I would like to thank this group for helping me get approved for the DTV. visa for remote worker without need for additional documents. I didn’t get the Visa by email. I had to download it from the website. If you did not get your email, there is a function on the website where you can download it.

I submitted the visa application to the Royal Thai embassy of Los Angeles on January 6, 2025. It was issued today.

The expected wait time was three weeks.

Here is what I included

-A letter authorizing remote work in Thailand, which I actually forgot to sign

-A letter with the links to all of my advertisements related to my remote work, including my website

-My professional résumé and link LinkedIn

-Screenshots of my website and advertisements that I have created

-Photographe

-Drivers license with current address

-Voter Registration with current address

IRS letter with current address

-Six months of bank statements with ฿500,000 baht, front page only

-The original IRS letter with the tax ID number for my company that was issued to me

-The companies’s articles of organization

-Registration from the Secretary of State that I downloaded from the website from the year of 2023

So yesterday, I was reading that someone stated that specifically they needed to put that they were not to work in Thailand and I had forgotten that, and upon looking at my letter, I forgot to sign it. Since I own the company as a single member, I had to write the letter to myself from myself.

So I added the letter I signed it. I sent it to the visa department and I woke up this morning and I got no email and I got a message from their line information that they would ask for it if they needed it.

I went over to the website where my applications were, I clicked on the tab, and I noticed that it had been approved

I did not get the email however I nobody responded when I emailed, but I noticed it on the left toolbar. There is a function where you can download the visa and now I have it.

I did not have to submit any salary or statements of transfer or show any of the detail of the statements, they approved it based on my tax return, and my letter with the stated annual salary

Thank you to anybody that has answered my questions in this group. You’ve been very helpful, I was able to get this and not any less than the time prescribed, I didn’t have to submit anything additional.

Long time for no reply. I assume the additional docs you sent were ok as it is too long to be told they not. Hopefully you get a reply soon. Did you call them?

good chance it was in your spam folder bin, they ALWAYS email you once you get approved or rejected

BUT

You're correct you can always go in to the system to see pending applications and check the status or re-print the PDF eVisa
