@Thomas *******

this "extension" process sounds like a bigger headache to me than dragging my wife and kids to Kuala Lumpur for a few days and back, assuming money isn't an issue. To each their own, though.

Who told you Kenya is "restricted"? Why would Kenya be a "restricted country for DTV" if Nigeria (and many other African countries) aren't? I'm African, by the way, and so far I'm not aware of any "restrictions" on us. Got mine in Abuja (Nigeria) but my permanent address is in Ghana. A Nigerian couple also posted about their success here about 2 weeks ago.

@Elías *******

can you screenshot or paste the "ineligible" list from the official website here? I can't find it.

@Elías *******

oh really? Which other ones are ineligible? I checked on the official website and could not find such a list. It was important to me because I'm also from a heavily sanctioned country, but was approved.

@Dom *******

not "cancelled". If an extension is refused you're allowed to just exit and renter, no questions asked. Source: that MFA guy on YouTube.

@Elías *******

I swear some folks just prefer complicated things

There are no "ineligible" nationalities for the DTV, despite some websites claiming to list so-called "eligible" passport countries. If you search here somebody from Bangladesh got it, but he works in another country, which, then again is the point of the DTV.

It's best if she has residence in another country. Where does she live?

A Syrian posted about his experience in that old Reddit DTV thread from last July (it's now archived). He was a resident in a neighboring Arabic country (can't remember exactly which). He had a rough ordeal and his application dragged on pending document check for months until he was finally approved around September.

@Dave ****

what exactly were you asked, and did you have to "show all your original documents" like is mentioned in this post?
