Is it better to apply for a DTV Visa from Laos or Vietnam rather than from my home country?

The discussion centers around the DTV Visa application process, particularly whether it's more effective to apply from Laos or Vietnam rather than from one's home country. Several comments suggest that many expatriates are applying from neighboring countries due to their proximity to Thailand and previous visa exemptions. The ease of application from one's home country varies based on specific regulations and can often be quicker. Additionally, there are concerns about demonstrating business legitimacy without a significant online presence or meeting the 500k THB requirement in a business account, which leads to questions about personal savings being sufficient.
