Hey, HB.
As a Canadian, I was pleased to see that the consulate general read your letter and responded to it.
Now, let's hope that the consul and staff do the right thing and expedite your visa! I can hardly believe that it takes 55 days!!!
Granted, they get many applications and have much work to do, but no application for a simple transit visa or anything similar should take that long. If I were running the consulate general, you'd have your visa yesterday. :-)
Best of luck!
I didnt know u are Canadian. Haha. My korean friend asked visa to stay in Canada 2 months. And he took it within 3 days. I can understand that. My nationality πππ
If I cant get visa in time. I still have the last choice. Change flight ticket and accept to lose $1500. π
That sucks. But I trust that the Canadians will respond to your polite and humble letter by providing your visa on time.
The only countries in SE Asia that we Canadians need an advance visa are Myanmar and Vietnam. Kinda irritating, cuz to other countries, we can travel freely.
Actually, I find the whole visa nonsense bothersome and annoying. Every country should simply adopt a visa-on-arrival policy. And the visas should be good for a year each time. I do not understand why they don't just make it simple like that, charge a reasonable fee, and everyone will be happy.
Haha. You also need visa to go Vietnam? I think both countries should create favour condition for each other. lol.
Youβre right. But problem is they dont want to take money. :)) this transit visa is free. π
