Good luck - hope it goes well.

If they find out you have left Vietnam there is a high chance they will cancel your application. Have a search through the group for this. The condition is you remain in Vietnam while your application is processed.

For the majority of Embassies it is 3 months of seeding but there are some, like the UK who do not need this. They issue as long as the money in the account. Hanoi has been known not to always require the 3 months seeding. Have a search through the group. It is embassy dependent but most require the seeding.

Do not overthink it. The Embassy you are applying to will not be looking at your Ed Visa time and checking any corresponding tax records. They have no ability to do it and frankly, are not interested. Just apply and get on with it. There are dozens if not hundreds in your situation and are here on DTV. Good luck

If they find out it is very well possible they cancel your application and you lose your fee.

My pal had to take their English test for a visa and they charged him a fortune. The alternative was going back to home country to get documentation from Uni. His undergrad and Masters were taught in English. He worked for a British company in Singapore for 10 years where the everyday language was English. It was easier and less hassle just to pay for the English test.

I know exactly what they are. I have dealt with them. My best pal who is a Senior Diplomat has some choice words about their services lol. That is all I can say :-)

I think it comes down to the interpretation of "Resident". Is it VFS who decides (I can say a lot about that mob but will not here lol)

@Tammi ****

There have been mixed reports on this. It would be good to know for certain. It might be the passport of the holder that counts too.
