@John ******
on this particular issue I’d suggest a recent transfer will not be sufficient. I applied less than a month ago in Vietnam and as you can only upload a single doc I initially only uploaded my most recent bank statement.

They almost immediately requested additional docs, including 6 months bank statements.

there is definitely no such thing as a "logical rule", mate. There are only rules. I have applied for multiple e-visas this year while travelling without any problem or requirement to be in the country for the entire application process because that simply isn't required.

requirements vary significantly from country to country, hence my question. Dutch requirements have no bearing on those in VN. You can’t apply in SG unless you’re a Singaporean resident for example.

Absolutely nowhere in the process does VN tell you you need to be in the country for the entirely of the application or until it is issued, only “when you apply”.

Aye, the Thai Consulate can check if I’m in Thailand but don’t have access to any other immigration databases.

Thanks Bob. Looking like the best option to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth.

It literally isn't. It's written in many places that you need to be in a particular place when you apply, and I'm asking if it's worth confirming that I was there when I applied but am no longer. It's a reasonable question given the information on this group indicating that people are traveling before their visas have been issued meaning they are - wait for it - not staying in the country during the application process.

Not sure where you've decided I was "faking" anything, but appreciate your deeply limited insight. Love to the family.

I'm not entirely sure myself.

To be clear: I was in Vietnam. I can prove I was in Vietnam. But I am no longer in Vietnam. Unfortunately I wasn't aware that I needed David's permission to leave, and then asked for advice on a FB group offering... advice.

Thanks for your input David.

Should probably start by deciding whether you want to live in your wife or your girlfriend’s house.

Police check in Chiang Mai takes 15 working days if the sign on the wall is to be believed.
