Agree. Need agent to use contacts to check immigration system for any notes etc

Anonymous participant Get the refund and try another school or route. If refused by 2 different embassies there is something up. You might also ask an agent with good immigration contacts to check there is no note on your record.

Vietnam has been known to ask you prove you are still in the country and ask for passport copies to ascertain travel and location and a "Proof of Life" receipt with date and time. Just be aware of these small risks and make an informed choice.

I do not think anyone is trying to lure people into the elite type visa. Absolutely no evidence of anyone in here promoting them. Not a single post. The demographic in this group are not the same target market.

Anonymous participant 956 I am not so pessimistic. They are desperate for higher visitor numbers right now. I think it might be changed though and if anything the Soft Power category. Not eliminated but just ensure the visa runs alongside the courses etc.

Looks like the suspended PM wants to boost Soft Power in her new role as Culture Secretary

Yeah they are going to be pretty sure you are going to be accepted before they offer any guarantees lol My personal view is if you are a risk averse applicant 300-400 USD Fee to an agent is fine with the refund option. When they start asking 75K THB up there is something going on.
