For some of us, we found a guy 🙂. I would consider that as part of falling in love with the country 🎉

Non residents are not able to apply via Hong Kong, so it really isn’t an option for most people. Laos requires you to apply online, but then you have to pay in person. They are also more likely to call you in for an interview. Cambodia, tends to be easy when it comes to paperwork, but takes 11 buisness days to process. Malaysia seems to request a lot of random documents. From previous posts, Vietnam, Jakarta, Philippines and Taiwan (not seeing many people mention Taiwan now) were quickest with little issues. That being said, it seems like Vietnam is now requesting payslips even for people applying under soft power

Since Georgia doesn’t have its own Thai embassy, individuals physically present in Georgia are supposed to apply via the embassy in Ankara. So he is technically currently within the embassy’s physical jurisdiction, so there is added risk if he leaves.

You should apply for a 30 day visa and not a 7 day exemption

Sounds concerning.

2024 taxes are due in April. 2023 were due last year. You might be able to submit 2022 and 2023

- one of the main issues is when you upload your bio page from your passport, it will autofill the associated cells with the data that it reads, even overwriting information you already entered into those cells. It has been mentioned by many people that this auto fill process has entered incorrect data. Other main issues for cancellation are applying to the wrong embassy. For example, if your friend is in southern Vietnam and applied via Hanoi, they would cancel. The third issue that has popped up is what you enter for where passport was issued. Many people received new passports while outside their country and therefore the passport shows that your passport was issued at your country’s embassy in that specific foreign country. If you enter this and not your passport country, they will cancel,

A cancelation means you entered something incorrectly via the online portal. They didn’t even get to the stage of looking over documents or asking for additional documents.

No, you apply via Cambodia. It asks you where you are physically located. For evidence that you are in Cambodia, you upload your Cambodia entry stamp that Cambodian immigration stamps into your passport. Be forewarned, Cambodia takes 11 business days though

Not sure how to make it clearer, as it has happened so many times
