My Vietnam E -Visa Rejected, stuck in Chiang Mai Thailand

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Another awesome video brother. Unfortunately, speed bumps are part of life. Too bad about Hanoi and then only to get there to experience the typhoon with us. Gift and I enjoyed traveling with you both! See you in January.

Thanks brother see you guys in January!

Another wonderful video, I really liked the artwork, photos and seeing all those dishes, and places you two visited. Good idea taking cooking lessons, we all have to eat after all and besides, 'Real men take cooking lessons !' (Just don't tell your buddies :) ) Glad you did get that e-visa in the end. Thanks for the video JR and take care !

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

I enjoy cooking and don't care what anyone else thinks about it LOL Thanks Robert

I plan to travel to Da Nang later this month. This is great information on the Vietnam visa. It's those small details that bite you.

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

Yessir, be glad if it helps out anyone from making same mistake!

JR my brother greetings to you. I just wanted to share a similar story. My friend and I were traveling from MNL to Vietnam HCMC back in April. We both applied for the E-visa mine was approved his was denied. So we went to the Vietnam Consulate in MNL he reapplied they approved it in like 2 days but the cost was 4x the amount as it was online. They gave him no explanation why the E-visa was denied. I appreciate your sharing your video of this experience. Hopefully you can get it resolved. Again thanks for sharing and safe travels on your journeys 👍🏾👌🏾!

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

It was resolved but we missed out on 5 nights in Hanoi. But all good! Thanks 4 sharing, helps out people when they know there are issues with the system

[@PLATINUMSWORDS]

Massaman curry is how my first proper Thai GF hooked me...(apart from her elegance, beauty and style that is!), still my favorite Thai food.

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

Thanks 4 sharing!

Those were strong currents, I don't think an average swimmer could fight that for very long ! Did the Mexican place have any enchiladas, or chili rellenos ? I've given up on trying to find pork tamales ! Thanks for the video, too bad about the starving hoard at your nighttime lunch, it could have been relaxing .

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

Enchiladas yes, no chili rellenos, I haven't seen those outside of US or Mexico. Thanks John

those tacos looked good.

Best Mexican in Southeast Asia!

Great stuff JR and Mrs C, had heard about ur misfortune, just put it down to bad luck, think I prefer Chiang mai to Bangkok, not so hectic, loved the eating, by Jove Mrs C can put it away 😋👏🏾

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

Thanks Paul! Chiang Mai is great visit but flooding and burning season turns it into a no for retirement destination for me

[@MikeWood-yc1er]

Thanks JR, my take away is to exactly match your passport name on to your visa application, in spite of any improvised rational thought intervention.

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

Exactly Mike, hope it helps out anyone travelling there!

[@chubsDubC]

great vid buddy 😃👏 im surprised YT let you film cannabis shops and say marijuana 😮

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

Thanks, I think if you are not showing smoking or just concentrating on it as sole subject it is allowed

[@Walk-retirement-travel]

So many people get their e-visa denied in Vietnam. I won’t book a flight or a hotel until I have that thing

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

Ya I have finally learned my lesson LOL Also didn't realize you can obtain a pretty good amount of time ahead unlike other countries

[@ndyajeff]

Vietnam? I just saw this video about ostrich meat, will you make the sacrifice to and give it a try?

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

I have heard ostrich meat is pretty awesome, I would most definitely try it

[@dazdragon445]

Damnit ... You made me hungry!!

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

You're welcome!

[@ndyajeff]

There are worse places to be stuck.. Sorry about the double flight solution..

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

Thanks Jeff, ya 100% worse places to be stuck!

[@ourphilippinejourney]

Could be stuck in worse places, good luck

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

Thanks Mike, ya plenty of worse places to be stuck

I expected the elephant jaw to be bigger and more teeth. Cooking class looked pretty interesting..

It was decent size , may have been just a portion of a young elephant. Thanks Gunny
