Anyone applied the DTV visa in Manila using soft power option recently ?

We are planning to apply in Manila (plan to stay there for 10-14 days) at the beginning of next month, wondering if anyone could share some recent experience.

We are gonna enroll to the Discover Thai Nature seminar ( [members only] ) for the DTV visa, the seminar said they do not have experience from Manila so I am still thinking if Manila is a good option or we should apply in Hanoi, Vietnam instead

🚨 DTV Visa Rejections – Let’s Learn from Every Experience! 🚨

I’ve seen many inspiring success stories about DTV visa approvals, which is fantastic—we’ve all learned so much from them. But what about those who faced rejections? 🤔

If your DTV application got rejected, please share your experience:

* What was the reason for rejection?

* Which consulate did you apply at?

By consolidating these experiences here, we can create a valuable resource for everyone going through the process. I know we can search the group for “rejected,” but having everything in one place would make it even more helpful and insightful for all.

Let’s support each other—every story, whether a win or a challenge, is worth sharing. Drop your experiences in the comments! 👇

ALERT! CONSULATES PLAYING NASTY GAMES!

Any Experience dealing with any Consulate in the region? we have been told by a couple of them that if I am not a national here I need to have Residence in the area they serve (Cambodia, Thailand...), however they dont tell exactly what that means or how to get it, all they keep saying is to send them photos of our passport, visa and/or any other document to proof residence; to what they say: "it is not what it is needed" and stop replying...

I want to apply for a one year, Non Immigrant O-A visa, at Thai consulate in US. Application by mail seems to take a long time (two weeks). I plan to apply in person. I live in Oakland, CA. I would apply in person in LA, or NY (if i am allowed to apply in NY given my CA residence). Anybody has recent experience doing so?

Which consulate in the region is considered the 2nd most ‘serial SETV’ friendly?

Going for my 6th SETV, last one was Vientiane, hence asking for the 2nd beat option, as I prefer to not go back to back
