all I will say is don't antagonise them they have more power than you think..get past it and smile .you will never have to see her for 5 years...lol. best over luck
What a nonsense..but I suppose it depends on which part of the visa you apply for ..IE remote work..but if it's any of the others ..liquid asset of 500k should surely be enough.
It's no big deal or any shock..but a quick weekend in Vietnam and come back in .but how can they police it anyway!!..you can just move money around and avoid it in any case!..
to be fair imagine that in Europe and you don't think they would all do it!..the way to look at it is you get your visa and you get what you need for a fraction of the price of any other visa..so your still on the winning side!..
