I’m interested in applying for the DTV but not sure where is the best place to apply for? I’m looking at Ho Chi Minh, Jakarta and Laos but is there a difference between these embassies? and do I need to be in the country before applying?
Answer summary
When applying for a DTV visa, it is crucial to be in the country where you intend to apply at the time of your application. Among the options of Ho Chi Minh, Jakarta, and Laos, it is advised to avoid Jakarta due to longer processing times, which can take up to two months or more.

Oh Lord....not Jakarta. It will take you almost if not more than 2 months probably!

You need to be in the country you are applying from at time of application until approval.
