Hello hello!
I have a question on the DTV visa: do you need to be in your country of residence when applying or can you be in your nationality/passport/birth country.
I’m a UK National but with residency in the UAE. I’m planning to come to thailand in sept for probably longer than 3 months and was thinking the DTV would be a great option.
I’m currently in the UK and when I go to apply for the DTV it says I can apply online on the basis my *current location* is in the UK. My concern is they view my current location as my residency which is not the case.
If I apply through the UAE I have to apply in person at the consulate and then have my passport taken away etc etc which seems a lot more hectic. My plan was to leave the UK in sept, stop by in the UAE for a few days and then come to thailand until roughly around Christmas and if I like it (which I hope I will) return after NYE.
Any advice would be much appreciated ✨
