ORIGINAL POSTER

For those who successfully obtained the DTV as a remote worker, was a letter from your employer (with details of the role, ability to work remotely, etc.) enough? Or did you additionally need to show your employment contract? I work for my family's business so I don't really have a contract in the same way a worker in a corporation would.

For reference, I'm considering applying in Jakarta or Taipei.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Expat applicants for the DTV visa as remote workers question whether a letter from their employer is enough, or if an employment contract is also required. Comments reveal that while some found a letter sufficient, others had issues with outdated contracts and were asked to provide additional confirmation of employment. Context is given for applications in Jakarta and Taipei, emphasizing the importance of documentation to prove remote work eligibility.

When people say a contract, do you mean a one page letter explaining your role, duties ect or a legit contract, 20 pages with stuff like what's acceptable in the workplace, annual leave allowances, sick leave ECT....

Make sure your passport and contract says Anonymous Participant. You should be good.

Jakarta will ask you that letter or contract states that you can work online. If is not mentioned they will ask you to come back
