Photo amendment on Tourist Visa Application!

Hello Guys,I just received an Amendment on my photo(79% similarity), I'd like to how much similarity is needed to satisfy photo requirement!? - @giscivil92

Reports from member's are that a 75% match warrants approval.

My prediction? You can expect several more requests for amendments/corrections.

I had written to you earlier (Link, post #12)...

"...continued denials/amendment-requests from immigration will suggest to us that the applicant has encountered an impediment to their receiving an eVisa approval. At that point our options/advice to the applicant will have been exhausted. Members are encouraged to continue with their own efforts to receive approval (time permitting), but the reality might be that it will result only in effort wasted.

It may well be in the best interest of people from these regions/countries to consider employing the services of a proven, reliable and trustworthy Vietnam visa agent."

Have you read all of the links included in that post? My reply to your Iranian compatriot would be of particular interest to you, wherein I had written (Link, post #665)...

"The information you've supplied is correct. The issue is not the information, but is rather your Iranian citizenship. This is VN immigration scrutinizing your application.

Tell us, please, how many denials you have received to date. Also, when is your expected arrival date?"

Some members, facing similar difficulties as you, had applied/amended/resubmitted their application up to 12 times(!) before finally receiving their eVisa. The timeline for approval for those members was, from start to finish, ~8 weeks (2 months).

Certainly, you can resubmit a new picture of yourself but, as stated, I'm predicting that you will receive another request for correction/amendment, and then so on, and so on, and...

Did you call the visa agency we recommended?

I messaged a visa agency which was mentioned here, if  I'm not mistaken they're Indian.

Before they said we can but now they said not possible!

Personally, after much investigation the visa is still issued for Iranian but apparently through the tour! not stopped

And direct flight is gonna be available next month, what i heard from a tour agency!

I read the mentioned post but my amendment is different related to photo and birth place!

Did you call the visa agency we recommended?

Which one!? could you please send it again, my apologies!

For further assurance, finally I got an account balance letter from my payroll bank to upload.

I really appreciate your kind and informative guidance! Hopefully god keep you safe and sound!💓

No, they are Vietnamese.

That's quite possibly true, but from what I've heard you will be required to book a stay with the tour company and be essentially chaperoned by the tour operator while here. I don't have a lot of experience with the subject of group tours, so I'm open to being corrected.

No sir, you're missing the point. What you, your Iranian compatriot forum member, and many hundreds of others we've helped are experiencing is the same issue, i.e. Vietnam immigration's repeated requests for corrections/amendments to applications which have been completed/submitted absolutely correctly.

There is no formally stated ban on travellers from any regions or countries, but this appears instead to be immigration's way of either testing an applicants resolve, or a way to discourage the applicant from visiting. This is just my personal opinion (formed by years of experience in these matters).

For what purpose? It is not required when applying for a tourist eVisa.

Thank you, and you're very welcome.

I suggest you reach out to the visa agency for further guidance on this, and that you follow up with your potential Vietnam employer for an update on their progress. The entire work permit issue is solely the employers responsibility. Don't get roped into working here on the promise from an employer that your work permit will be "here soon". We've seen a lot of that as well.

Yep I perfectly understand what you mean, the immigration office make a ridiculous excuse to discourage the applicant and making them disappointed which i already mentioned, Illegal rejection! (Cambodia is currently the same but based on proven evidence the most developed countries the US and Germany and China (notably chinese) are condemned to scam and... in Cambodia ) so it properly indicate that the economy and region might not good evidence and assumption to judge! sorry I have a lot of proven evidence against immigration office that's why they always refuse to explain😁! corruption, corruption and corruption!

For preventing them from making more excuse! no choice😥

Thanks, let's see what will happen next step.

Eventually, I really appreciate your helpful and insightful experiences to share, nobody share them free and easily!

I'm sure you will see the blessing of people prayers in your personal life ahead! hopefully
