Yesterday I submitted application for workation DTV at HCMC. The form by default does not have an upload section for all the docs rumored to be needed (letter of permission, business registration), so rather than combining lots docs into one, I just submitted only what was asked for and hopefully they reach out for the additional ones.

- bank statement

- portfolio

- proof of current location (I took a photo of entry stamp at Danang)

- photo

Crossing fingers!!!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user submitted their application for a workation DTV visa at the HCMC embassy, providing a bank statement, portfolio, proof of entry, and personal photo. They noted a lack of upload options for other required documents. Following their submission, the embassy requested additional documents including a hotel booking in Vietnam, bank statements showing a minimum balance of 500,000 THB over the past six months, and proof of employment or freelance status. Users in the comments suggest merging documentation into one PDF to streamline the application process.

Many merge docs into one PDF and upload to avoid further requests. You should be ok with what you sent.

Iโ€™m hoping - the current company project is new and we wonโ€™t issue contracts until next year so no revenue yet ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

There is no income requirement so that should not be an issue.

Update, less than 24 hours later the embassy has come back asking for the following.

Document indicating current location: Regarding to your location, please provide hotel booking in Vietnam. All documents must be in English/Thai.

Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter : Please submit the transactions latest 6 months and the account balance totaling not less than 500,000baht.

Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status : ** Please provide more information about your current job such as contact agreement, cv, additionally, if you have any receipt proven your related project it is recommended to attach with main document.

I have provided 6 months of bank statements, my cv and letter attesting myself as the sole proprietor and working from anywhere, and list of clients (although we do not have financial contracts in place yet so no revenue ๐Ÿคž
