I can help everyone with qualified conditions for free. Just pm me. Also, can help you out even if you are not qualified in job condition or financial proof, or if you think courses for soft power are expensive or not worth it.

airlines check your visa and sometimes return flight only to check your eligibility to enter a country.

For the portfolio, just put everything that makes your portfolio complete, even some design project of yours. For arranging documents, you will see there's no extra slot for a separate document. You'll have to arrange your docs under same category and merge into a single document.

It won't make much difference. Instead, try preparing proof for alternative sources of income such as PayPal or Western Union payslips for at least 3 months.

Anonymous participant I suggest applying under remote job category, the only category having like 'complete set of documents' and doesn't seem odd to officers. I mean, if u work at an embassy, do you believe when an applicant says he wanna learn mway thai or some thai course for multiple years? of coz, not. And for freelancers, it's hard to present the nature of job and the income source the way officers could understand. You can buy a whole set of remote job profile including payslips at lesser than half the cost of soft power courses.

@Rosslyn *******

totally embassy requirement, for example, as for current, Laos embassy checks mainly your bank statement, pay slips while Vietnam embassy, your employment or job status. U have to choose the location accordingly if u think u have weakness in ur docs.

@MD **************

usually, they don't

It varies, can last from 1 to 7 working days. Mostly, it takes 2-3 working days.

u can stay anywhere in the country during the process, u'll need to go to the embassy in person only if u are requested to be interviewed

You can combine two statements files and present them both. It's fine as long as they're both under your name.
