DTV Visa from Pakistan 🇵🇰 (Workcation)
🌸 Almost Approved 🌸
Had my interview today for DTV in Islamabad. The officer asked me normal questions about what I do, how much I earn.
Then said your bank documents for the 500,000 Baht are not attested. How can I know the authenticity/ genuineness of these documents?
I told him it’s possible to call the bank. (My statements were from Wise).
He said you’ll need to get the statements notarized and then apostilled from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pakistan and then I can scan them in to the evisa portal.
He also offered me the multi entry visa instead that he can approve today. I said no, I’d like the DTV.
From talking to him it felt like all my documents are in order. He was also very helpful in answering all my questions.
I make a good amount of money and my employment is easily verifiable so it was a smooth Q&A nothing too crazy.
Overall it was a positive experience.
I’ll update on if I get the visa once I’ve submitted the apostilled documents.
It’s a hassle to do this but keeping in mind the high number of fake docs people submit, I guess it’s something necessary they have to do in Pakistan.
I wasn’t aware of this requirement or I would’ve brought the apostilled statements.
For anyone else applying as workcation from Pakistan, make sure you apostille your statements.
He did mention if I had my 500K in a local bank, it might be easier? But I’m not 100% sure.
Best of luck.
