My protracted visa run issue is already known here. However, I just had a nasty experience at the Indian consulate in Ho Chi Minh City. Here is the entire story: On Friday, I went to the Indian consulate in HCMC to apply for one month tourist ...

@OceanBeach92107Everything I wrote is 100% factual, I didn’t add or remove anything. I used the agent because my intention was to visit India, so I can reapply for entry back into Vietnam. I have never had any issue with immigration either in ... Read More

@Aidan in HCMCThanks for your help. Yes, it’s ridiculous but all the same, I will try some other options like reaching out directly to their embassy/consulate. Do they have one in HCMC? Nevertheless, I’m beginning to seriously consider ... Read More

So, I have the following countries to select from; Laos, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. I don’t know if Laos allows for border run via land. As for other countries, I don’t know which one will offer the best value for ... Read More

Update!I think going through Cambodia is no longer an option for me. For whatever weird reason, I couldn’t find my country on the drop-down list, in the box you fill your nationality. It’s really a pity because I really wanted to visit ... Read More
