What are the steps and required documents for getting a DTV visa approved from the HCMC Embassy?

DTV Approved from HCMC Embassy.

Hi, i got my DTV approved and wanna share my experience and the documents I submitted to those who are looking to apply.

Applied: Jan 16, 2025

Additional Documents Requested: Jan 19, 2025

Pending Approval: Jan 21,2025

Approved: Jan 23,2025

Applied through workcation (remote work) category.

Documents submitted:

- Passport bio page (I took a photo and covert it to pdf)

-Passport photo (The embassy does have a requirement for the photo, especially for ladies, if you have long hair, make sure you put your hair back before taking the photo. You can check if the photo meets the requirement when you upload it)

- Entry stamp to Vietnam (also took a photo and covert it to pdf)

- Hotel booking receipt (I booked through agoda, at agoda, you can get an official booking receipt that shows the property address, the dates that you booked).

- Cover letter to the embassy stating why I wish to apply for the DTV and that I will follow the law of Thailand

-Employment contract & cover letter stating that I am allowed to work remotely including in Thailand.

-Pay slips for the last 6 months with bank statements showing the transfer (merged into 1 pdf) (highlighted the payment transfer)

-Bank statement for the last 6 months showing 500k balance (Highlighted the balance at the end of each month and also covert the amount to THB for each month written next to the opening balance of each month) (merged into 1 pdf)

Additional documents submitted: Was asked to provide the company's vision & mission on the following Monday after I submitted my application. Sent the document on the same day before the embassy closed.

P.S: You can do a draft application before the actual application, so you have an idea of what needs to be submitted.

Thank you again for all the information & tips from this group.
