RE: The expat visa saga continues in Vietnam. I guess it is improving slightly

You mentioned that things were rather slow and tedious and hope at some point you can get fixed up. it is strange that you have to leave the country in order to get a new visa and surely paying a waiver fee or tax would be better for everyone. Bureaucracy and wasted opportunities to gain more income.

I'm not aware of any country in the world that legally offers the "pay to stay" visa and really can't understand why they wouldn't implement this especially in poorer countries like this one.

The process is excruciatingly slow in every country I have ever tried to get a visa in. I often wonder what they are doing back there. I guess I complain too much because while I sit here bitching about visas and how they won't just give me another one a vast majority of the population of this country would stand exactly 0% chance of even getting a visa to USA at all.
