Looking for the fastest turnaround, least friction DTV process (workcation):

Taipei

Hanoi

Abu Dhabi

What’s your experience? How many days? 

Is there another obvious option I’m missing? 

I’m a Brit, in SE Asia with UAE residency. 

Thank you in advance! ❤️

Why not just apply in your country?

Neighbouring countries take too many applicants and won't reply you fast enough sometimes

I applied in my home country and got accepted in 5 days

Good luck :)

Are you going workcation or soft power? I think workcation takes a bit more time because of the amount of paperwork/proof.

For me Taipei same day approval with in person application. Nowadays it's online and takes around 5 business days. Vietnam can be similar if you on point with your application.Check a recent post from someone approved in that timeframe. Indonesia, Laos are great options
