My family and I would like to apply for the DTV online.

What's the best / correct approach:

1. Submit my application first, and only once it's been approved, submit my wife's and daughter's application afterwards?

2. Or can we submit multiple - main and dependent - DTV applications together in one submission on the same day?

Can anyone here share some pointers? Many thanks in advance 🙏

Applied in Jakarta — and amazingly, it got approved in just three days

Since I didn’t have much time, I decided to go through an agent. Most of the reviews I read said it would take at least 10 days to get approved, so I booked a 10-day stay in Bali just in case.

But unexpectedly, the visa came through early. With this “extra time” on my hands, I’m now seriously considering going one step further — maybe I should just apply for Indonesia’s digital nomad visa?

When your DTV status changes to pending approval is that a good sign or still 50/50?

I’m hoping someone can help me with an answer to this. I am US citizen trying to apply to my local thai embassy which is Washington DC. The consulate visa department never answers their phone or emails I have sent… Does anyone know if I have to keep the 500k bhat in my checking acct for a certain period of time at this embassy location before applying? I keep seeing 3 months in certain places but also saw someone in London applied the day after the $ was put into his acct and he was approved.

DTV Approved in Bali today. It took 10 business day and the process was literally smooth and not requesting so many complex document stuff. 😊

DTV approved in HCM 🇻🇳 (2 business days)

Applied on Sunday

Approved on Tuesday.

Thank you everyone who shared experience & info. It have really helped me apply smoothly and get approved.

I truly appreciate your support and advice!

DTV approved. Applied June 30, approved July 8. US citizen and applied online via LA consulate while in Colorado. Applied for workcation as self-employed. Another friend said it took him also 8 days. Thought I messed up by putting 5 years on how long my stay would be, didn't seem to matter.

Was asked for additional documents July 7: business registration, letter of employment, portfolio, and tax return. Sent docs and was approved within minutes.

Happy to assist anyone self employed wanting the workcation DTV.

Approved in Hanoi (Workcation)

July 1, Tue: Applied

July 2 Wed: Add Doc

July 7 Mon: Approved

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who shared countless application reviews.

In my case, I annotated the Financial Evidence section in detail for the past three months and even included screenshot captures on current day, but ultimately, I was asked to simply resubmit the original bank statement. Just for your reference.

Just as I’ve received help, I’ll do my best to answer any questions you may have.

I saw a post about Ankara being a scam embassy to apply from, but we used them and both of our DTV visas were approved in 6-7 working days. They were also very responsive through FB chat. While waiting for approval, I was talking to three others on Reddit who were using that embassy, and all of them also received their DTV visas in a timely manner. Please do not be dismayed or fear using that embassy. They seem to like submissions that are well organised and 6 months of bank statements helped - so for you supporting documents make a table of contents and then order your documents to follow such. Good luck!
