ORIGINAL POSTER
Anyone had a DTV approved in the last week for a digital nomad route - where did they go? Heard Vietnam started denying them - is that true? I'm from UK currently in Thailand so looking for a safe place nearby to apply from.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry discusses recent approvals of Digital Nomad Visas (DTV) and mentions potential issues with Vietnam denying applications. Respondents share experiences of successful approvals in various locations, including Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, suggesting that if the applicant can demonstrate their digital nomad status, there shouldn't be significant problems with obtaining the visa.

When I applied last year, I did it in Ho Chi Minh City and it was approved the next day.

I had mine approved in Portugal two months ago and then my wife and sons approved in Hanoi a month ago. Hanoi was a lot quicker than Lisbon but may be due to it being sponsored dtv's

You heard wrong. If you are truly a digital nomad and can prove that you won't have a problem
