Has anyone had a DTV, and then been successful in obtaining a work permit? I am in the middle of a work permit process, and its so slow that i got the DTV in the mean time. I'm hoping it doesn't affect the process in any way. And. I'm aware that you can only have one visa at a time.

I'm on a muay thai DTV, so there's nothing work related in Thailand with it so far.

Thanks.

So I've decided to go with a Muay Thai DTV. I've found a gym in Bangkok and have all my requirements in order. My nearest embassy is in Washington DC but I also plan on traveling in Asia a bit before heading to Thailand. Is there an advantage in applying in your home country or elsewhere? I'm going to be in Manila and Jakarta anyway so thinking about applying there.
