I am French at the beginning of October I will finally have the 15,000 euros in my bank account for 3 months, I see that Paris would take almost 1 month to process my request for Dtv visa…

according to you it is better to wait or I could take a trip to Indonesia to Jakarta to apply there. I meet all the conditions but I see that some are refused even though they respect all the conditions and it is a little scary.
Answer summary
A French expat is considering whether to wait for a DTV visa application to be processed in France, which could take about a month, or to travel to Jakarta, Indonesia, to apply there. Commenters share their visa processing experiences, highlighting varying approval times and suggesting that it might be easier and less risky to apply from France to avoid complications with document translations and potential delays abroad.

If you feel like a holiday, may be a good idea. But it is possible the documents would need to be in English or translated, if not already

Your country would be the best option U can apply now and get your dtv in a month so that you don't need to go to a 3rd country, spend money on flights and accomodations and not being sure when your visa gets approved. There are cases that even in countries nearby it has taken about a month to get the dtv. (if you apply in france then the embassy will likely accept some documents in your language while if you apply abroad u need everything to be in thai/english)
