ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey gang, I'd been planning to apply for my DTV in Indonesia, but not sure if I should go to Vietnam instead with what seems to be happening in Indo right now with protests/floods/etc? 

For context, my husband was approved for the DTV in Australia, but we didn't have time for me to then apply as a dependent/spouse, as the approval came through the day before we left the country. 

We each have the 500k baht (mine has only been in the account for 2 months, but was close to the full amount for a long while before that). 

My question is, is it better to apply as a spouse from Vietnam or Indonesia, and is the Indo process affected by the current situation over there?

I'm in Jakarta right now. Protests are done, I wouldn't worry. Everything back to normal here.
