Your border runs won't affect your application. If you get denied, it will be because of insufficient money or that your chosen DTV activity doesn't require 5 years or access, according to the embassy you apply at.

I'm in several forums and haven't seen a single horror story of anyone being denied entry with a DTV.

But I keep seeing comments that there are "a lot of' horror stories out there. Where are they? Or is it the "The immigration officer asked why I was here, so I answered"-stuff that people are talking about?
Steve *******
It depends on the embassy you're applying at. It's usually either 1, 3 or 6 months.
Steve *******
Yes, what you have in your passport is what you put there.

Id they said no, that's a no. I emailed the HK embassy when they asked for additional documentation.

Get a pdf scanner app and scab every page. You can just reply to their email and send it in.

a visa requires an online application at an embassy and gas requirement.

The TDAC can be done on your phone in 30 seconds and the only requirement is that you need a brain.

you need to fill out an arrival card before you enter now. It takes 30 seconds and can be done after you land if you missed it.

But a lot of dingdongs in this group are trying to be "funny" instead of helpful and can't answer a question like a normal human being.

the TDAC is not a visa. It's an arrival card.
