yeah you can even book a flight at 2am the next day and just go through immigration by 11:59pm, done that before to milk the last day 😅

Did you print it out? Or just add it to your TDAC and they didn’t ask to see the Visa. I’m in Phu Quoc too. It’s kind of hard to find a print place lol

Anonymous participant yeah you have to tell us where you’re applying from. For example Los Angeles consulate requires 17,000 USD for three months.

I didn’t think about a cover letter, but they just will request a motivation letter as they called it and follow up documents. I even only included one month bank statement statements by accident, but then they said send us six. Essentially it’ll just lower your chances of getting approved without additional document request.

Yeah, they don’t want you entering until the Visa is approved, but I had a friend who did that and it was fine. She had to spend ฿7000 on a border run to get her DTV stamp so maybe it’s worth just waiting a few more days?

You should’ve applied from Phu Quoc in Vietnam nice and sunny tropical island here 🙂

Sorry to rub it in, but I don’t think your intended date of travel will have any impact on the timeline

Does anyone have insight on difficulty in applying in Philippines vs Vietnam? Is there a seasoning requirement for the bank account in Philippines ? trying to decide between the two places

people are getting approved in Vietnam in 3 to 6 days often with no seasoning on the account
