I would prefer online. Was weird, she told me to not give the flight details, refused to take them. Then rejected the one in front because he didn’t have it (he sajd). I would have gone to vietnam and submitted all of it as one long pdf if I did it again. The benefit of going in person is someone can check, but if someone on here can check save yourself the headache.

All she cared about with the letter is that it said: “can work online”. And for the bank statements all she cared about was the end balance abovs 500k baht. No pay slips, rejected my ‘resume’/portfolio, seemed confused I even brought it.

A guy at the embassy said he had to cancel his work permit to get the DTV. I would assume so…

I heard today it’s quite strict and is a 2 week wait, so maybe not. Taiwan seems like the best for in person as you get it that day then I like vietnam to do through evisa. I think people have said 5 day turn around. Some was 1-2 days (from memory) and less strict.

no, the embassy is in hanoi or hcm. Da nang is just an awesome beach.

I personally would go danang for a week and do there if you’re confident you will get it. Otherwise physically malaysia or taiwan if you can, or laos third.

I am from Australia (run my own company), in Jakarta all she seemed to care about is the letter saying I could work remotely. Whether was my company or not she didn’t even know (or seem to care about). Which is consistent with the requirements.
