It's my turn to say that my DTV has been approved. I applied as a digital worker applicant and I applied at the Lisbon Embassy. Eighteen days for approval but I pushed the situation because everything happens slowly in Portugal, even if it's not Portuguese. 😌 Here's the details:

Sept 17 6pm applied

Sept 29 9pm I emailed asking for status update

Sept 29 12am embassy emailed for a longer job description

Sept 30 2am emailed supporting documents

Oct 4 9:30 am I emailed to confirm they got my documents

Oct 5th 4:30pm email with approved visa

I have been on an expired PT residency visa for almost a year and after waiting more than a year for a renewal appt. I attended that appt and was told it would be another 6 months for an answer if approved and my card. That is a 1.5 year wait for a 3 yr residency card and in 17-18 days I got a 5 yr Thai visa! For all those people in the EU that says you have to be patient with EU bureaucratic systems take a look at efficiency of other countries immigration. The info I needed for my PT renewal appt was the EXACT same documents I needed for the DTV as well. I'm super excited!

Has anyone had success applying using seminars for soft power?
