Which embassy offers the quickest turnaround for a DTV visa application?
Hey guys what is the best embassy for the DTV (quickest turn around) I have the requirements. I have a condo in Thailand so I don’t want to be paying rent while I’m waiting outside the country for my visa to be accepted.
I’ve been told kuala lumpa/vietnam are a quick turn around.
Thanks in advance people 🫡🤝

You can apply out of the country and re-enter in Thailand, then leave again to activate it once it’s approved.

@Ben ******
not really as if checked you can/will be deniedTodd *********
@Kenan *****
you can. And you can also end up having it rejected for doing soKenan ******
@Todd ********
That’s not true, because the embassy in Kuala Lumpur itself told us that we could leave Malaysia and re-enter Thailand while waiting for the approval (which takes 5 weeks). However, the one in Paris requires us to stay in France during the process. So the rules change from one embassy to another.Todd *********
@Kenan *****
they clearly state it where? If anyone plans on leaving the nation of application during the waiting process, absolutely get written consent to do so. Or risk denialKenan ******
@Anna ********
No idea. I just based it on what she told me. And the dozen friends who applied for the DTV did it the same way and all of them were approved.Anna *********
@Kenan *****
did it ever occur to you that the person at te embassy misspoke or you misunderstood It is clearly stated in the guidelines to be out of the country while applying/waiting for approval for the DTVKenan ******
@Todd ********
What I mean is that it’s not systematic! Embassies that don’t allow you to leave the country clearly state it. If there’s no specific mention, you’re allowed to do it. Out of the three embassies, only the one in Paris required us to stay.Todd *********
@Kenan *****
how about trying some coherent thinking. You tell me ‘that’s not true’. And then expand to tell me it is true lol. What I said is precisely true. We all know the rules differ between consulates. In some nations, leaving the country (especially returning to Thailand) can result in rejection.

KL, or any of the Malaysian consulates, are difficult to deal with

I'm in Hanoi now, submitted everything on Sunday. On Tuesday they asked for my Vietnam immigration stamp page again for some reason and it's been showing as pending approval since then. I hope I get an answer by tomorrow otherwise I guess I need to wait until next week.

I only see a public holiday for Tuesday for the queen's birthday. I assume we go by their opening hours so after 17:30, we need to wait until the next day for an update?
