Taipei DTV UPDATE: Same Day (or 2-3 days max) processing.
Went to Taipei’s Thailand “embassy” today and here’s what I learned
1. Foreigners can apply just with a passport and the visa application + your required documents (bank statement printed + soft power or proof of your remote work etc.
2. 9-11:30am every business day for visas, you get a number and they will call you . Drop off passport and documents
3. Within same day you’ll be notified if your visa was approved or rejected (and they will explain why)
4. PAYMENTS: You only need to pay AFTER it’s approved in cash which is incredible. The fee is actually REFUNDABLE if it doesn’t get approved.
5. The cost: 11,000 TWD (approx $360 USD)
