Hi everyone,
I was just denied the DTV visa at Savannakhet because they wanted the original remote work letter from my company, and I only had a printout (and presumably they needed original bank statements also). They needed the documents to have signatures, although not sure if that means original signature with ink, or a copy of a signature. And from the previous posts here it seems to me that other people submit simple printouts and that gets accepted?
So my questions to who went through this already are:
- When you applied in-person, did you have to bring all originals with signatures/stamps, or just printouts?
- How would you possibly get an original bank statement if your bank is in Europe? You'd have to get it mailed to you?
And lastly
- Since they're moving to an online system next month, do I understand correctly that they won't be requiring originals anymore? Since a PDF file is not an "original" in a sense that it doesn't have a genuine signature, unless we're talking about digital cryptographic signatures (which is probably not what they're looking for).
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user reported being denied the DTV visa at Savannakhet due to insufficient documentation, specifically lacking original signed letters and bank statements. They are seeking insights from others about the necessity of original documents versus printouts during the application process, particularly concerning remote work letters and bank statements from overseas. There is also a question regarding the future online application system and its implications for original document requirements.
