2nd request for Further document completed.

Remarks: I tried to kinda go a bit all out with this one since I felt a bit uneasy about them giving me a 2nd document request. I had to dig up some of these documents and spent a bit more time preparing it.

I submitted the following documents, combined into a single PDF.

-small cover/explanation letter

-Letter of acknowledgement from the state of Texas about my company registration.

-Receipt from when I made the payment for the company registration, to the state of Texas.

-My credit card statement from that month showing that payment.

-The original form form from when I did the company registration.

Hi, I will apply for the dtv in 2 weeks. Just need to decide if Vietnam or Indonesia?

Any updates which country is recommended?

Thank you in advance

Hello, planning to go to Jakarta in 1 week to apply. Anyone has any experience pls with applying also for a wife and a child? Can it be done at the same time and is 500k proof of finance enough or are they requesting 500k for everyone? Thank you!

Im an American currently living in Thailand. I have all the requirements in order to apply and get approved. What countries are the best to apply from with the fastest turn around time?

I'm planning on doing a tour going to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines and Indonesia. My plan was to use the short term tourist visas in all countries.

I want to do it twice over. So with Thailand being able to give me 90 days, after I have travelled to the other countries, I would be looking at returning about 5 months later to do the 90 days again.

Would that be ok or is it too short of a time away from the country? Also that being said, I wonder if it's also ok with the other countries? Cheers.

"Everything Else"

I am considering going to Indonesia for 2 weeks end of June.

Anybody have a recommendation for facebook group similar to this one, specific to Indonesia

Specifically,

What is require for a US citizen to visit Indonesia? Insurance? Visa?
