Search through previous posts. I am sure the info on how long the "Seeding" of money is required in Hanoi - as others mentioned all are different.

Congrats - enjoy the training!

My interpretation of that is it means that application is over. It do not know if it is a drop down option or free text entry but remember the people using this system and who programmed it are not native English speakers.

Anonymous participant The 500k is to show you can support yourself in reality. Sponsors could never be made to pay up for medical bills if they occurred. Income again is not a requirement officially but some Embassies again want to see some to see people can support themselves. Thailand sees a lot of unpaid medical bills each year. They were even considering a sort of tourist charge to cover them. It is really all about the visa holders being able to support them selves and also not to try and work illegally in jobs reserved for Thais.

Ashley Toner It seems to be luck of the draw. I know about guy who has done 3 vida exempt by land plus 3 extensions in a row. He does pay for the privilege. At least he did as it was Cambodian border and they charged 3500 for same day in and out. Border closed now. From the reports they are checking people are genuine tourists. The offshore workers I know questioned were let in bit told to get a tourist or other visa next time.

Nope. Not anything announced. They are being stricter on number of Visa Exempt entries back to back but that includes airports too. A few guys who do the month on month off work in Middle East and elsewhere been pulled recently and told to get visas

Not all Embassies accept sponsorship.

Sorry to hear that - it is a first I have seen ie approved then rejected.. You can only really contact the embassy you applied to. Hope it all works out for you.
