Vietnam Visa: anyone experiencing delays?

Been seeing adds on Instagram for Altys for the past few days since I’ve been thinking about an intl trip (wink wink) and was wonder if anyone’s used their service and how it’s been. particularly South Korea if any ? I spoke to Akbar travels who I’ve used before and they quoted 10k for a visa and Altys is like 4k! Not sure if they add more on the way or if it really is that good.. Not able to see many reviews online too, most of people on their own YouTube channel..lol

Really really really want to travel to Europe this year for a 3 week solo trip but unfortunately the visa process seems to be a buzzkill I’ve heard people wait for 6 months and still not get their visa, despite following all proper procedures If anyone’s recently travelled, I wanna know: - Which country has the shortest visa processing time? - Is there anything you do differently that can fast track your acceptance? Oh and in case you’re crazy and spontaneous enough to wanna join me, let’s get chatting :)

- India's government is finalizing rules to expedite visa processing for Chinese technicians, addressing business complaints about delays impacting manufacturing. - The new framework aims to reduce visa processing time from 4-5 months to within 30 days, involving multiple government departments. - Strict visa rules were imposed after a 2020 border clash, significantly reducing the number of visas issued to Chinese nationals. - Businesses argue that the visa restrictions are hindering India's manufacturing ambitions and increasing costs. - The India Cellular & Electronics Association estimates a $15 billion production loss and 100,000 job opportunities lost due to the border standoff.

Hi, I have an exhibition in April'25. The latest visa appointment date I can see is of Aug'25. Please help me. I had to move a lot of pieces and be at the right time/place to get this opportunity. Don't want to miss it because of the visa 😅 I've heard that the visa appointment date gets opened randomly and one needs to book the slot. Can anyone pls help me where I can get the latest information for the appointment date or pls let me know if there's any other way.

Anyone here who has applied for us tourist visa. I got the appointment for next year 2025 in july the waiting time is very long. I watched some videos and people say join the telegram group, chrome extension etc or check daily on the portal also you can only reschedule your appointments 3 times. Also is it true that immigration department releases slots very often and you just have to find dates? Please let me know if you have any suggestions or anything that helped you to get the appointment early
