Anonymous participant 166 Ok, good you got most of your money back. Apply yourself in Cambodia or Laos. Cambodia can take a month though.

Anonymous participant 166 I hope you did not pay a lot of money to an agent. Does the agent know why.? Are you still in Vietnam ? Which countries are you able to easily go to?

@Guillermo ********
Yeah, more restrictions will come into play for sure especially with Softpower. The visa is cheap but the country gets significant income as DTVERS are spending on rent, food, travel, etc.

@Guillermo ********
Yeah, small details count such as not seeking local employment etc. Approvals are given for recent deposits of the 500k, and some of the rejections have had the 500k seasoned for 3+ months. It would be helpful if the embassy gave an exact reason for rejection so applicants can avoid the same mistake next time.

Yes, a solid application is key. Maybe as Vietnam seems to be the most popular spot to apply, understandably we are seeing the most rejections from there.

🎉 Congrats. Quick approval, many waiting much longer in Vietnam.

Anonymous participant 166 Ok, well try somewhere else like Jakarta. Did you apply for Softpower?

Yes, there are DTVERS outside of Thailand whose Bangkok Bank accounts are frozen. You need to go in person to sort it out.
