Is the Ankara embassy reliable for applying for a DTV visa?

I saw a post about Ankara being a scam embassy to apply from, but we used them and both of our DTV visas were approved in 6-7 working days. They were also very responsive through FB chat. While waiting for approval, I was talking to three others on Reddit who were using that embassy, and all of them also received their DTV visas in a timely manner. Please do not be dismayed or fear using that embassy. They seem to like submissions that are well organised and 6 months of bank statements helped - so for you supporting documents make a table of contents and then order your documents to follow such. Good luck!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post shares a positive experience with the Ankara embassy for applying for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa), indicating that both the poster and others received their visas within 6-7 working days. The embassy was reported to be responsive, and the poster advises organizing documents meticulously, including providing six months of bank statements, to improve chances of approval.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
