I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa and I’m considering doing it from Laos, Cambodia, or Vietnam. Does anyone know which country has the fastest processing time?

Answer summary

The inquiry is about the fastest country to apply for the DTV visa among Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Comments indicate that Laos may have the quickest processing time, with one user receiving approval the next day after applying in Vientiane. However, there are also mentions of stricter requirements regarding the bank balance needed for the application in Laos. Another user suggested that Vietnam and Jakarta might be faster for online applications. Overall, users recommend verifying information through the Embassy's website.

I think Laos probably has the fastest turnaround time out of all, but i believe they are more strict on the amount of time that the 500,000k has to be in your bank account. I believe it’s a minimum of 3 months.Maybe someone here who’s applied in Vientiane, Laos can confirm this to be true?

Anonymous participant 890 I hope they make it 3 months minimum

Transferring money into your account right before you apply is questionable. We all heard about investments. But this is the easiest 5 year visa to get. Not sure the lost interest is significant

Plus if your investing in FX, crypto or market you have more money than 500K or working on margin. Plan ahead with statements. If you give a reason for decline the cost to reply will kill your investment income complaint.

I applied on 17th April, first working day after Pi Mai (Lao Songkran). There were very few people in the payment queue. Recieved invitation for interview same day. 18th April 9:30 went to interview. They asked me about my work (I applied with workcation category), mostly facts from documents I attached (like when I started working, where the company is located, where did I work before). It looked like they wanted to tell if I cheated in my application documents or not (I didn't, so answered all their questions easily). Finally, they asked me to show my banking app, checked the account name, the amount of money, recent transactions. The interview was very friendly and polite. If you don't cheat you have nothing at all to worry about. From my point of view the interview is even better than to just submit online, because during the talk you have better chance to convience officer that you qualify for this visa. After interview I got email with visa within 15 minutes.
