Editing the post. I am on the island of Ko Pha Ngan in Thailand and I want to do the DTV visa. The closest countries I have seen are Burma, Vietnam and Laos. The question is if anyone has been to one of these countries successfully and can help me understand how to get there.

I am in Cambodia to apply for DTV. It took several days. In Burma, it only took 2 days.

Hi Visa of a company owner who works remotely. The closest to Koh Phangan I saw was Burma but I don't think you can submit the visa there.

I would appreciate a factual answer

P.S.: A search in this group shows factual results about Myanmar (and many other countries) too.

P.P.S.: Cheaper is Laos, they charge exactly 10,000 Baht (in THB). No need to get USD in "pristine" condition.
