My husband and I are looking to apply for the DTV as remote workers, and we’ll be bringing our 3-month-old along as a dependent. We meet the income requirements and have the bank statements, contracts, and invoices ready to go.

A few questions:

1. Which location seems to have the highest success rate right now? I heard Taipei was a good bet about a year ago, but I know these things change.

2. Can either my husband or I apply as the primary visa holder, with the other two listed as dependents?

3. If we apply in the next month or so, will tax returns be required—even though the financial year hasn’t ended?

4. Anything else we should know before jumping into the process?

Thanks in advance!
Answer summary
A couple is preparing to apply for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand as remote workers with a 3-month-old dependent. They seek advice on the best locations for application success, primary applicant rules for dependents, tax return requirements during the application process, and any additional advice before starting the application. Responses suggest digital submission, caution against applying from China, and the importance of applying from home for efficiency. There is also clarification that only one person can hold the primary visa before dependents can apply.

Is there any reason you don't apply from home before you go? Otherwise you're going to be spending weeks or months in the country where you want to apply.

In order to apply with dependents, one of you must apply as primary and wait for the entire process to complete. Only one that visa issued can the dependent applications be submitted, as one of the requirements for those is a copy of the fully issued primary DTV visa.

Most people are going to Vietnam recently, though Indonesia is also popular as people can stay in Bali while waiting for the e-visa to be processed.
