Hello everyone,

I apologize if these questions have already been asked here.

I’m heading to Laos in 2 days to apply for the DTV Remote Worker visa, and I’ve been researching a lot since yesterday. I’d like to confirm a few points here if possible:

- Is it correct that the application is done online only?

- Whether applying from Laos or another neighboring country, are the required documents the same, or do they vary?

To summarize what I’ve understood about the required documents when applying from Laos, here’s what I have so far:

- Color photocopy of my passport

- Color photo (less than 6 months old)

- Employment contract

- Proof of salary for the last 6 months

- Employer certificate

Regarding the 500,000 THB financial evidence :

- Do they require bank statements for the last 3 months ?

- Can the amount be combined between a savings account and a current account (as long as they are both on the same account)?

About the "document indicating current location" :

- Would a color photo of my Laos entry stamp and, for example, an Agoda hotel receipt be sufficient?

Final question : Has anyone here recently applied from Laos and have any advice ? How long did it take for the process?

Thank you all so much in advance for your help!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is preparing to apply for the DTV Remote Worker visa from Laos and seeks confirmation on the application process and required documents. They inquire about the online application process, whether it varies by country, document requirements including those for financial proof, and the adequacy of specific documents for proving their current location. A commenter shares their experience, noting that requirements can differ by embassy and confirming the acceptance of a combination of bank accounts for financial proof, as well as the sufficiency of a passport stamp for location.

Yes mate, the documents vary from embassy to embassy and in all honesty from personal experience I would strongly recommend HCMC embassy Vietnam. They need 6 months of bank statements but fast very fast, only 3 days. Yes your current location would be ok in regard to passport page stamp/sticker etc. And the financial requirement, I did a combination of a savings account and current, they were cool with it.

thank you for your answers, I have the 500 000 bath on my account but only since fews days, but in my bank statement is only every 17th of the month, so the full amount doesn’t appear yet, can a bank certificate (with the good amount) be ok ..?
