ORIGINAL POSTER

Approved today from Hanoi! Super thankful for this group.

I’ve been staying in Thailand off and on for years as a nomad, but finally decided at the last minute to apply for the DTV while I'm in Vietnam now. I was not planning on doing this until last week.

Applied as a freelancer. I am a 1099 independent contractor for one company in the US.

Arrived in Hanoi Nov. 15. 

Sat, Nov. 23: Submitted documents and paid

- Passport, recent visa photo I took on my phone and edited

- Cover letter with links to my business FB page

Contract

- Letter from boss confirming remote work approval. I made this in Google docs with a letterhead. She approved and inserted an image of her signature and saved as a PDF. 

- 6 months of bank statements

- Vietnam visa letter, visa stamp in passport, receipt for booking accommodation

Nov. 26: Request for additional document - current bank account balance. I submitted 6 months of previous official statements, but did not submit a screenshot of my current balance originally.

Nov. 26: Pending approval

Nov. 29: Approved!!

I was really nervous to do something wrong and lose the application fee, but it was pretty straight forward.
