DTV Workation, EU Citizen, remote business started few years ago.

5th May - I arrived to Hanoi

8th May - I applied for DTV for workation

13th May - status changed to pending approval

15th May - rejected (no reason given). I went to embassy and asked them personally,after she checked my document, she said - "Change an embassy". That was a bit ridiculous but I did what she said.

23rd May - I arrived to Vientiane (Laos)

24th May - I applied again

26th May - I was asked for an additional document which I provided but in better quality (passport bio page)

26th May after about 1 hour - status changed to pending approval

26th May after another 1 hour - I was invited for interview

5th June - Interview and visa approved.

Interview Question:

* What kind of plans do you have to spend time in Thailand?

* Show me account with your invoice payments

* Show me account where you have a balance over 500k

* Show me what do you do, examples of your work

Key tips:

* Dress well, be polite and elegant, very important thing in my opinion

* Take your laptop or print everything what you have provided

* Double check if your mobile apps are working to show your statements or bank balance

* Smile (yes,really), don't go there like you would go to jail, this helps in my opinion

I hope that will help other people.

For a earlier flight out of Thailand to tick the boxes book a flight to Laos , very close to Thailand and very cheap.. Can be cancelled if not needed. I use Trip.com for bookings here as they are based in Singapore and well known in Asia.

Willism69_ tourist visa is 60 days which can be extended for another 30 days.

Visa exempt entry is still 60 days which can be extended for another 30 days. This will be reduced from 60 days visa exempt entry to 30 days visa exempt entry 15 days after publication in the Royal Gazette and will still be extendable for a further 30 days.
