I translate for those non French speakers who might be interested.
I did the DTV in Jakarta a couple of months ago when it was still a walk in embassy, and they took my bank slips in French. It seems pretty obvious and easy to understand with no translation.
Be careful however because what can be acceptable in one embassy may be rejected elsewhere.
J’ai fait le visa à Jakarta à l’époque où c’était en physique. Ils ont accepté mes relevés BNP sans traduction. En vrai c’est suffisamment parlant je pense sans traduire.
they considered you have been abusing the system of visa exemption. But normally the last times you tried to enter they already warned you, didn’t they?
I think it should be ok if you enter with DTV and it should not impact your capacity to apply for it.
I see Russians being like that and also Chinese. But Germans, Spaniards, French, Brit’s do everything alone. Same for me as a Frenchman. If I can do alone, why I would bother stick to someone to get help!
