What is the best nearby country to apply for the Thailand DTV (Digital Nomad) visa based on personal experiences?

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm currently in Thailand and will need to leave the country in the next few days to apply for the DTV (Digital Nomad) visa from a nearby country.

For those who have successfully applied, which country did you choose and why? I'd love to hear about your personal experience.

- Which Thai embassy/consulate did you use?
- How long did the process take?
- Were they strict about documentation?
- Would you recommend that location to someone applying for the first time?

I'm considering nearby options such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Taiwan, Indonesia, or the Philippines, but I'm open to any recommendations.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

Hanói - earlier this month. Easy flight, good prices. Cool city to visit.

Approval came exactly 14 days after submission but most seem quicker. No other details were requested. We applied after holidays so they have been backlogged.

We have the funds in bank for 90 days, but some report Hanoi does not require. It was all pretty easy Andy eventful. Although a little long

I went Hanoi in Vietnam, applied with muay Thai. Took 4 working days. They asked for a clearer photo day after I applied that was all. This was in november.

Hope that helps
