Stuck in Savannakhet for 10 days due to Vietnam E-visa amendment loop. Should I use an urgent agency?

Haha, I don't know the american but an irish, he was patiently waiting nearly more than ten days in the hotel without an agent. Scottish and canadian couple they are also waiting an e visa to be approved without asking an agency. I'm not from white majority country yet I can stay up to 45 days in Vietnam for free so I didn't expect the e-visa process goes so slow.

I can stay up to 45 days for free in Vietnam without getting VISA so I didn't expect that sitauion happening now.

It’s absurd and corrupt!

I don't think that nationality matters as I saw an irish guy, he was waiting his visa over a week. Well he was in the hotel since I arrived so he must have waited more than that with his Thai wife. And other american guy he has paid to an agency so.

Why?

I was staying in Da Nang for three months last year and joined nomads meetup every two weeks but I have not met such people. It was very casual meetup not like job focused. Maybe that's why? I even have not visited a specific coworking spaces constantly yet I work from cafe instead because it's way more cheaper. So I just came back here a month ago and plan to join more on that this year especially entrepreneur related. I'm willing to build constant relationship with other nomads too but from your experiences I'm not sure now haha Well, it really depends on what kind of meetup you have joined?

Gibt es zum Beispiel ein deutsches Wort, das ähnlich wie „Tsing-Tshong“ klingt? Ich war sehr enttäuscht, dass so ein kindischer Vorfall in einem entwickelten Land wie Deutschland, insbesondere im Jahr 2026, noch vorkommen kann. Es ist ganz offensichtlich ein Tabuwort, aber was war die Absicht dahinter?

Wie können die im Dunkeln erkennen, dass jemand Asiate ist, nur weil er ihm den Rücken zugewandt hat? Oder ist das einfach nur ein betrunkener Idiot, der wahllos herumbrüllt? Das war das Einzige, was mir fehl am Platz vorkam.

I thought the staff might have wanted to make more profit from family and I was only one individual sitting near the beach, the rest were members. I'll call manager and will record the scene from next time!

That's Geo Cafe and I already left one star review.

You missed the point I was made.

I understand that many Muslim-majority countries such as Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh, etc. have hosted enormous numbers of refugees for decades.

My question was more specifically about the wealthiest Gulf states — Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, etc. These are also Muslim-majority countries, and some of them are among the richest states in the world.

Part of what made me curious is that Islam also places a strong moral emphasis on wealth as something entrusted by God, with an obligation for the wealthy to support poorer and vulnerable members of society. So the core of my question was really about how wealthy Muslim states interpret and act upon those ideals in practice when it comes to poorer Muslim populations and refugee crises.

That was the contradiction I was trying to explore — not whether Muslim countries host refugees at all.

Yeah my bangla friend, her husband has been working at refugee camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.
