I have a few DTV questions - I appreciate everyone's help in advance:

1. If I apply for DTV under workcation and get approval and then apply for my husband and kid's for their DTV - can my husband work remote as well under this "dependent" DTV?

2. I don't want to book any flights to Thailand until we all have approval - has anyone had their DTV application recently approved without providing an already booked flight confirmation and accommodation booking?

2 a) In case they end up requiring a flight booking - does anyone have a reliable website for a temp booking confirmation that would be sufficient?

3. If I don't have a flight until 2 months out - do you think they would take longer to process my application?

Thanks everyone

The Cambodia Approvals Thread

I see a lot of this scattered across various posts. Simply reply here with your date of application, and application details (soft power vs work action).

Once approved, reply to your initial comment with details.

Looks like the consistent processing time is 11 business days (counting the date of application).

Cheers

Hello ☺️

I have landed in Ho Chi Minh but from the posts I've read I feel like I want to try apply in Hanoi instead.

If I now fly to Hanoi internally from Ho Chi Minh can I apply there?

Also, if I get rejected in Ho Chi Minh does this mean I am not allowed to leave Vietnam, and fly back into Hanoi and try again at a later date there?

Thank you

Anyone applied the DTV visa in Manila using soft power option recently ?

We are planning to apply in Manila (plan to stay there for 10-14 days) at the beginning of next month, wondering if anyone could share some recent experience.

We are gonna enroll to the Discover Thai Nature seminar ( [members only] ) for the DTV visa, the seminar said they do not have experience from Manila so I am still thinking if Manila is a good option or we should apply in Hanoi, Vietnam instead

I want to apply for DTV & do it via an education visa.

I plan to go to Laos to do my DTV visa for it but I also need to leave the country cause my tourist visa will end Feb 16.

How long does it take and what are the steps to apply for the ED visa / DTV Visa?

Very confused by how to start the process (but I do understand already what other things I need to show such as proof of funds, etc as shown on the Laos website seen below)

Suggest an agent or not.

Hi, I'm looking to apply for dtv at HCMC consulate as remote worker. I keep seeing that they ask for 6 months worth of payment slips/proof of income. I've only worked this way for 2 months so far, so that's all I have to show. Is it even worth trying now or should I wait 4 more months with my application? That would be possible for me, but getting it earlier would be more convenient. So that's why I'm asking. Thanks!
