Hello friends,

I applied for DTV as remote worker at LA consulate mid March and around 10 days later got a request for more documentation. It’s been more than 30+ days now after submission with no update. I emailed them already 3 weeks post re-submission and still no update on the application. Still says ‘pending document check.’ If I get accepted, great. But, if I get rejected, can I walk into a consulate in Taiwan and apply there as a US citizen? It’s unfortunate that the LA consulate has taken as long as it has because I’ve heard from others that the Thai consulates in other parts of the US are processing at a much faster rate. Any advice will be appreciated.

Anyone who is or know or chinese nationals who successfully applied for dtv through jakarta embassy muay thai route?

Those who have applied and were approved did you submit each page of your bank statement or just the one final summary page?

Does anyone have experience applying from Nepal? Would extremely appreciate some info

How do you go about getting a DTV for a couple?

I know you need to be married but say my partner gets their DTV how do I get onto his as his spouse?

Or do I have to get my own?

Hi everyone,

I’d like to say that this group and everyone’s comments and experiences have been really helpful—thank you so much!

What I want to know is: how should I write the “place of issue”? I think “Osaka” is fine for me since my passport was issued there ( Japanese passport )

I’m planning to apply in Indonesia soon. Has anyone gotten approved in Jakarta? I’ve seen some similar comments in this group, but I’d like to hear directly from someone who has already been approved in Jakarta and what they wrote for the “place of issue.”

Thank you so much in advance!

What’s the best way to apply for it if you are currently in Thailand? 3 week trip in Vietnam/cambodia?

This may be a weird question.

I am a UK resident but I am in Thailand at the moment.

Why apply in Vietnam or Cambodia, when I could file all the documents online with the London Embassy. I have a UK residential address?

TIA

DTV approved from Yangon.

Along with passport and recent photo, I submitted only a screenshot of my bank balance and my 2 year remote work contract from a company in Myanmar.

emailed to come in for interview 4 days later.

I was way over prepared for the interview with many months of bank statements, visa history in Myanmar, photos of me at work, website, copies of my degrees....

Interview lasted about 3 minutes. They had about 20 people report at the same time and you had to take a queue number and wait. They asked me how long I would be in Thailand, (I'm not sure, but at least 90 days) and would I do any work in Thailand other than remote work (No). That was it.

Approval notice within the hour.

It was the same day the notice came from Yangon that they were not going to issue any further tourist visas. The company that my contract is from anticipates having trouble in the future with business visa as well. So this post maybe isn't that useful for this group. I couldn't find much info about applying in Yangon when I was researching in anticipation of my application, so I thought I would just record my experience.

Thank you all so much for the help! Successful got my DTV.

Applied from Ottawa April 11th

After a couple back and forth requesting documents

Received DTV only one week later Apr 18

If you have specific questions regarding my application to help with yours, feel free to ask.

Now I'm working on dependents
