Hi, I had interview today at Vientiane. After that they approved a tourist visa. Is it normal? Thanks

I am a UK resident but am currently traveling in Spain. Can I still apply and claim as a UK located during the Visa process, or will this cause any issues?

I'm looking for a soft power dtv.

DTV Interview in Taipei – Seeking Advice & Insights

I’ve been asked to come in for an interview as part of my application for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Taipei, and I have to admit, I’m a bit surprised by this request. Given that my situation seems to align perfectly with the DTV’s requirements, I didn’t anticipate needing an interview.

For context, I work for an American company and want to work remotely from Thailand (because I am literally allowed to work anywhere and I have to travel anyways very often to Asia-pacific region for work, of course excluding Thailand). I’ve provided proof of my financial independence, my work contract, and the business license of the company I work for etc.

I’ve never applied for a Thai visa before and have always entered the country under the tourist exemption scheme (30 days, and recently 60 days). Therefore, I can guess maybe they have questions about my frequent entries and exits from Thailand over the past 1.5 years? The honest truth is, my business travel schedule has kept me outside the country most of the time, so I haven’t overstayed or violated any visa regulations. When I am in Chiang Mai, I’ve been living with my boyfriend (who is not Thai national but has an elite visa).

With that in mind, I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with this interview process in Taipei. I’ve read some posts, but I still woud like to ask:

1. General overview of the interview process: What’s the vibe? Is it more formal or laid-back?

2. How was the overall interview? What questions did they ask for you?

3. TM30 question: Do they ask about TM30 registrations?

I’d really appreciate any guidance or reassurance you can offer. Thank you so much to this community for your help!

Got DTV approved in Vientiane through the new evisa system. Submitted documents online on Jan 14 and had interview appointment at the consulate on Jan 17. Visa was approved right after. Thai consulate in Vientiane really seems to look into the bank statement. Had to open up the bank app on phone for the consular to check transactions against the uploaded bank statement. Not many questions otherwise. Total processing time 4 days (although I don’t think the interviews are held every day).

Hi, has anyone applied for DTV in Laos during these days and got approved? Is there an interview? May I know the process and what do they ask during the interview? I'm planning to next week for the visa run and some said Laos is difficult to apply without the agent. Thank you in advance.

Hi planning to apply from Vietnam not sure which city Hanoi , da nang or Ho Chi Minh whichi ? Thanks for your advice

hello, just to clarify - with the e-visa system is there any need to visit the embassy in person when submitting the application?

I am applying in Ho Chi Minh City

Is the submission done entirely online, and the only time that you go to the embassy is to have the Visa stamped in your passport if you are approved, or if they invite you for interview for additional information?

Hi has anyone used the embassy in Sri Lanka to apply
