Anyone got thoughts/experience getting DTV in jakarta? Either looking at doing it there as we are flying over from NZ, or we can do Sydney or somewhere in south east asia.

All thoughts appreciated!

Hi, I am wondering which embassies or consulates in Southeast Asia and South Asia are considered the most favourable when it comes to DTV applications. I think I can meet the criteria but rather not have to worry about it. Sri Lanka is one place I’d like to visit, but I’ve seen a few mixed reports on posts here. Thanks.

Hello, looking to apply for a DTV visa, though not in my home country. I’m currently in Bangkok. Do regional embassies charge the same amount for the visa/processing fees? Are some embassies more particular than others? My onward flight from Bangkok is to Kuala Lumpur—anyone applied at the embassy there? Thanks for the advice.

Can someone suggest me which country in South East Asia that process DTV workcation the fastest?

I own a US LLC and I'm employing myself to apply for the DTV. Can a "proof of stay" from a hotel can be used to apply as a "document indicating current location" in said country?

Thank you for your help.

Cheers.

Looking for the fastest turnaround, least friction DTV process (workcation):

Taipei

Hanoi

Abu Dhabi

What’s your experience? How many days?

Is there another obvious option I’m missing?

I’m a Brit, in SE Asia with UAE residency.

Thank you in advance! ❤️

What would be the best embassy to apply to in SE Asia which tends to accept majority of applications? I am receiving a sponsor for the DTV from a relative and wondered whether some embassy’s are more willing to accept this over others? Is Hanoi ok for this or would somewhere else be better? Thanks for your help
