Hello.

I'm in bit of a tricky situation, I applied for a DTV Visa (Remote Worker) at the HCMC, Vietnam Embassy.

Now there was an additional document request and after that its been on "Pending Approval" since last monday.

Now problem is my vietnam visa expires on 5th November, now im hoping somehow miraculously it gets approved before my visa expires, but if not what is my best choice?

1) Overstay few days? And pay the fine

2) Fly back to another country and stay there

3) Do a visa run, go to laos and come back to vietnam with a new visa

Assume im not in vietnam, will my DTV visa get cancelled? (Or is that only if i enter thailand)

And yes i have tried emailing, messaging, calling the embassy regarding my situation few days ago but havent gotten a response yet.

Hi, I’ve got a question. Can I travel around the country while my visa’s still being processed? I applied using a hotel in Phnom Penh, but I’ll be checking out soon and want to go to Siem Reap. Thanks in advance.

How long before my 180 days is over should I go over to the immigration for extension? Is there a time limit?

Hi folks,any Australians been asked by their Australian banks (mines Westpac) to provide a Thai Tax Identication Number?

I'm a retired pensioner on a Non O Retirement Visa and have been here over 180 days.

The request came about ..apparently..because I registered a Thai phone number..linked to my Thai bank accounts.

Sounds a bit serious as they're saying that they could block my account..in Australia..if I don't provide the required information.

Any feed back is appreciated .

Hello guys I wanted to share my experience applying for the workation DTV in Jakarta.

Timeline:

Arrived in Jakarta on 20.October 25

6 am and immediately applied online. And payed around 11-12k THB but in IDR.

30.October 25: Status changes from document check pending to pending approval.

Maybe 5 hours later it changed to approved am I got the email.

Documents used:

Proof of funds:

Bank statements from Revolut showing 13.5k in EUR which is a little more than 500k THB for 4 months (think 3 really is enough but I did it for 4 months just to be save)

Proof of location:

I prepared a pdf with following things:

- screenshot of flight booking

- screenshot of hotel booking

- Picture of boarding pass

- Picture of visa on arrival + passport (you have to pay the visa on arrival on a separate booth before the immigration. If you show the visa to the officers you will get a stamp in the passport if you use the machines no stamp but you still have the slip from visa on arrival)

- Picture of a slip from a purchase at the airport and my ID on the same picture.

Portfolio:

- Cover letter explaining why I want to do workation why Thailand all data of company like tax registration no. How long its registered name of website.

- Screenshots of my website with the services I offer

- CV

You only can upload one PDF for portfolio so I put all in one file and converted it to PDF.

I hope that helps a little bit after reading so many bad news

Hello. Has anyone managed to book a ticket on the official Thai Railway website? Apparently, train reservations are only possible the day before the travel date?

Is there any actual requirement for how long the 500,000THB must be in your account for? I’m seeing nothing online about there having to be a strict time frame however it seems they’re less likely to accept if less payslips? Thanks for your help!
