ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello everyone! You've been helpful before, so I'll post again :)

I've applied for the DTV remote worker visa in Malaysia, and they requested so many documents. I even had to use a notary and get documents apostilled, and so on. Eventually, I managed to get everything and submitted it through the portal. Now the status is again "Pending documents check."

My question is: Can I leave the country and go on a well-deserved holiday somewhere else? I've already been stuck here for two weeks just waiting for the visa.

I mean, is this legally allowed, or could it create any problems with immigration later? I know it's usually advised to stay in case they request an interview, but I could always come back if needed. So my question is more about the legal side, because I can't find clear information about this anywhere.

Thank you!

I would like to ask a question and hear some honest opinions, if anyone truly knows the answer.

My job requires me to travel the world, and I need to be on the road constantly.

I came to London and started my DTV application on January 23rd. However, on January 26th I had to travel to Norway for work. There was no other option,

I had to complete the trip. I returned to London on February 3rd and I am now waiting for the embassy’s response, which they said could take up to 15 business days.

However, I will need to travel again soon for work.

Do you think I might have any issues because I traveled during the application process?

If the DTV is approved while I am outside the UK, would I lose my application?

If I do lose the application, would I be able to apply again from another country?

Thank you so much to anyone who can help clarify this.

For getting a DTV Soft power in London, are they wanting you to stay in the country?

I'll be applying 3 months in advance but still want do short breaks in the EU.

Hi 👋

For those who applied for the DTV visa from Vietnam —

did anyone apply in HCMC and then travel to another city (Da Nang / Hanoi / etc.) while waiting?

Was it okay, or did they ask for new proof of location?

Thanks!

bit worried I applied while in the states, but am sitting on a plane leaving now. my paperwork hasn't been processed and I submit a KUL-KBV trip Jan 13 as entry, none before.

What I'm doing is US to Tunis for a week, then Tunis to KUL. I'm worried they'll ask for more flights, and I'll be able to show them originating in the US after my application - although no longer being there...

Anyone been through something similar, and how did it pan out?
