check main DTV group

There is the DTV you can apply for away from home which gives you 6 month stays. The METV 6 mth tourist visa is from your home country.

Where are you applying? There are embassies that approve with no seasoning requirement and embassies requiring 3-6 months.

@Finn ******

It is busy and approvals are taking longer than usual recently.

Jack Coosto The DTV 3-month seasoning requirement is dependent on where you apply.

Others have used the course to get the DTV; their posts are in the threads.

No, you contact the SP provider and they should be able to provide their business registration and other docs required for DTV approval.

Multiple accounts are acceptable but for easer approval having just the one is best.

You apply online from Jakarta, but you can be in Bali and do it. I think Jakarta is a bit faster around 7 business days .

Laos and Cambodia are good options but note Cambodia can take up to a month for approval. Laos is around 10 -15 business days. Indonesia is another great option. You do not need a law firm to submit your application. You can look thru the threads and find everything you need for a successful application yourself., You can apply as a freelancer, without registration for yourself. Submitting the business registration of the company you work for will strengthen your application. 3 months invoices with the client should be suffice, provide a cover letter detailing that is how long you have worked for them.
