ORIGINAL POSTER

I need some advice here! 

My fiancé and I are about to officialize our marriage. We are starting the process and expect it to be complete in the next week and a half. 

I got the DTV visa beginning of November walk in in Taiwan. 

My fiancé got a 90 day visa that expires on Feb 3rd.

We plan to go back to Taiwan or maybe even Vietnam this time to apply for his visa as a spouse/dependant. 

What I’m wondering is if we will run into any issues with our marriage being so recent. We plan to hire a photographer and dress up the day we go to the Amphur and everything as it’s a super special day for us (been together almost 13 years). But my concern is now that all DTV applications are online, they will see we just got married and think we are doing it just for the visa (We have been engaged since July and planning to get married anyway)

Does anyone have any info or experience with this? It’s my understanding that everywhere is online application now-no walkins. I know once you pay the application fee you cannot get the money back if they decline you so I just want to avoid all of that. Thanks so much!

I don’t think there should be any problems, but you can send an email to the embassy where you’re applying, and they can confirm for you. The only thing you might need is to show enough money in the account of the main DTV holder for 2 people. You can ask about this in the email too. I know in Manila, if you have dependents, you need around $14-15k for each. But different embassies might have different requirements
