DTV approved!! I wanna share my experience with the applying members. I got lots of help from the members of this group. Thank you everyone 🙏🙏🙏.
I got approved in Vientiane, Laos. My walk-in appointment on Dec 11 and collected my passport on Dec 13.
(Note: After Dec 20 Thai Embassy in Vientiane will be closed until January 1 to upgrade their system to e-visa application)
My previous visa was in Thai language school.
I am working remote for a Singapore-based company. I applied under "workcation as a remote worker" category.
This is the list of documents I submitted
- Letter of request for visa approval
- Filled out Visa application form
- Portfolio (Resume)
- Education background and career related certificates
- Employment Contract
- Payslips since contract started
- Verification Letters from my Employer Company (employment certificate, remote work verification, visa sponsorship letter)
- Company registration docs (Singapore ARCA docs since my employer is Singapore-based)
- Bank statement 6-month (some say 3-month okay but I submitted 6 to be safe. I used Bangkok Bank account)
My employment contract with the Singapore-based company started in October. I submitted my Oct, Nov payslips. But the officer gave them back to me over the counter.
I wrote a neat cover letter "Request for Visa Approval" mentioning my purpose to apply for DTV. The officer carefully read it and asked me a few questions about my remote job.
I saw that the most important documents the officer carefully checked were
- Employment contract
- Company verification letters
- Company registration docs (Singapore ARCA)
- Bank statement
I submitted a 6-month statement of my Thai Bank account I opened with my language school visa.
The officer carefully checked transactions at the end of each month. I think it should be an account you are using regularly.
Lucky for me my company supported all the necessary documents and everything went well at the embassy.
I got lots of help from the members of this group. Thank you everyone.🙏🙏 🙏
And I hope everyone will get approved and live in your dream country.
