Hello Everyone!

Is there any successful DTV holders from Pakistan?

If yes would they like to share their experience

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some advice:

I applied for the Thailand DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) from Bali (via Jakarta Embassy) on April 13. Right now I’m in Bali on an extended VOA (I'm good for 28 more days). My question is:

Do I need to stay in Indonesia while waiting for approval, or can I leave (I’m planning a trip to Japan)?

I won’t enter Thailand until the visa is approved, I'm just wondering if leaving Indonesia affects the application at all. I'm fine with coming back to Jakarta if in the rare case I'm called in for an interview. Also, if anyone here applied for the DTV through the Jakarta embassy recently, how long did your approval take? For context, I’m a US passport holder.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

Quick question about the DTV Workation visa,

Is it faster to get it in Vientiane, Hanoi, or Ho Chi Minh City?

And in your experience, which location is less likely to require an interview?

Thanks in advance for your feedback! 🙏🏻

edit: How likely is it that applicants are called in for an interview in Savannakhet? It seems to be mandatory in Vientiane — is it the same in Savannakhet?

Any recent experiences would be appreciated.

Please I sincerely need advice.

I applied for non B visa in my home country since August and waited until early October without hearing from the embassy. Then I left my country to another country while still waiting only for them to invite me for interview by November and I was already in another country hence will need to fly back. Now I've emailed the embassy to cancel the application but they've not replied me nor cancelled the application as the status is still saying request interview and I was thinking of reapplying for the same non B from my current country where I will remain present for a while and available if there's interview invite.

Please will my new intending non B application be affected by the previous application that the status is still in request interview even though the embassies are different as well as the countries?

I believe it'd be a good idea if we could post the pros and cons of every embassy. I'll start with my experience in taipei/taiwan:

Pros: they are pretty fast when it comes to check the documents. They usually reply to the emails within a few hrs.

Cons: EXTREMELY picky when it comes to check the documents, they require payslips and everything about your job even you apply for soft powers. They ask for a certificate of entry/exit in the country which requires to go to the local immigration office. They often ask for an interview which is everything but friendly. They want to check that your company pays you regularly and they want to see the money going into your account for a few months (even under soft powers)

Would I recommend this embassy? NO, It was a very stressful process, I got asked for a lot of extra documents (also from the gym) and some of them didn't even make sense. After mailing them dozens of pages, I still got asked to have an interview which took place 10 days after my documents got checked. The interview felt like a police one (why are you going to thailand, how many times have u been there, why do you want to train, have u ever trained before? where are u going to stay, how long will the contract of your condo be, how long do you want to stay in thailand, how will you support yourself, why did you apply in taiwan, how can you live there without a job and so on). I repeat, Taiwan isn't a good place to apply for a visa, it's actually a very stressful embassy

Is anyone being asked for interviews in Indonesia recently? 🙏🏼

Hi all,

Has anyone here applied for the DTV in Vientiane, Laos? I’m planning to start the process on Monday and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s done it there. 🙏🙏I’ve seen a lot of people applying from Vietnam, Cambodia, or Bali, but not so much from Laos.

Is it common for different embassies to request interviews or is I random and totally left up to their discretion.

Hello group,

(HANOI) What are the chances that after being on "pending approval" for over a week, and after they already requested a higher quality picture of my passport, they ask me for more documents or an interview?

I'm flying out of Vietnam on Monday (not to Thailand) and I'm afraid they will ask for an interview or something extra. Should I maybe send an email to check why is it taking so long?

Thanks :)
