ORIGINAL POSTERDTV APRROVED MANILA 6 business days

Next is applying for the dependent!
Hi all!
I submitted my application for my DTV (workation)on Sunday 27th in Manila. The application has been pending approval with no update. No additional documents were requested. I’ve emailed them and they said it takes 7-10 days to process each application. We really thought it would be quicker from reading success stories in this group.
I still need to apply for a dependent for my son. We were planning to leave back to Thailand next Monday. I guess it’s not as fast as we hoped and we have to stay another week to wait for this🥲
Anyone in the same boat?

Be patient... and stay in the Philippines. Do not leave until you get the DTV Visas for you and family members.

7-10 days is still very decent for a 5-years visa isn't it?

ORIGINAL POSTERAnonymous participant 266 absolutely, we’re still waiting. But I’m sure it’s also completely acceptable to ask for assurance and other people’s experiences 😊

I applied on the 23rd in Manila and got rejected on the 26th. Then I figured I just apply for a 90 day TR visa on the 26th and I'm still waiting.

Anonymous participant 808 why they reject you?

Anonymous participant 170 I made a post about it on this group. I don't really know why they rejected me. The comments seem very divided about the potential reason too.
