Has anybody who is not originally from the Philippines successfully applied for the DTV while in the Philippines? I checked the requirements for the E-Visa application in Manila and for me (German) it says that I need a "Copy of Philippine Visa" - Does that mean my tourist visa stamp in my passport? I also have an ACR-I card but that is only stated as a requirement for nationals from mostly African and Middle Eastern countries) so I don't know if that counts.

Also, would you advise that I stay in Manila during the application process, just in case they need me to appear in person, or can I just stay in Cebu?

And lastly, when I apply, it states that I need to enter flight number and intended duration of stay (despite selecting DTV) - What should I enter here? a date 5 years in the future?

I already e-mailed the embassy but they just replied with copypasta and links to information that I already had.

Thanks!

Hey all thanks in advance for advice. This is a very nerve-racking week and need any final insights.

I had my EDU visa cancelled for June 15th and the same day I plan to fly to Taiwan or Philippines.

My plan is to apply for Workation DTV visa.

I have been teaching online for 6 years now but will get my father’s (same last name) 6 months bank statements which show a couple million baht + a sponsor letter + a signed photocopy of his passport.

I will make a professional portfolio as a freelancer and bank statements + income proof for the last 6 months.

Of course there a few other required documents like copies of my own passport etc which I’ll get

But basically is there any extra advice or suggestions on Taiwan vs Philippines?

Also e-visa vs walk-in?

I will also dress quite well and look professional.

Any more advice will be much appreciated!

This is quite stressful.

Thanks all!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my experience since this group has been really helpful!

I submitted my DTV visa application in the Philippines on Monday and received it today (Thursday). I initially thought Monday would be counted as Day 1, but it turns out they started counting from Tuesday, so it only took 3 days to process!

Here are the documents I submitted:

* Contract (proof of work)

* Employment verification (confirming that I'm currently working)

* Detailed explanation of what I do + screenshots

* Bank statement (last 6 months) – I deposited a large amount in the last 4 days (around $10,000 in total) to show sufficient funds

* My previous ED visa stamp + cancellation proof

* Current rental contract (where I’m staying now)

* Philippines entry stamp + hotel booking (used my current address for this)

Since I have a Korean passport, the visa fee was $0!

thank you eveyronee

What nearby countries are recommend to apply for the visa? Vietnam ok? I've heard Laos is no bueno.

I'm planning on doing a tour going to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines and Indonesia. My plan was to use the short term tourist visas in all countries.

I want to do it twice over. So with Thailand being able to give me 90 days, after I have travelled to the other countries, I would be looking at returning about 5 months later to do the 90 days again.

Would that be ok or is it too short of a time away from the country? Also that being said, I wonder if it's also ok with the other countries? Cheers.

Can US citizen walk into the Thai embassy in Manila and get a 60 day tourist visa?

Does anyone know how to appy for a visa to philippines in Bangkok?

I'm a Chinese passport holder who living here with VOA. and i'm pretty sure we people can enter philippines with 9A visa since Apr. 1st.

The problem is in most cases we would apply for a 9A visa in China. and i'm staying in Thailand. so... 😞😞😞

Hi!

I can't get extension visa as entered Thailand with VOA two years ago, and now all long-term visa service from agencies are stopped. So I must leave Thailand in a week.

I don't wanna go back to China currently as there's still 14 days quarantine with too many restrictions, and would be difficult to get out of China again.

So I thinking of moving to another country which allow VOA, any good suggestions please? Southeast Asia preferred, Vietnam? Cambodia? But the point is the country must allow

Visa On Arrival, because I don't have any visa on my Chinese passport.

Thank you everyone! 🙏
