Hello everyone,
Just wanted to share my experience. After two rejections, the first one in The Netherlands, the second one in Vietnam, I've finally been approved for the DTV Workation Visa.
I went to Laos, and in comparison to the two previous applications, I would strongly recommend anyone being in doubt to do the same. In Laos is the 'in-person' interview, which gives you the opportunity to explain your situation and show your finances.
For me personally, I believe the reason my first two applications were rejected, is because of a more complex company owning structure, which they don't seem to understand in Thailand, but which is common in The Netherlands. The in-person interview gives you the possibility to explain everything properly in person, with showing additional proof of income through your bank app.
Laos/Vientiane is not the most entertaining city in the world, but the total process in Laos cost me 10 days.
TLDR : Answer Summary
After two rejections for the DTV Workation Visa in The Netherlands and Vietnam, the poster successfully secured their visa in Laos. They highlight the benefits of attending an in-person interview, which allowed them to explain their complex company structure better and present financial evidence. Despite concerns about Vientiane's entertainment options, they recommend this approach, noting the total process took only 10 days.
