last week a transfer from WISE to BBank took 2 days, usually takes a few seconds. But Wise should give you a timeline of the required time.

I'd say odds are better if you send by post, avoid DHL, FedEx etc. I got my laptop through no problem with USPO delivered by Thai Post. But it's always a gamble 🎲

I wouldn't pay for any treatment until after I got my Visa, what I would do would be to contact the orthodontist that you're dealing with, have them write out a treatment plan that explains it'll be a multi-year process that goes into detail about appointments and timings, have it stamped by them and submit that. Also likely good to submit some documentation about having some initial appointments booked.

If your DTV is a permanent page in your passport, I believe you'll be carrying 2 passports.

Seems like a good read on how not to do things here. Hadn't you read much or perhaps anything about the country you had decided to move to?

There's no requirement to be working, in TPE I told them that I wasn't, although they still asked me about it in our interview.
