Question about the new TDAC form from May 1st

I don’t really have an issue with filling out the form itself, but I’m confused about one thing:

When selecting *country of residence*, it seems you can’t choose the Kingdom of Thailand.

What do you do if you are on a DTV - live here, pay tax here, and officially have residency here?

Choosing another country would technically mean lying on the form – any thoughts or experience with this?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hello, any stories of successful (or even unsuccessful) applications for DTV in Manila? I'm wondering if the embassy there is a quick turnaround like Jakarta or strict like Taiwan seems to be? I've searched the group and not much posts.

Anyone has an experience applying for DTV in Madrid? How long was the process? Thanks.

Any DTV success at Nairobi or any other Embassy

Does anyone have any updates regarding the launch of the proposed ETA, I read that it was postponed until further notice & not going to be implemented in December as initially announced

DTV approved in Los Angeles. Super slow but smooth. Submitted on July 25, approved on August 22.

For those thinking about applying for the DTV in Taiwan, here is an up to date statement (received 5min ago).

The link in there is the one you probably already know if you researched Taiwan:

So it's still a walk-in, no appointment kind of thing. 👍

LINK TO THE REQUIREMENTS:

Very happy, I finally applied for DTV visa. In Jakarta

Taipei - do they still issue DTV within same day? Colleague got response from them today that it takes up to 3 days if all documents are in place, if missing - up to 5 days. On the other hand, when i inquired, they told me same day. Possible that the volume of applications have increased hence longer time to process? anybody applied last week or so and got it same day? Also, has anyone booked a hotel not far from the office? if yes, could you please recommend. thanks in advance!
