Hi everyone, has anyone recently secured the DTV as a remote worker while in Vietnam? I’m from the U.S. but live in Bangkok and will leave for Vietnam next week to pursue the DTV. I have my offer letter stating that I’m a remote IT worker, my boss also wrote a letter to double down on that as well, I have $18k in savings that I’ve saved up the last 4 months or so. I also signed a lease on an apartment here in bangkok  I plan to stay in Vietnam at least 2 weeks. Do you think it’s enough? I don’t have 6 months of statements amounting to $18k each month.

Answer summary

A user inquired about obtaining a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) while in Vietnam, mentioning they are a remote IT worker from the U.S. living in Bangkok, with $18k in savings but lacking 6 months of bank statements. Comments from other users confirmed that they had successfully applied for the DTV without meeting the 6-month bank statement requirement, suggesting that having the total amount in savings and proper documentation (like offer letters) is sufficient. It's advised to prepare for potential follow-up requests for bank statements during the application process.

You should be okay. I submitted as a self-employed remote worker while in Saigon last month, and have been living in Bangkok with a 1-year lease since last July. I'm also from U.S. You have enough funds, just show them as many continuous bank statements of that balance. Keep in mind they my come back and ask you twice to submit those bank statements (they did to me). 2 weeks should technically be enough, if you don't hear back email them a letter in Thai and English with your DTV ID number. I made a post on this the group you can search it there.

You do not need 6 x $18K statments. A final balance of $18K and 6 months of statements is fine for Vietnam. Did you include a resume, contract of employment ?
