I once tried to get the airport to stamp me in Visa Exempt when I was on an O with multi re-entry. They just laughed.

If you mean submit a tax return I was told I only needed to do one if I had assessible income for they year. I am tax resident in Thailand with a TIN. I had no assessible income in 2024 so no need for a tax return. I brought no money in from outside Thailand.

They are reports of shorter courses being rejected or given a METV. You could do a one-month course on a visa-exempt ;-)

It is not required to have a local bank account in order to pay taxes. They accept cash 🙂 🙂

Did the school indicate which embassies have been successful with this course and timing for applicants?

Have a search of posts. There have people been rejected for courses too short. Certain Embassies have also issued a METV instead of DTV due to course length.

Depending on circumstances it can take 10 to 15 working days. It can be quicker but yiu should make allowances for the longer times. As for Visas I would advise looking in the Vietnam Visa Facebook groups. Agents post in there and can offer advice depending on passport held.
