Hi, I’m going to apply for a DTV visa based on rental income from property, I’ll be in Vietnam and Uk before I need it which country is best to apply in ? I’m from uk 

Thanks

Answer summary

The best country to apply for a DTV visa based on rental income, for a UK citizen planning to be in Vietnam and the UK, is the UK itself. Many expats have successfully applied from the UK, with approval times averaging around 5 days. It is generally advised to apply from your home country due to simplicity and faster processing. Other locations such as Hanoi and Jakarta were mentioned as viable alternatives, but applying from the UK is reported to be easier and quicker.

I know people who have got the DTV from rental properties in the UK. They positioned it as they managed the properties remotely. This is even if only approving work or tenancy with a letting agent etc. They applied from the UK. Have a search through the group posts - there are examples.
