Hello! We’re a French family of 4. My partner got his DTV Workation visa, and I just applied for Thai Soft Power DTV.
Now the question is about our 2 kids:
3 y.o. and 6 months old and due to recent changes in France, we don’t have the 3-month financial proof required for children.
We arrive Sept 3
Thinking of applying for their DTV from another country (heard Hanoi is possible?). Anyone tried? Or maybe Kuala Lumpur ? Or any other?
Also for french people:
quelqu’un a déjà obtenu un visa directement à l’ambassade à Paris ? Je n’arrive pas à les joindre par téléphone…
Thanks for any help!
