ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey everyone,

I applied for the DTV visa in Kuala Lumpur on September 3rd. It’s been 3 weeks now and I haven’t received any updates yet. Two days after I applied, they requested some additional documents, which I uploaded the same day.

Should I be worried, or is this kind of waiting time normal?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

Malaysia is the worst option in SEA to apply for DTV.

Don't be surprised if they come back with another document request, either for the same documents they requested last time, or something you already sent in with your original application.

Based on reports I've read, you get an average of 3 document requests, and over a month of waiting for a DTV if applying in Malaysia.
