I flew to Taipei on Tuesday, applied Wednesday and flew to Thailand on Thursday. Currently I'm truly nomad. US citizen but traveling for the past year

@Michael ******

I did remote worker. I applied last Wednesday and received it on Thursday.

I emailed before flying there to confirm that I could apply even though I'm not a Taiwan resident. They confirmed. They did have some questions about my paperwork and also asked if I was in Taiwan just for this. (Got the feeling that this might become an issue in the future... )

Taipei or jakarta are good options. No appointments necessary. Taipei takes one or two days to issue the DTV (I did mine there). Jakarta is supposedly 3 biz days

I did this past week. Search previous posts to see my experience, process, etc.

Two days for me. Saw three other people and theirs were also two days. Everyone needed to bring additional documents and mine needed discussion regarding some of my documentation.

Can print documents at 7-11 by the way. Convenient service.

@George *****

at home for some and through 7-11 print service for other docs.

I gave as-is without redacting. It's an embassy / consulate.

@Deborah ******

the mid level is exactly what I'm at in total. Some differences in the details but overall end up at the same number. 75-85,000 baht per month.

And yes, it does vary depending on Thursday lifestyle, aircon usage, eating out vs cooking, etc. I could survive on half that but I'm quite comfortable as is, not luxury level but comfortable.

If it goes into effect it's basically the same thing as filling out the immigration cards that we used to do before. No big deal

@Jay *********

no cards to fill out at this time just arrive and go to immigration. The news articles about the online version of the card is not official yet.

@Shawn ******

sounds good to me as well. Basically I'm living on of my budget in usa. In Dallas area my monthly was about $8-9k and here is $2-2.2k. Smaller house, different foods, no car as of yet but love it here
