I have a DTV visa but I am going to get a DTV visa for my wife and my child who is 4 years old. We are planning to apply for it in Kuala Lumpur. Is there a chance that the DTV visa for them could be denied? And how long does the process usually take for a family DTV visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The chances of obtaining a DTV visa for your wife and child in Kuala Lumpur are uncertain, as there are reports of the KL embassy being strict and requiring extra documentation. Additionally, while some applicants have reported completing the process in less than a week, others suggest that other locations like Hanoi and Penang may have a more straightforward application process, with Hanoi being noted for quicker approvals.

Dependent visa in KL took less than a week in September.

For the past months, I have heard the most extra documentation requests, and delays from KL. Bali and Hanoi were the easiest.

Not sure about the update though but based on the past responses, best to go to hanoi

KL is the strictest embassy for DTV approval. Penang is easier. Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia are very "friendly" embassies.

I would go to Hanoi if possible. Me and my children got ours done in 2 days

I suggest you should apply at Hanoi. Thai embassy in Hanoi is very easy way to get dependent DTV visa.
