ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all, I saw some past messages around it but can't find them anymore so sorry for asking what has already been asked.

I'm going to start a new job (remote) and would to apply to workation DVT. I know some embassies rejected such applications because it's a new employment relationship and they want to show 6 months of payslip from the same employer.

This is not a money issue (I have 6 months payslips from my previous employer since I'm jumping from a contract to another, and have the required balance), but just the fact that this is a new contact.

Do you know the position of HCM/Hanoi/PP/Ventiane on this topic? did anybody got a DVT approved in the region with a brand new employment contract?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the eligibility for a workation DVT visa in Vietnam while transitioning to a new remote job, particularly addressing concerns about the requirement for six months of payslips from the same employer. They seek to know if others have had success with this visa type under similar circumstances in the regions of HCM, Hanoi, or Vientiane. A comment mentions disparities in requirements between embassies, specifically noting that Manila requires six months of payslips while there seems to be no clear guideline on this from HCM or Hanoi.

just looking at the different embassy sites right now. it appears pricing is slightly different too. manila requires 6 months payslips, i didn't see anything on hanoi or HCM about payslips just the 500k. same with vientiane. Vientiane is also 10k baht where Vietnamese embassies are listed at 340 USD which currently is around 11,800 baht. I need a visa to enter both laos and Vietnam so i think laos might be better for me rather than HCM. Ill be applying in a few months i think.
