ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the choice between using an agency versus applying for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) independently while currently on an ED (Education) visa. Users have shared varied experiences, with some advising against agencies due to high costs and potential scams, suggesting that individuals can apply for the DTV visa directly without much difficulty. It is recommended to maintain the ED visa until the DTV visa is approved to avoid risks, and to seek assistance from the educational institution regarding documentation. The conversation also touches upon the necessity of understanding the specific requirements and processes based on one's nationality.
