Dutch Expat 'Blacklisted' from Vietnam After 13 Years, So Stuck in Cambodia in the Meantime
Re: Dutch Expat 'Blacklisted' from Vietnam After 13 Years, So Stuck in Cambodia in the Meantime
So true. Almost everyone lives on 3-month visas. Largely because it's a cheaper route. The 6-month and 12-month (business) visas are either not being given out or are outrageously expensive. The temp residence card is running $1600US for a 2-year this year. Was $980 last fall, double what it was earlier in 2018.hanno wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 1:01 pmVery and I am thinking that there is a little more to the story.... If they blacklisted everyone doing visa runs, there would be no English teachers left.RickyBobby wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 12:31 pmBeing blacklisted with no warning or explanation is a bit harsh?

Which begs the question - why the fuck are they doing this? Do they only want short term visitors who will (hopefully) spend more dough on a shorter stay and fuck the English teachers (along with many others)?

I dont know, but part of the problem is they think Westerns are all very wealthy, so they can charge them ridiculous amounts of money.johnny lightning wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 3:40 pm Which begs the question - why the fuck are they doing this?

It's probably because they can and can make money doing so. It's the same reason the 1 year tourist visa for Americans doesn't readily state you have to leave the country every 3 months to keep your visa valid, so when you inevitably overstay your visa, you get blacklisted and fleeced for a few thousand dollars in order to be let back into the country.johnny lightning wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 3:40 pm Which begs the question - why the fuck are they doing this?

Never had an issue as I have always had a resident card when working in Vietnam. Easy-peasy.JerryCan wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 5:33 pmIt's probably because they can and can make money doing so.
