A British passport holder with a golden visa in the UAE is seeking advice on where to apply for fast visa approval for a situation involving residence in Thailand. Comments suggest applying in Vietnam for quicker processing and recommend using a home address from the passport country instead of the Thai address to support the application.

We just had a customer approved in 7 days in Hanoi. But it can be longer depending on there workload. We found its best not to put address in Thailand as home address. Put an address in your home passport country, they like to see yoi have a base at home rather than telling them you already live in Thailand. I guess you could put UAE address too.

How do you propose to qualify for a DTV visa? If you physically work in Iraq you won't qualify for the workation option so will need to use one of the Soft Power activities.
