About dependent DTV visa

Hi everyone, I’d like to ask for some advice.

I currently hold a DTV visa that I obtained in Vietnam in 2025, and now I’m planning to apply for a dependent DTV visa for my son.

Do I need to go back to Vietnam for his application, or can I apply from another nearby country, such as Indonesia or the Philippines? (I’ve already been to Vietnam several times and would prefer a different location.)

Also, since it has been about a year since I got my DTV, should I resubmit the same documents I used before, or do I need to prepare a completely new set (e.g., bank statements, employment proof, etc.)?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everyone, I need some advice from all of you already get approve. I'll apply DTV Visa next month. What is the best Idea, I mean which one apply from Vietnam or apply from Indonesia?

Throughout the entire process, the team at Thai Visa Solutions was incredibly patient and professional. We were quite worried and even a bit aggressive at times because the process took longer than usual due to the election period in Thailand. However, the agent remained calm, supportive, and reassuring.

In the end, everything was successfully approved, and we truly appreciate their guidance and professionalism.

I highly recommend Thai Visa Solutions THAI VISA Solutions

Looking for experiences for Jakarta Softpower.

I am in Indonesia now and want to apply for a soft power DTV (Muay Thai).

I am hearing mixed experiences for the embassy of Jakarta. My Muay Thai school is telling me, they do want a proof you have trained Muay Thai before. But I haven't, but would love to try. Thought of doing a 6 month course with a reputable certified gym.

Also I'm hearing that they do an interview. No problem with that in general, but I'm at Bali and do not really appreciate to fly there on a very short notice?

Any experiences of people with softpower Muay Thai?

Did you get the DTV for a 6 month course (or only METV)?

I plan to apply for the DTV from Bali to the Jakarta embassy, staying for 1 month. After visa approval, I would go to Malaysia for 2 months and then to Thailand. For last place of embarkment, should I enter Malaysia, or would that be a problem when I'm applying from Indonesia?

Hi everyone. Currently applying on Jakarta Embassy and I just received an email today for further document(s). Background story: I'm a native Indonesian living in Bali, applying at Jakarta Embassy under Workcation category.

That being said, I believe I need no stay permit from Indonesian Immigration since I'm a native Indonesian myself and I already write them down on my cover letter. Would that be a good solution if I provide them either my passport cover page or national ID Card? P.S. I already provide them a 3-month invoice of my apartment rent in Bali.

Any leads will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello everyone. Hope you are well. I have an interview in a few days for digital nomad DTV in Jakarta, Indonesia. What they might ask? Will be grateful for any information

Anyone have recent experience of applying for DTV from Indonesia or Malaysia?

I'm spending February on Lombok and March in Johor Bahru.

Got to decide where to apply from. Need to consider processing times and possibility of attending an interview (Jakarta/KL).

Alternatively I could just apply for a Thailand tourist visa while in Malaysia. This would be necessary because of my recent travel history (no further exemptions).

And then apply for a DTV from the UK in the summer.

Grateful for any insights 🙏

Hello, I would like to ask for some advice.

I arrived in Indonesia on the November 27th. I applied for the DTV visa on December 1. On December 12, the Embassy requested additional documents. On December 18, I received an interview email, and I attended the interview on December 19.My Current status is Pending Approval after attend the Interview.

My current visa will expire on the 26th Dec, so I am feeling very unsure about what to do next. I am wondering whether I should email the Embassy to inform them that my visa will expire on the 26th and politely request an update on the result.

Since December 25 is Christmas and a public holiday, I am also unsure whether any emails will be received or replied to.

If it is appropriate to contact the Embassy, I would like to know which email address I should send my message to. I would also like to ask whether it is possible to extend my visa here in Indonesia.

Thank you very much.
