Hia,

Has anyone been issued a DTV under soft power from UK? I'm British and will be in the UK for a month and thought to apply from there.

But school / agent is suggesting Vietnam or Laos. (As a lot of their students apply through there successfully). Obvious reasons being the proximity to Thailand but possibly less strict..

I will meet the requirements and UK would be easier for me.

TIA

It is easy enough to apply yourself. If you go to the main DTV group of FB, you can find posts by UK SP applicants approved in London which has a good reputation for approvals.
