Need some advice. I applied for the DTV (Soft Power – Thai language) on July 31 and arrived in KL on August 3. So far, no updates. I called the embassy and was told:
* Proof of 6 months accommodation in Thailand is mandatory for all applicants (they’ll request it later)
* Most applicants are called in for an interview
* Processing time is usually a month
I own a condo in Thailand but don’t have the title deed or blue book with me — didn’t realize they’d be required. Given that, is it worth scrapping my KL application and restarting in Hanoi instead (same visa type)?
KL is draining. The embassy here is 100% stricter, and I’d rather not waste a month waiting for an interview that doesn’t guarantee approval. Open to any thoughts.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual is seeking advice regarding their DTV visa application in Kuala Lumpur, where they face strict requirements and no progress after nearly a month. They are particularly challenged by the need for proof of 6 months accommodation in Thailand, which they cannot provide as they don't have their title deed or blue book. They are considering scrapping their application in KL and starting anew in Hanoi, where different requirements may be in place. Commenters share experiences of the KL embassy's strictness and differing requirements from other embassies.
