So this is your contribution Wayne ?

You come into this group to be argumentive, Based on your interaction with me so far I doubt you will be getting a " group expert " badge soon.

Cheer up anyway, Santa might bring you some " likes " for your comments tonight.

@Wayne ******

What if anything constructive have you contributed to this page Wayne ?

An attempt at wit doesn't really help anyone here with their questions.

Perhaps you are in the wrong group ?

I have used Yangon in the past to get other non immigrants visas. I was a novelty there. Friendly staff because there is usually a line outside the embassy gate of 100+ locals, I always got ushered in first. However if you need additional documents its tough to get them from there as internet can be bad ...

This is the information that is most useful to me as I can do the 3 months but not the 6 months and would beed relatively current info before ai submitted my application.

Anywhere else close to Thailand Andi, I think Hanoi must be swamped these days and am considering some out of the way options like Sri Lanka, Yangon but there is not much feedback in these places.

Just trying to make things better and easier to navigate for everyone Robert.

@Klint *****

I am currently shopping around for a embassy that is not too difficult based on people's experiences.

I think most people rightly use the anonymous posting option when dealing with immigration issues and questions.

Thats a ridiculous suggestion , this page is predominantly Take Take Take when it comes to information and after people get their visas they disappear.

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone who got useful assistance here came back after getting or not getting their DTV and submitted the answers to a few simple questions based on their experience.

One word answers, example :

Embassy : Hanoi

DTV type : Soft power

Approval time : 8 days

Interview: No

Extra Documents asked for : ....

Bank Seasoning : 3 months

Additional Comments :

Yikes !!

So much negativity here.

I was purely suggesting that there is one condenced list that is updated monthly ( for example ) based in people's reports.

Yes things and requirements change, but if this page had a condensed lust if requirements based on each of the popular embassies that would make it simpler and save people asking the same question over and over again.

Keep posting these useful replies and soon you will be a group expert
