Hi everyone, I'm about to travel to Taiwan to apply for the DTV visa.

I would appreciate it if you could share your experiences regarding the following:

1. Assuming my original documents are not in English, do they require an official translation with a notary's signature and stamp?

2. Is the visa fee only payable if I am approved? In other words, if my application is rejected, do I not have to pay?

Thank you very much!

Just submitted paperwork in person at Jakarta

I’m hoping everything gets approved since they took my money 💰

Hello.

At which embassies in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia can I visit for drop-in services for a DTV application without needing to book an appointment in advance?

When and which of these embassies will require online applications?

How is the 10,000 thb fee to be paid—can it be paid in their local currency or in Thai baht?

Can the fee be paid by debit card, or should it be paid in cash?

Thank you in advance.

FYI - Been for my appointment at vientiane and they require 3 months of 500k showing in your account.

I have submitted my visa application to the Thai embassy in Sydney, I have confirmation of lodgement and visa no.

I did not see any provision to pay the 60 Australian dollar fee,it is the 60day tourist visa I applied for. The acknowledgement email it says it may take 5 /7 days before I hear of acceptance of visa ,when do they take the payment.

Report: Non O dependent visa for US Wife aquired in Penang a couple weeks ago.

This was our experience...

I'm US citizen on a retirement extension.

She's under 50, also a US citizen on a 30 day tourist, with a 30 extension.

We flew to Penang and booked a room for a week just in case there were issues.

Monday morning we showed up at the consolate 30 - 40 min early and there was already a huge line OUTSIDE and it was going to rain.

A lady saw us in line and said we should be in the shorter foreigner line. So we moved to the proper line where there were more western looking people. The other line was Chinese I was told.

There are no signs or order to the Queues sadly. THERE ARE NO AREAS TO MAKE COPIES OR TAKE PHOTOS NEARBY, so be prepared.

They finally let everyone in, Chinese first and the small visa room fills up quickly. We had our form filled out ahead of time and they didn't look at it (yet), instead handed us a Check list sheet which is NOT on the website. They tell us to fill it out.

We fight our way through the crowd to a table area and fill out the check list form. There are no Queue numbers, it's first come first serve.

We go back to the line where we were, and hand her all of our docs and she looks them over and tells us to wait.

We wait for an hour or so. They call my wife and tell her she is missing a copy of my passport visa stamp page. It was in the packet we gave her but now it was lost. Luckily I make 3 copies of everything, so I pulled it out and gave her a backup copy.

We wait another hour or so and they call us up and tell us to come back tomorrow at 2pm - 4pm(?) When this happens it tends to mean they had all the correct documents needed. At this time we paid the fee in Cash (THERE ARE NO ATMS nearby).

There was a huge rain storm at this point outside and some of the staff actually drove us to the Paragon mall and would not take any money for the trip. Very kind of them!
