos for me no charge since I already paid the fee once to them.
