For British passport holders who applied for and were granted a DTV visa through the online application, what did you enter in the ‘Place of Issue’ field?

For those who have successfully obtained their DTV with a Hong Kong passport.

I’m going to apply in Hanoi soon and would like to ask — as a Hong Kong passport holder, what should I write in the ‘Place of Issue’ field? Should it be ‘China’ (the code of the issuing state) or ‘Hong Kong’ (the issuing authority)? Both are shown on the passport’s bio-data page.

Thank you!

Hi everyone 😁 ! I’m preparing for my DTV visa application for next week in Hanoi and have another question that seems to be ambiguous for many people.

I have French passport and there is no “place of issue” inside but I have these sections :

- a country code : FRA

- an Authority : Préfecture de l’Ille-et-Vilaine RENNES

(That’s in France but that seems really long…)

Some people say to just write you country of origin.

Please can French people or people who had a similar situation and already submitted and GET APPROVED advise me on this cause I read a lot of things and it’s unclear…

THANK YOU everyone 😌🙏 have a great day !

Hello everyone, I know this question has been asked plenty of times but my situation doesn’t quite align with the similar ones found in search. I am applying in Ho Chi Minh as a remote worker. The question is the place of issue for the passport, my mexican passport issued in Shanghai has a remark about issuing state code as MEX and just a remark in the right bottom as SHANGHAI. Is it correct to select Shanghai as place of issue even if on the passport there are no exact remarks for this as “place of issue”? Thanks so much in advance

Can you edit the application at the embassy? I put the place of issue as Shanghai since this is where the passport was issued. Doesn't make sense to me that I would need to put America because it's an American passport, they know it came from America. Same with any other country. Why have that on there if the answer is just the country of the passport?

It's a holiday here so no one will look at it until Monday. So I plan to go there first thing in the morning to change it.

I am applying for the dtv online in Los Angeles. Under travel documents, I selected passport. It asks for Place of Issue. Does anyone know what I'm supposed to put here? Do I put Los Angeles? Or USA? Or do I put what it says under Authority which is the United States Department of State. Thanks in advance.

Hey all, thanks in advance for the help:

"Place of Issue", when entering the passport details.

My GF has a Chinese passport, that she had issued in Bangkok when she got it renewed. So on the DTV application, she put "Bangkok" for place of issue. It states this on her passport.

She just got her application cancelled after waiting 12 days:

**

"Your visa application has been cancelled. Applicant’s passport holder and nationality provided is incorrect with passport biodata page."

**Should she just put China? Anyone have experience with this detail? I can't imagine any other entry on that page could be incorrect to cause this problem.

The cancellation didn't give any detailed explanation or a way to correct the problem, frustrating. Any help would be appreciated as we want to reapply asap.

US passport holders - for Place of issue, am I supposed to put "United States", or "United States Department of State"?

Application Poland

Hi, there is a field called ‚place of issue’ in passport details.

However, in polish passport I have only the information called ‚organ wydajacy’.

Could anybody share what value they inserted there?

Hello,

For those who have received the DTV e VISA from the Paris Embassy. In the “Place of issue” section of the passport, have you indicated the city and country of the complete sentence so that it is exactly the same as the one on the passport?
