- as soon as immigration thinks you are no longer a tourist and instead trying to stay here as long as possible to live, they become strict. You have 60 days with the option to extend 30 days. That is

of a year. If you want to do a visa run, then you are trying to stay much longer. Maybe it is time to apply for a visa

- I think he was just telling you that in the future you can’t do that. Times are changing. He saw that you did it before and wanted to make sure you didn’t do it this time. Nothing nasty about it. They are pushing to get people of exemptions

That is a hard one. Not sure what you can do, since you have no idea why they rejected you and they most likely won’t tell you why.

- if it was a data mismatch issue, usually it would be a cancellation, not a rejection. Where were you when you applied and while waiting? In Hanoi? Did you check spam, etc to see if they asked for more documents?

not clear what you said happened. My passport shows given name and surname. What is listed in my passport under given name is both my first and middle names.

which embassy? Not many had evisa back then. I also applied in July, but it was paper based, in person.

What nationality? In US passports we only have two lines, given name and surname. Given Name line includes both first and middle names. This would line up with Name in the application. Does your passport break your first name out separate from middle names?
