Went 2 weeks ago. Requirements were to pass DLT e learning, medical certificate of good health and certificate of residence from immigration x2 (i needed 1 TM16 for driving and 1 for motorcycle). I didnt specifically.ask but was given nearly 6 years because the expiry date was rounded up to my birrhday.

Select the other "option" as the return travel method and put "DTV holder" in the text box.

180 days but there's a 90 day report. First one has to be done in person, second one can be online i think 🤔

Maybe people are upset that DTV holders circumvented the elite visa.

From all the information posted here seems that if you get the visa from outside your home country then there are more questions.

Anonymous participant here is how I would have handled the situation. Q) When the immigration officer is annoyed about my handing over the visa when he did not ask for it A) apologize for the mistake because it is his country and I have to show respect to officials. Q) When asked about why I got the DTV in Vietnam A) Give the actual reason I was in Vietnam and be prepared to show evidence of my activities there. Responding that "someone said I could get a visa in Vietnam" doesn't answer the question. Having then realised he was getting annoyed about his issue with process you then decided to avoid answering his questions. Then you anonymously complain on facebook and start justifying your behaviour. All of which means you are hiding things and using them to provoke other people.

Anonymous participant you're asking me how to reply simply when your first comment clearly stated that you gave no explanation whatsoever as to what you were doing in Vietnam. All your previous explanation states is your legal entitlements to apply for the dtv there and no explanation as to why you were actually in Vietnam. As someone who used to work in government- skirting around questions is immediately suspicious. Never underestimate peoples ability to get upset about surprising things and don't expect too much.
