The primary reason is likely the burning of rice fields; otherwise, we would see this level of PM pollution throughout the year. It's not caused by cars or factories—addressing the issue with farmers is key.

I'm not sure whether it was the hotline or this post that made the difference, but my next visit went smoothly. I submitted the documents, had no police visits to the home, and received the extension exactly 30 days after the consideration period ended.

30 days from the day of submitting documents - Chachoengsao. I.e. you can submit your application up to 45 days before your current extension expires. The new extension will be granted for the next year, even before your current extension ends. The processing time is 30 days from the date of document submission (may be delaied a bit).

Very surprised that prohibited to leave the Laos even on emergency reasons while visa application is processing.

Any updates for long term visas in Vietnam? Am I correct in understanding that long-term visitors do border runs repeatedly for years without a problems?

However, need to contact with the office, it may be flexible.

The question is what to do when local imm wides requirements in comparison with described in official immigration sources? Hot line is not helpful at all.

funds in the bank yes My local imm office requests statement, deposit balance certificate and bank book original and copies. These documents are required every extension (since my first extension). And as mentioned above they are playing with a form how these documents should looking: statement depths, may request other proofs like stampts or special signing.

Chachoengsao

How do you provide 12 month statement if just obtained non-o visa and have only 90 days after entering?

Have do it few years in a row in the my local immigration. Last two years they have started changing rules for proofs of seasoning money in a bank. Previous year - local immigration requested proofing stamp on every page of the bankbook. The bank workers was amazed and decline it. So, organized a little call confrence between a person from immigration and bank stuff. In the end - immmigration agreed to skip this requirement. This year - normally requires the statement with transaction history for a two months but not in this time (it is correspond for the money seasoning rules). Now local imm authorities requested history for the last year. Bank may provide at the same day only 6 months history. For the more depth history required ~7 days. It may be a surprise if you will come to imm not in advance. More over if you just obtained NON-O visa then you have not a year history at all, so this requirement looks also foolish. Hotline 1178 is useless at this case. They have approved that 2 month is quite enough, and just proposed to follow requirements from local imm authorities. It’s difficult to determine whether this stems from personal hostility, an attempt to push people towards using agents’ services, or something else.

in my case 45 days

is there an official site where "Fast Track" is selling?

I have done in similar way, let the wife figure it out with this government and taxes, 😄

For many years Immigration officers have visited my home only once without a reason. Guess it should not be a problem until your will need to extend the stamp. May be many reason why you and your spouse stay separately for a while. It may be a problem in her family or religius reason and etc.
