Finally it's my turn to get my DTV approved.

I used Issa Compass as my agent as I don't want to go through all the process with stress - but at the end it was still quite stressful. A week before I leave Thailand, I uploaded all documents which the agent asked for.

1/10 - I left Thailand, fly back to Hong Kong coz I'm HK resident. Uploaded my boarding pass to them on the same day;

2/10 - They submitted my DTV application;

3/10 - They asked for additional document (the ID copied of the HR manager from my remote job and the BR of my company), submitted on the same day;

14/10 - They found out name of the HR manager on the employment contract is not exactly the same like on her ID copied, so they asked for a proof that they are the same person, so I sent them the proof on the same day;

15/10 - I get my DTV approved!

I was a bit unlucky that 1/10 and 7/10 were public holiday in HK so it took longer than it should be? Deducted the holiday and weekend, it took 9 working days (longer than I expected).

Conclusion: If you are not a HK resident, really there is no point to apply from HK. I wanted to save money so I stayed with my parent's apartment but still everything else is insanely expensive. If i can choose again, definitely I will apply from Vietnam. More, probably I will not use agent again, they actually help you to check your document and submission. If you are a detail person you can do as good as the agent and you can always see the status directly from Thai e-visa system instead of waiting for the agent to inform you the status. I doubt if they really submit the stuff immediately and check the status closely.
