TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses various cities where expats have experienced quick turnaround times for obtaining a DTV visa. Participants mention Jakarta as a frequent choice, reporting turnaround times as short as 3-5 working days. Manila is also noted for quick processing, while Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi reportedly take around 5-7 working days. The Sydney Thai Consulate is highlighted for its exceptionally fast service, with one user receiving approval within a full business day.
