What is the process and timeframe for applying for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) from Brussels or Paris?

Hey everyone! 👋

Has anyone here applied for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) from Brussels or Paris? I’d really appreciate some insight.

I meet all the main requirements except that I don’t yet have the 500,000 THB seasoned for 6 months. My apartment sale finalizes next week, and once that’s done I’ll have well over 500,000 THB in my account. My monthly income is solid, and my parents are also willing to include a sponsorship letter with an account showing more than the required amount.

I plan to include my professional portfolio, social media presence, and music royalty income statements as proof of my ongoing work and financial stability. I also have a long-term condo lease in Bangkok (I stayed about 5 months this year on a tourist visa), which I’ll attach as supporting evidence.

👉 Questions:

* How long does it usually take to get the visa approved?

* Would you recommend applying through Brussels or Paris?

* And does anyone know if they’re getting stricter about the 6-month fund requirement?

I’m hoping to apply as soon as possible before any potential policy changes. Thanks a lot in advance for any advice or recent experiences! 🙏
