ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user is considering applying for a DTV visa while in Vietnam but is unsure due to their short stay of 10 days. They are contemplating the faster option of a Sports Visa instead. Community members suggest that the DTV visa is a solid choice if they have all the necessary documentation to prove self-employment in Germany. However, there are concerns about the time needed for visa processing in Vietnam, with 10 days potentially being tight. It is advisable to go for the DTV route for less hassle at immigration, especially for long-term plans, whereas the Sports Visa's processing time is not guaranteed to be quicker. The discussion also highlights that the application depends heavily on individual circumstances and embassy workload.
