ORIGINAL POSTER

Flew in today to chiang mai with my DTV which I got in Taipei yesterday. Here are some notes to help others who are looking to get the DTV in Taipei:

- I have a US passport

- It cost me 11,000 TWD (had to pay in TWD)

- I got the visa the same day I applied

- I was called some hours after I submitted and asked to submit an extra document

- A total of 22 non-thai showed up for visas (of all varieties). I know its 22 because the monitor that shows the queue number remained at 22 when I went to pick up at 5pm

- The staff spoke English and noted that they were interested in me passing. I say this to express that they are helpful and present

- Documents I used:

 - A cover letter with bullet points of the what financial pages are being submitted

 - 3 different bank statements showing current balance. They noted that they cared mostly about the the statement I had that said CURRENT BALANCE. In other words, previous months is not as interesting. But I would put it in again anyways

 - A recent pay slip

 - A cover letter with bullet points of the what work evidence is being submitted

 - Articles of organization of my llc

 - company's EIN (this is the document they requested)

 - Some pages from two active contracts to prove I have work

 - Visa application form (with a 2 inch passport photo glued. The form says to use 3.2cm but the online guide says to use 2 inch)

 - Copy of passport biopage

 - Every page I submitted was signed

thanks so much for this info, gonna go to Taipei to get this visa too. For the EIN, what document did you provide to prove this? Was it the original issuance letter from IRS (CP-575) or something else?
