What embassy do you recommend in this situation:

- Family of 4, Dutch nationality, already in Thailand for almost 6 months. We want to apply for DTV in the next few weeks. Somewhere in Asia, doesn’t really matter where…but we think chances are better in a embassy, not with e-visa.

- Long term rental contract available until 15th January (extendable).

- We are both business owners (not freelance) and can work fully remote. We have invoices, client contracts, notary approved documents of the founding of our companies (both 50/50 owners). We can provide any document with company stamp, etc.

Also company balances available with over €100k in reserves.

- Only thing is: we do not have bank statements with 500.000 Baht for longer than 1 month. Both parents have the 500.000 Baht in their private accounts, but it is there for around 3-6 weeks. We keep our reserves not on our checking accounts but invest or keep in our companies. I know they do not approve crypto, but we can also provide a substantial amount in crypto portfolios.

We can provide bank statements for 6 months showing what we paid for during our travels in Thailand. We spend about €5000-€6000 a month on rent, shopping, hotels, groceries in Thailand.

We are thinking about going to Taipei because the processing seems quick. Would you recommend both parents apply for the DTV at once? Or one parent gets the DTV and other parent and kids apply later as dependents?

Thanks for tips and suggestions!

Got approved in Austria 🇦🇹 in the category workcation, freelancer.

Created a professional remote work portfolio and added all documents I thought would be useful including:

- Company certificate that these exist

- income tax return of my company and salary slip of my employment of the last 2 years,

- remote work agreements signed by business partner and employer (created by myself)

- bank statement from the last month to proof the 500.000 THB (I transferred the money in that month to this account)

In the portfolio I have shown my areas of responsibilities, the online work tools (Canva, Notion, Microsoft Office) I use with screenshots, explained what my tasks are in the company and my motivation for remote work.

They asked for the bank statements of the last 6 month of my company after 4 days and in total the application took 10 days. The visa fee is 350€.

If someone has any questions please feel free to ask! I hope it helps, I haven't seen a post about Austria yet.

Received my 5 year DTV approval yesterday via email!

Submitted 24/09/24 via Thai E-Visa website, received in 3 days.

US Consulate - Los Angeles , I am American citizen

Paid: $400 USD

Documents provided:

Proof of location: State drivers license

Proof of funds: One month bank statement showing beginning and ending balance of $18,000 USD + 401k quarterly statement showing balance well over that amount. I did redact account numbers and sensitive info by crossing off with marker

Proof of remote work: I have an LLC, submitted business license from Secretary of State as well as typed Remote work policy that I signed as Managing member of the LLC. I will include full remote work policy doc.

That's it, they did not ask for any further docs, just approved it. Couldn't be happier :)

Asking specifically about Jakarta —

Do you pay upfront? Or do you pay on pickup?

I seem to remember someone saying they paid the visa fee at pickup, and that would be super convenient for me as I’m needing to exchange money.

Good morning, okay now I'm going to be in Taipei in November so I'm thinking I'm just going to apply while I am there fingers crossed that it can still be done in person in one day.

I have a few things I might be worried about till I was wondering if anyone could give me the email address for the Consulate in Taipei I'm legally blind and seem to be struggling to find it

Some potential concerns I have.

I own my own as Corporation registered business within the US what documents is it that I need to provide to show that that is my source of income.

Do I need to prove source of income because I just do s distributions as needed so it is not a consistent payment schedule.

I have just changed Banks with my main account so therefore I do not have 6 months of active statements I have other bank accounts where there's less activity to no activity.

Thank you for all of your help

I’m applying for DTV in Taipei or HCMC end of October/early Novemebr.

I have cover letter, letter from employer, bank accts with necessary money + highlighted direct deposits into my bank acct from my employer, USA drivers license, house rental contract in Thailand, and USA passport, birth certificates for all 4 kids and marriage certificate for my wife.

I’m coming off a 1 year work permit here in Thailand. Been living here for 2 years.

3 questions

Where is a printable DTV visa form? (All I can find online is E visa form)

Do I need a form for each of my kids and wife for their follower on my DTV? Or do I just give embassy their passports with my application?

Do I pay 10,000baht for each of my family members too?

Any recommendation on HCMC vs Taipei?

Thanks in advance. I’ll let you know how it went.
