How long does it take to get approval for a DTV remote work visa from Taiwan?

No, not at all. The first step in processing is an admin clerk looks at what you have provided. They perform some basic checks, does your name match the passport, have you provided something in each category of documentation. This is a very basic clerical check and this person has no authority to grant or refuse a visa but they can reject an incorrect application and or ask for missing documents. Once they are happy it gets set to "PENDING APPROVAL" and gets sent to a consular officer to determine your eligibility. While it can just be approved or rejected they can also ask for additional information. So pending approval just means you have the basics right but is no indication of when it will be approved. Important to note in very busy embassies processing will be prioritised on your planned travel date that you provided. If you applied last week and put 15 September and I applied this week and put 1 September , I may very well get mine first even though I applied 2 weeks later.

Brittlesmoothie In theory yes but requests for more docs can be made at that stage if they think something is amiss.

4-6 weeks?
