UPDATE: APPROVED!

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!!!

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

I’m hoping - the current company project is new and we won’t issue contracts until next year so no revenue yet 😱

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