that’s what I’ve decided to do. I’ll never know if I don’t try.

What my friend who translated the writing said is that if I can get a new tourist visa in Laos that doesn’t have any writing on it, they can then help me to get a non-immigrant b without having to go back to SA. I guess I’ll have a definitive answer for everyone by the 19Th of next month.

I think the problem is that too many South Africans have come here on tourist visas and ended up working here. I intend to apply for a non-immigrant b visa once I have all the necessary paperwork, but I’m pretty sure they’re going to send me back to South Africa to do that.

Ive been here 2 months, how could I possibly know anyone in immigration? 🤣🤣

For some reason the consulate in South Africa is not writing on ALL visas issued there, and the writing is basically instructing other consulates to send us back to South Africa.

Worst case scenario, I have 2 visa exemption land entries allowed this year, and with extending at Promenada I could buy myself 120 days to see if anything changes for the better.
