Is this valid for dtv in all countries?
Answer summary
The DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) application process is primarily online but varies by location. Many consulates require applicants to be physically present in the country from which they are applying, and some may still necessitate an in-person interview despite the online application process. Consulates in Southeast Asia and other regions may also have specific requirements like cash payment and waiting periods for interviews.

There are 3 different ways now.

1. About 90% of all consulates are now exactly as described. eVisa = Online Only.

2. A few Consulates throughout SE-Asia, have an additional interview where the person must come in person.

3. Some consulates still allow you to come in person to receive a physical visa, but as the notice says "It's no longer required" (Back to No#1)

It is online but you must be in a location served by the consulate you want to use to apply

ok, thank you. The few Americans that I know with DTVs applied in adjacent countries to Thailand so I thought there might be complications or something.

They were already living in Thailand and decided to get a DTV while already in the region.

Laos invites for a standard interview and many other countries invite for interviews. It says you can apply but it doesn’t mean they can’t invite you to show original documents and balance in your bank application

Whilst the application is online some Embassies will require you to attend an interview before issuing the visa.

It's valid for all visa applications.

But that doesn't mean you can apply while being anywhere. You need to prove that you're in the country you're applying from, and can be called in for an interview if needed.
