Everything is done online, but it is handled by the embassy in your region. Sometimes the embassy might ask you to come for an interview, so you should be present where you apply.

very high humidity, it's generally very dirty, footpath obstacles everywhere, traffic is insane, people are constantly trying to sell you something or rip you off... lots of things. Some of the medications I take require a Rx here, whereas not so in Thailand. People seem friendlier overall in Thailand. Some people love Vietnam. I enjoyed the visit more when I was younger and on holiday and there are some positives. But I could never live here personally.

wow, that would drive me insane waiting that long. Just waiting a week had me itching for a number of reasons. I hope it gets approved soon. But if not, Hanoi is a good bet.

Anonymous participant 711 No place is perfect. If you like Vietnam, cool. It's not a good fit for me. All I know is TH is working out a hell of a lot better for me than the U.S. in its current f*ckery.

Anonymous participant 711 Hard disagree. I could never live here in Vietnam. Not my jam. Been itching to leave. But have to wait til Monday.

Thanks. Yeah, I have it on my phone for now. I need to find a place to print. My hotel doesn't seem to have that option. I already took care of the TDAC. Good reminder about the stamp.

combination of platforms and parent referrals. Dialect Zone (China), Ai English(China), KUG (Korea)...I signed up for Cambly a year ago and the application still says pending haha. The real money is in referrals though because you don't have to give up a percentage and can charge more. Get one good Chinese client and they will tell everyone they know.

It was after my classes so I think 9 or 10pm. I received approval just before 7pm Friday, which I wasn't expecting since it's after normal work hours. So, maybe you'll get a response by Monday night? 🤞🏽

yes. Most payments go to my Thai bank since I use it for daily life. I only showed 2 of the prepaid payments as an example.
