Anonymous participant Approvals differ depending on the embassy. Malaysia is strict on having 6 months of accommodation booked in Thailand along with 3-6 months seasoned 500k THB for the main applicant. i imagine them requiring the same, for a dependent. Check first before applying there.
Anonymous participant Henrik is a great believer in applying in your own country despite the visa designed to be applied for anywhere in the world. You can find posts of dependent DTVss issued in a country different to the main applicant with no problem or risk.
Anonymous participant Yeah, in general a dependent visa is easier and quicker than the original. Don't you need 6 mths of accommodation booked ? Did you check with Penang embassy?
