Everyone's situation is completely different and all embassies have a list of requirements on their website. You can search the group to see other people's experiences at individual embassies but their situation is different than yours. Doing your own research will give you much better answers.

ah good to know, I will make sure my resume is up to date.

You're fine in my opinion. Remember the embassy is separate from immigration. They are not concerned with your past visas. Just remember yo cancel your Ed visa before applying for the DTV. You can send me a PM if you want.

@Danny ******

Yes, however, in Vietnam, the turnaround time is just 2 days so my plan is to really just go to Vietnam for 4-5 days to be safe. The wording on the website got me a bit worried. Let me know if they accepted the VIPkid contract!

@Danny ******

Oh wow! Great stuff. I currently live in Thailand and I have a contract with them but I mainly recruit a bit with them, teach my own students and sell digital courses and products to teachers through YT.

Well it wasn't clear about the form part in the video. In the video you said they ask for a visa form and photograph. Understood. But on their website it says that the form needs to be submitted 2 weeks prior. That's why I am asking you what you did specifically. Never mind, I think we are going around in circles. Thanks for your time.

@Anique ******

Correct, but you didn't submit the application 2 weeks prior to your travel time right?

If I go to the embassy in HCMC, and intend to fly out after the 2 days it takes to receive it, that is not 2 weeks. So my question is do you need to submit the application 2 week before ? Sounds like you just submitted it at the embassy in person which is a bit conflicting to their messaging. Just wanted to be sure I could show up to my appointment and fil in the form there.

Guarantor for what? I've never heard of this being a requirement.

@Andrew ******

Embassies and Immigraiton are separate. Just because an embassy gives you a visa doesn't mean you are allowed to have 2. The rule is the rule and unfortunately it might catch up to the individual that didn't cancel his visa prior to getting the DTV. If you are taking advice from some random in a facebook group instead of researching the rules then I can't help you. It's like saying "well he was able to steal the clothes from that shop and he got away with it, so I will too".

@Anique ******

Thanks! Yeah so on their website it says this (see below). So it made me think that the form needed to be filled in and sent prior to the appointment. What you're saying is that you just made an appointment and showed up and filled in the form, correct ?
