How did a Singaporean on a Non-O extension successfully apply for a DTV in Jakarta?

Singaporean On a Non-O Extension (Spouse) Applying for DTV in Jakarta - Approved in 5 days

Paying forward for all the info this group has provided and hoping this helps other Sgers/Non-O visa switchers applying in JKT:

I landed in Jakarta on the 12th, submitted my pre-uploaded application as I waited for my taxi to arrive at CGK, and was approved 17th Jan. In total I uploaded over 150 compressed pages of documentation, and 2 days after I applied, all they asked me for was a high-resolution passport photo.

Applied as a freelance writer and owner of my own registered publishing business in Singapore and submitted my ACRA business registration.

Wrote myself a letter certifying myself as my own employee and giving myself permission to work from Thailand for projects paid from Singapore. Also used an employment contract I usually give my staff writers and gave myself 🤣 a contract signed by me as the business Director. In my contract, I wrote that I was both a freelancer and a business owner, so I allowed myself to be paid by clients into my personal bank account rather than my company/corporate bank account. Included Singapore taxes filed for at least 5 years.

Showed 3 main corporate client retainer contracts for >US$150k each/year covering the period from 2025-2028, and client payment slips for each month and amount.

Included 1 year of bank statements with monthly ending balance of anywhere from SG$10 to SG$850,000. Highlighted all dates and amounts showing when and how much my clients paid me, and these were hyperlinked in the PDF to the relevant client contracts and payment e-slips (I submitted 1 year's worth from the 3 clients).

Screenshot of bank statements on the date of application of >500K THB ending balance, which I’ve had in my personal account for just over 1 month, and also showed the SGD>THB exchange rate then.

Portfolio of the articles I have written and links to them online. I only submitted 5 pages of this as I figured they were more concerned about my financial stability than my work product.

Indonesian visa entry doc as I entered using the autogates had no stamp.

Scans of every page in my passport with stamps as I was on a non-O extension and had those stamps.

Lease agreement for my villa which I’ve lived in since 2017 and have a 10 year lease for.

Thanks to the moderators for this group and everyone for their input, now just need to figure out the easiest embassy to get my spouse switched over from a retirement visa to my DTV!
