I sent a driving licence and it got approved. I agree that I would not have taken the risk of coming in before the approval but nothing seems to stop him from entering as a tourist and doing another border run once the DTV is approved. I bet that they will come up with stricter rule soon, this visa is very new.
It does not state that you have to stay. Most of us westerners are visa exempt and we are not required to present anything as a tourist. It may be safer to stay but not mandatory. You can still go there as a tourist. Let's see what that fellow story is when he gets back in.
It does not say that you are required to stay in that country after you applied. If there is a requirement, send me the documentation that proves it and you will have my apology.
Hey anonymous. Be careful listening to that uneducated guy. Proof of income has been required by some embassy like Singapore. If they ask you for bank statement, it means that they want to see all the transactions and possibly look at income coming in. You can try with no risk to only send the balance and worst case scenario, they will ask for the transactions but do not listen to guys that take short cut and have never fully immigrated to any country.
Ask AI to read my text as you seem to have some real issues understanding what I am saying. You have probably never immigrated to any countries so you would not understand the complexity of it anyway.
