When it’s time to do my first DTV border run, do you think 2-3 days is enough? I’m on workation and never had issues 🙏 I’ve just heard some people say they want you out for some time and I’ve got pets, it’s not in my interest. Thank you in advance.
Answer summary
The initial poster is concerned about the duration required for a DTV border run, primarily due to the presence of pets and past experiences indicating that being out of the country for several days may be necessary. Commenters discuss conflicting rules regarding financial requirements for dependents applying with the primary DTV holder, particularly in relation to minimum funds needed. Overall, this highlights the complexities and varying interpretations of visa regulations that expats face.
