Any Canadians apply for the DTV while in Asia? How long did it take to approve + did you use an agent or do it yourself?

Anyone that applied recently from Hanoi?

I've submitted my application by the 31th of July and have'nt got any response till the date which is more than 10 days already, does it make sense?

***update

Got approved today, thank you 😅

Hi. I’m looking to apply from vietnam via Muay Thai route. Where is the fastest processing embassy?

What about opinions on Laos? Am I better off going to Vietnam?

Approved for DTV (workcation) in under 24 hours. Thanks to everyone here sharing 😃

Wanna get DTV (workation). Where is Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) approved faster? How many days on average? Please let me know something.

What's the current waiting time for approval in Vientiane at the moment?

Thanks.

1- Which country will be easy and faster as I’m Indian passport holder so between Indonesia and Vietnam which one I have to choose.

2 - How I have to pay DTV fees 10000B,

as mentioned I can make a demand draft to that particular embassy but I need a proper information on this

3- Now I’m in India so while filling the form what I have to choose in my current address, it should be My hotel booking of the city of embassy like- Hotel in Vietnam or Jakarta or I have to put my current address of India .

Jakarta approval 😃

Workcation application as a business owner

Flew to Jakarta on 5th May and submitted application that day, despite it being a Thai public holiday.

Docs submitted:

Passport bio page

Business registration documents

company tax returns

Letter confirming I am the sole owner and shareholder

Letter confirming company approved me to work remotely in Thailand, high level scope of work

Personal bank statements for last 6 months

Flight booking, AirBnB booking, boarding pass and Indonesia 30 day visa confirmation

Not great timing as Thai PH on 5th, 9th and 12th May!

Refreshed the website every few hours every day until afternoon of 14th May when it changed to pending approval.

3 hours later received email with approval 😃

So all done in 4.5 working days 👍

Could someone send me the link to the Thai e visa site. Also how long does it take to be approved for a 90 day O. Thanks in advance

Is there anyone who applied for a DTV in Ho Chi Minh City on March 25, 2025? I applied on that date, but my status is still “Pending Document Check.” I’m wondering how long it usually takes to get approved. Could anyone share your experience? I am kinda worry right now and I still need to change my flight.

Thanks in advance!
