ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The application process for a DTV visa generally requires applicants to remain in the country where they submitted their application until it is approved. Although there are anecdotal accounts of individuals applying from the US and later traveling to Thailand before approval, this is against official guidelines. Staying in the application country is crucial, as further documentation may be requested or interviews may be required.
