The post discusses the variability of visa requirements as noted in a recent article, highlighting differing standards across embassies. Comments point out potential sourcing of information from community discussions, and a specific mention of a new requirement for the DTV visa, which invites applicants to document cultural engagement such as Thai boxing or culinary training.
