Speak of double standards!
I got a three-year visa (work) in five ridiculous days. It happened so fast, everyone was surprised. I was asked if I did something special (like having everything translated in Japanese). Nope, my diploma was in French, my resume and everything which wasn't provided by my employer in English. Only the company documents were in Japanese, obviously.
I'm clearly not a Thai woman (and Japan loves diploma)

It was the same at the airport with my brother unable to remember my address, and yet the customs guy let him in, and one of my housemate from a less developed country who has trouble each time he crosses the boarder, even though he has a proper visa.
