Hello, DTV fam. I want to ask if anybody has succeeded in getting a DTV visa from JAKARTA with a Chinese Passport.

Has anyone with Philippine passport tried applying DTV in Vietnam?

How I can apply for my husband for the DTV with me when I apply and what is the requirement from his side?

For those that go with the soft power options (Muay Thai training in particular), how do you get with the gym to have them creating the docs for you? Do you fly to Thailand to pay them directly, or can it somehow be done online prior to your flying there?

Hello for those experienced in DTV, I just want to be sure I’m getting the process done to apply and obtain a DTV the first time I do it (and correctly). Here’s my scenario:

I’m in Thailand now and have secured an apartment here and have a scheduled move in date of November 5th. I fly back to California in a couple days where I will be for just over 2 weeks before coming back to Thailand again to move into my new place. If I understand correctly I can apply online for the DTV as soon as I get back to California and am out of Thailand.

I sold my company in California a year ago and have technically retired with those funds (I’m 45 years old) but I do have a small business I started where I review/audit construction estimates for accuracy but it’s very very part time. I do this online and think noting that on the DTV as a digital nomad might be the easiest way for DTV approval.

Based on current approval timeframes would the two weeks be enough to obtain the DTV when k get back to California before heading back to Thailand around November 3rd? I don’t want to mess anything up with coming back into Thailand while the approval process is pending but I HAVE to be back November 4th to take ownership of the apartment (and hopefully start my long term living situation in Thailand which I’m excited for!)

Thanks so much for your experienced answers and advice.

**For anyone who successfully applied for DTV for yourself and your family (Walk-in):

Did you apply for both yourself and your spouse at the same time, or did you have to get your visa approved first before submitting theirs the next day?

I’m applying in Taipei and need to plan the trip duration. Thank you so much!🙏

Which one of the two embassies in Vietnam is preferable right now with eVisa? Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi? Do they take about the same time for processing? I already used the search function but most people just write Vietnam so I'm not actually sure

Applied at the London Embassy for a DTV, Muay Thai course.

Application submitted on Tuesday, approved yesterday.

I had allowed 2 weeks for it, very surprised it was so quick, and very happy to get it.

Hi All, I heard a rumor that the Canterbury tales bookshop is up for sale, is it true?
