My DTV has been approved! I applied in Jakarta as a tourist in person. 3 days processing time. The applicant needs to stay in Jakarta during the processing period. I submitted the following:

Visa application form.

2 photos.

Copy of my passport biometric page.

Bank statement (3 months) highlighted the source of income that were from the projects/clients.

Certificate of Employment (mentioned "'Remote Worker")

Portfolio of projects.

Fee of 5.6million IDR (about 12,712THB)

Only 1 question asked: "Why don't you apply in your home country?"

My reply: "The embassy in my country is not open to DTV yet."

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user successfully obtained a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Jakarta with a three-day processing time. They outlined their application requirements, including a visa application form, passport copy, bank statements, and a certificate of employment. Despite inquiries about additional documentation like proof of address or notarized documents, several commenters noted that these were not required in Jakarta.

Do you think if we answer to the last question : "i didn't want to come back to my country now, because I was in Thailand before coming here to apply, and it would have cost me 4 x more to come back there" is ok?

Or "i was in Thailand and would like to do the medical treatment as soon as possible there"?

For bank statements,

Is this ok if i show 3 last months for 1 saving account with more than 500k

AND

3 last months of 2 current accounts with income (40k/month) + 80k on it, and 650k (550k transferred this month so visible on statement) on the other one?

Does the amount of 500k needs to be maintained each month for the 3 months statement that you have submitted, Erica?

: Yes, the amount of money has been for my bank account for several months. Of course, there were many transactions but still 500k at the end of each month. Some Embassies want to see more than 1 month of funds to avoid applicants borrowing money for a week or a short while just to qualify for DTV.

I have applied and they have asked for letter from employer showing my current employment status and salary

Now problem is both my Lead and HR are on leave

And embassy has given me weeks time.

May i know if in your case did someone called your employer to verify your details?

In worst case I am thinking to prepare a format and submit it because i have already submitted contract and salary slip copies of last 3 months.

Let me know if embassy actually verified from your employer by calling or email?

:Which embassy did you apply at? I don't think my clients were contacted, though their email or phone numbers were listed in my documents. If anyone were contacted, I would be informed.

so meanwhile while waiting you stayed in the hotel? They will call you when approve to collect passport? They just want to see the money have 500,000 in your bank? Able to stated what documents to you actually bring there? Do you need appointment or walk in? How long the process take for application there? Meanwhile sgp still don't accept dtv. So once approve passport return. You be able to enter Thailand with this dtv visa? Is it sticker on passport chop or a card issue or letter issue ? Once reach Thailand anything to apply or handle?

: Yes, stay in the hotel while waiting for approval. They will not call, a collection slip will be given to each applicant stating the date of collection. I have listed the documents in the main post. Walk-in application in the morning. There will be a sticker in the passport if the application is successful. I am already in Thailand. Just go through the immigration at the airport and show the sticker. The officer will stamp a date that is 180 days from the day of entry.
