Can I apply for dependants on my DTV from a different country?

Andi ***********

It is not an issue to apply for the dependent visa elsewhere, many have done so. I would think twice about Penang though. Malaysia is the most difficult embassy for approval as many posts confirm. Much easier to apply in Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos.

How can I apply for a DTV in Thailand while living in Ethiopia and bring my Ethiopian dependents?

Andi ***********

You would need to check with the Nairobi embassy if you can apply as a non permanent resident. If yes, your family can apply as dependents upon your approval. If you apply in America, you need to check that your family as non perm residents can apply as dependents.

What should I do if my bank account is frozen after receiving a DTV visa in Thailand?

Andi ***********

All banks allow owners to open an account for the purchase of a condo. There are posts by condo owners in the threads detailing how they got accounts opened/reopened. Branch managers differ though in dealing with the account opening. I don't have a condo but know several who do Inc DTVERS.

What are the benefits of using a visa service for obtaining a DTV in Thailand?

Andi ***********

AI is a tool, it does give wrong answers at times but the individual should know to doublecheck. AI is used by govts, law firms, banking etc and is here to stay. What needs to improve is how people use it but it is not useless. Grok is a more advanced model as Peter outlines.
