To those who got their passport abroad, what did you type in "place of issue"? My passport doesn't have this field so I'm struggling because of the posts of several people who got their application cancelled because they filled in the country where the passport was issued. My passport has the voice "Authority". Should I type in what it's written there? I mailed the embassy which replied me "Fill in the form in full accordance with the information in your passport". Please only replies from those who have already applied in a situation similar to mine. Thanks

Hi everyone,

I’d like to say that this group and everyone’s comments and experiences have been really helpful—thank you so much!

What I want to know is: how should I write the “place of issue”? I think “Osaka” is fine for me since my passport was issued there ( Japanese passport )

I’m planning to apply in Indonesia soon. Has anyone gotten approved in Jakarta? I’ve seen some similar comments in this group, but I’d like to hear directly from someone who has already been approved in Jakarta and what they wrote for the “place of issue.”

Thank you so much in advance!

I am currently in the process of applying for my DVT through freelance work. I have a UK passport, I am from London. Can someome please advise what the "Place of Issue" would be? I've seen a few post about this being the cause of some people's application being cancelled. Any help appreciated 🙏🏻

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.
