# DVT Workation Approved!

The only thing unique about my case worth mentioning is that I'm self-employed and most of my liquid money (more than double the required amount) is in my business bank account. My personal account never had enough and I didn't want to move money and wait. Other people here helped me, hope this helps someone!

Applied at LA on Friday 5/22, they requested the docs that evening, I resubmitted Tuesday 5/26, approved 5/27.

I sent:

* Cover letter explaining following documents, funds and why I have more in business account ("for accounting purposes blahblahblah...") etc. standard cover letter.

* Letter from my bank (on bank letterhead with signature of the financial consultant) stating that I was the sole member/signer for the account, with the current balance. This took me several weeks to get the bank to do properly. I ended up having to go in and talk to one of the consultants. It took a while, honestly.

* Signature member card for when I opened the account showing me as the only owner of the account.

* 3 months of statements for business account (statements only had business name, not personal name, thus the above paperwork).

* 3 months personal statements, less than half of needed amount, but a recent deposit brought it over $10k, for what it's worth. That means over $50k combined accounts if they accepted my above documents.

For my business:

* Just a good simple portfolio showing what I do, a few recent invoices and payments. Honestly, it's a ridiculous little gig that makes more than it should lol, so i worked harder on showing off the reliability of the income.

Things they asked for:

* Tax return, oops just forgot to include it.

* PDF copies of some things. I foolishly made one big pdf with jpegs of the bank statements, etc. I should have compiled a proper pdf with the original unedited pdfs. My bad.

* Guarantee letter from my company stating that my work can be done remotely. It felt silly writing a letter on my behalf guaranteeing that my job is performed remotely. I also included a paragraph stating that, "abcLLC further authorizes Mr. Doe to access and utilize up to 100% of funds in abcLLC business account ending in for personal and business expenses including international travel and living." Basically sponsor myself lol

* Employment letter from abcLLC certifying that Mr. Doe is the owner/operator blah blah blah runs the company remotely. I made AI write most of the letters.

Good luck, y'all. See ya there!

Well done βœ…

The Los Angeles Thai Consulate is truly VERY good for the DTV visa. With quick processing time.

Thank You for your helpful report πŸ‘

Congratulations πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

The Thai Embassy or Consulates in the USA πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ are MORE lenient in accepting varied bank accounts, personal and business with proof of your ownership.

That's 🚫 NOT TRUE with most of the Thai Embassy's and Consulates worldwide.
