I was going to apply for DTV while in Europe, specifically Denmark. But a visa agency told me only 1/3rd of DTV applications get approved in Europe, and that it is best to do it from Vietnam, Hanoi.

Updated details: My passport is Danish and I was born in Denmark, but my residency is not in Denmark. I just thought about applying in Denmark since I will be here for some weeks this summer and it is not practical to apply from my official country of residence.

Is this legit? Any negatives about applying from Europe and getting denied?
Answer summary
The user inquires about the legitimacy of advice received from a visa agency, which suggests that applying for a DTV visa in Europe (specifically Denmark) has a lower success rate compared to applying from Hanoi, Vietnam. They mention their Danish passport and residency status and are concerned about the potential negatives of applying from Europe. Comments from the community overwhelmingly advise that applying from one's home country (Denmark) may lead to better approval chances. They also share experiences that contradict the agency's claims, highlighting that many have successfully applied from Europe.

Europe is currently the easiest place to get any kind of DTV Worckation/Soft Power.

Agents just wanna make money, bro. Do it on your own! The best embassy, for most people, is usually the one in your HOME country.

I know the Netherlands does not approve softpower DTV, hence why I went to Laos.

Would’ve preferred to just get my DTV in The Netherlands though.

My school told me Belgium / Germany has way better approval rates for softpower DTV

If your documentation for the application is legit, with a bank account that doesn't look like the required money wasn't just added, it is no difference than applying anywhere else, but if you are trying softpower category, with a Muay Thai school, or cooking school thousands of others are using, and the money has been in your account for the minimum amount of time, it can be questionable.

I am pretty certain that the agent has no idea of rejection numbers per location.

Personally I think these visa agents are in the know and have no reason to lie

Are you a citizen or a resident of Denmark? If not, most likely you can not apply via that embassy. How long will you be there? The embassies in Europe can take longer than in this region and you would need to stay in Denmark the entire time

Not true and looks much better when it's from your home country.

I suspect that this is more an agency being familiar with consular offices in Vietnam over ones in Europe. Plenty of people have applied from within Europe and had the visa granted.
