    And how exactly can you or anyone prove what the money paid by the agent is for ? you cannot, no one can categorically state it was for that action.

    Impossible to prove and your argument is flawed.

    It cannot be proved but still illegal. If it were legal there would be no need of visa agent go betweens and you could just go up to the counter explain you do not have the funds but are willing to pay for them to ignore it, you would be shown the door if you tried it because it IS illegal.

    Except that the senior officer who signs the visa stamp has the legal authority and discretionary power to issue a visa without ANY financial proof if he deems appropriate.

    That is where all this talk falls apart. It is NOT therefore illegal.

    Not illegal EXCEPT if they are taking money to do it, which is always the case. Can anyone tell of a case otherwise?

    Whose being "bribed" no one is forcing/intimidating or coercing anyone to do anything, the officer is charging for a service, that does not constitute a bribe. Whether or not his actions are legal in doing so is another issue and one for immigration to address.

    Of course it's a bribe and a corrupt illegal payment. While not illegal for an officer to waive the financial requirements, taking cash to do so is illegal, it's not a service, it's a crime! Let the buyer beware, some have had their extensions done in another province to where they live and have met with difficulties when going to their own office. Lets not pretend this money making is anything other than what it is.

    I go to Hanoi, in the north. War museum. 

    They remember.

    They also don’t like the French people. Very cruel.

     

    They not have good experience with farang.

    The Brits seemed to do well, if they had stayed longer fighting the communists in 1945 the Vietnam war might never have happened. As the Brits were made to leave and the hated French moved back the communists returned when they could have been eradicated by the Brits aided by the re armed Japanese.

    One of the cruellest ways to dispose of anything. You have to be a real sadist to use those.

    Says a bloke who almost certainly eats animals that have had their throats cut, fish that have died in pain and stress and chickens that have head the heads ripped off. People are such hypocrites when it comes to animal welfare.
