Got my DTV approved in taipei through soft powers. It has been a hell, they require you to be employed and show dozens of documents (work contract, certificate of employment, company license authorized with seals, pay slips going into your account, certifications from the gym that are out of ordinary). Despite of showing them all (plus a bank account with 1M) I still got an interview (which took place 2 weeks after submitting the documents for the first time) which felt everything but relaxed with most of the questions related to my job (I applied for soft powers but it doesn't seem there's much difference here). It might be better than malaysia or japan but do yourself a favor, don't apply here. I repeat, don't apply here because they are extra picky. ps: if you think you still wanna get a shot cuz your documents are perfect plz read what I wrote above, avoid this embassy

Hi! Has any Myanmar nationals successfully applied for a DTV from Taipei? Is Taiwan still visa on arrival for Myanmar nationals? I went to the Taiwan Embassy in Bangkok and they told me I had to apply for a visa but I have read online its visa on arrival. Would be great to know as deciding where to apply for the DTV from.

Very easy and professional process in Taipei, Taiwan. Visited the embassy at 9AM this morning. Got approved at 3:30PM same day. Will pick-up passport at 4PM tomorrow!

Hello, I hope someone in the group could answer my question. For those who applied for a DTV in Taipei, is the application form available online or is it only available at the embassy? Thank you.

DTV Soft Power Rejected (Sport Training), Phnom Penh Embassy

- USA Passport

- 1 week waiting time

- When i applied, they accepted all documents and $400 USD within literally 1 minute.

- ZERO explanation for rejections and they don’t respond to questions either. They just repeat Thailand rejected it.

- At no point did they contact me and request additional documents, an interview, etc.

- Visa fee thankfully refunded

Documents provided:

- 1 month bank statement dated end of August: $18,000 balance (~600k THB)

- 6 months brokerage statement dated end of August: Average balance $200,000 over 6 months (~7,000,000 THB)

Letter stamped and signed from my badminton club stating the following:

- I am a former member

- ALREADY PAID for 4-month Unlimited Membership AND 8 Private Coaching sessions

- Official receipt showing amount paid, start and end dates of my membership.

Now I’ve literally wasted money for the badminton sport training. Btw i am a former semi-professional badminton player so it’s not like this is some random choice.

What are my options? Repeat the process at a different embassy? Is there a waiting period until one can re-apply?
