What should an Austrian citizen write as the 'place of issue' when applying for a DTV in Jakarta?

@Tore ********

I did read it. Did you read all the posts I included from REAL PEOPLE who used that advice?

Calling me anonymous isn’t an insult 😅 I researched real examples extensively and know the advice I’m giving is solid. It worked for me and everyone I know.

Many people (I put examples above) input the issuing authority such as Bangkok for EU passports and were given the reason for cancellation as “wrong place of passport issue”. Don’t make the mistake. NO ONE has input country in “place of issue” and reported cancellation

@Tore ********

no I’m not, they are 2 different fields. All the posts I included are about place of issue not country of passport. Many people have been rejected for writing where there passport was issued rather than the country of their passport in place of issue. And I included all the posts about it.

You said to include the embassy in Bangkok rather than Austria for an Austrian passport, which could get them rejected based on these examples.

Maybe the common mistakes you share from the embassy say to match passport, but there are real life examples (which I shared) from this group, from real people who did this (putting the issuing authority or whatever is in their passport and not the county) in the place of issue field and were rejected

@Tore ********

For place of issue, it cannot be just “luck” to input country and get approved. Many many people have done this, one person today posted they used country for applying in Jakarta

- UK passport stated HMPO, we put United Kingdom and was approved

- SWISS passport stated Aarau AG and we put Switzerland and was approved

The advice you’ve said is wrong and my intention is to ensure no one is rejected!

NO ONE that inputted their country in “place of issue” has reported a cancellation but MANY people putting the issuing authority e.g. the city they received passport from has (yes - some being notified the reason for their cancellation was place of issue)

There are loads more posts but I’m sure I make my point. I researched this extensively and we didn’t just choose to put the country without being sure it was the correct decision

@Tore ********

wrong - my partner and I both have an issue authority in our passport and wrote the country instead and was approved. Hanoi. Check other posts, people were cancelled for inputting Bangkok as place of issue
