Anonymous participant 986 Why not? My last entry processed by a female and no probs and have had many other entries processed by females with no issues.
You should decide where you want to apply first, then start preparing your application. Each embassy has different application requirements. Check the posts for tips.
You can apply nearby to Thailand , eg Vietnam, Cambodia. Basically show how you operate your online business, business registration, income. DTV is good if you frequently in/out of Thailand as they are restricting frequent visits without a visa
Shandy Donner That is up for debate, about IO not knowing about your DTV option. From my experience I say otherwise and is in keeping with other countries where I have worked.
