A South African couple encountered significant challenges when attempting to apply for a DTV visa at the Royal Thai Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia. They were informed that due to their South African passports, they needed to remain in Jakarta for six weeks while their passports were held by the embassy for processing. This information was echoed by comments from users who suggested that such rules are often not communicated clearly, particularly for travelers from African countries. Several commenters expressed frustration over the couple's lack of research prior to their trip, reinforcing the idea that visa rules can vary greatly depending on nationality.
