I'm a German citizen (and passport holder) currently in Germany.

I have a company registered in Hong Kong and my bank account with the necessary funds has the company name on it (not my name). Is that a problem when applying for the DTV?

Hello everyone, i have all the documents needed to apply for my non b visa but in the application its stated that i need a document indicating current location. What document would that be? Thank you

Hello again, all.

If I'm heading to Vietnam to apply for the DTV (I'm currently in Thailand) should I include the address of the accommodation in Vietnam on the cover letter, or my permanent address back in the UK (I haven't been there for years)?

Any tips on what I should/shouldn't include in the letter? I work remotely and have the funds etc.

Cheers

Can I get a re-entry visa at the airport,when flying out...how much please?

Hi, back in December I asked a similar question but now I dig into details (I know about bt 800.000 wired from abroad, the seasoning and the bt 65.000 option).

Now, if I enter TH with a 90 day non-O Retirement Visa, have the bt 800.000 in my bank for well over 2 months, could I ask for 12 months Extension of stay shortly after I enter or do I need to respect a certain period before applying (I am aware that I “waste” approved time but I have a reason)?

Hi everyone! I plan on moving in July and just wanted some feedback as to how early should I start my DTV? Is applying now too early or should I wait till like a month out?

DTV Succes Story from Penang, Malaysia.

I applied under the workcation scheme as an employee of a company I co-own.

The first round of extra documents requested where some questions about my work, whether I have an office in Thailand, and how often I travel there. The second request was for more details about my work and a sample of it.

Thanks a lot to this forum for providing useful answers about the process.

Guys, I’m over the moon right now! 😭🎉 I finally got my visa today 4.40pm, January 17th! I started my application on Sunday, the 12th, in HMC, and after just one week, the long-awaited email arrived at 4:40 PM today! On Tuesday, they requested some additional details about my company (Workation with my own business), and that was it.

Thank you all so much for your help and support along the way! 🙏

My workation DTV Visa application has been approved by the Ho Chi Minh embassy in Vietnam.

I submitted my application via the evisa system, and it took 5 days to receive the application approval email. No extra documents requested.

I read a lot of useful information in this group, so I am sharing my experience to help others. Here are the documents I included:

## Proof of current location:

1. Vietnam passport stamp

2. Hotel booking confirmation

3. Selfie outside hotel in Vietnam

4. Flight to Thailand

## Proof of employment:

1. Cover letter describing my business and how it functions entirely remotely.

2. Business registration document

3. Certificate of Incorporation

4. Signed document appointing myself as director

5. Screenshots of stripe payouts and gross volume.

6. Screenshots of the business website, and stripe analytics page.

## Personal documents:

1. Passport bio data page

2. Two bank account statements, each with 500k+. Showing 6 months of data.

Other Points:

* The maximum file size for the PDF documents is 3MB. You can also only upload one document for each section. I used adobe acrobat to compile the files, you can select "reduce file size" at export to keep it well below 3MB.

* Double check all of your details are entered correctly. I have seen other applications get rejected for not adding their middle name for example. Rejection = pay the application fee again.

* Recently, I noticed many posts of embassies requesting more documents. One is 6 months of bank statements, and the other is a booked flight to Thailand. Make sure to include these to avoid the extra trouble.

Feel free to comment any questions and I'll do my best to help.

Hi everyone.

I'll be finally going to hanoi for the DTV next week. I kept track of some earlier posts but just want to know how long does the whole DTV procedure in Hanoi take recently? Will 2 weeks be sufficient? I wanna have an estimate to book accommodations, don't want to fumble last minute. Thanks.
