What is the typical timeframe for receiving approval after reaching Pending Approval for a DTV application in Taiwan, and how does leaving affect the application?

Question

Hi! Has anyone recently applied for a DTV (Workcation/remote work) in Taiwan?
I submitted my application on August 28. I was asked for additional documents, which I submitted on September 6, and on September 7 my status changed to Pending Approval. There has been no update since.

Has anyone who applied in Taiwan recently been approved or rejected after reaching Pending Approval? If so, how long were you in Pending Approval before receiving the final decision?

I’d really appreciate any recent experiences or information. Thank you!

And one more question- if I’ll go back to Thailand, will my request cancel?

Ask Thailand · Answer

The original poster inquired about experiences with DTV (Workcation/remote work) visa applications in Taiwan, specifically after reaching the Pending Approval status. They submitted their initial application on August 28 and provided additional documents on September 6, but have not received any updates since the status changed to Pending Approval. Commenters shared their experiences, indicating that the approval process can vary significantly, with some approvals taking as long as 4-6 weeks. It was also advised not to leave Taiwan until the visa is either approved or rejected, as doing so could lead to the cancellation of the application.

When they receive requested docs the approval time is reset to 0. Someone posted recently a reply from Taipei Embassy that it is busier than normal. Some recent approvals have taken 4-6 weeks.

You can be asked for an interview and copies of all your passport pages. Leaving before approved risks your application being cancelled.
