What documents can I provide to prove I'm in Indonesia for my DTV application?
Hi everyone,
I applied for the DTV in Jakarta (Indonesia) on September 1st. Today (September 11th), I finally got a reply, but they are asking me to provide proof that I am currently in Indonesia.
Does anyone know what type of document works best to make sure it gets accepted? (visa, photo, something else?)
Also, my current visa expires the day after tomorrow and I will be going to Kuala Lumpur after that. Could this be an issue for my application?
Thanks a lot for your help 🙏

@Michael ****
i did sent hotel booking + VOA but wasn't enough so i had to act fast and take more selfi to prove I'm still in the country !! i think the passport with local news paper + selfi in front of my hotel was enough i also added the phone number of the hotel + my room number so the embassy can call the hotel and inquire about me the next day i was approvedYu-Tian ******
Anonymous participant 241 what was the result?

Anonymous participant 241 good for you! Unfortunately a selfie with receipt of a purchase + hotel booking was not enough for me

Still in Indonesia. Just got rejected. My guess would be that since they looked at my application today (12 September) and I sent a hotel booking until the 11th they couldn’t confirm I would still be here…

@Jon *****
I have tried, they will answer you that reason of rejection is confidential information and decision of Thai immigration, feels like scam afJon ******
@Artem ********
I Aplied Workation, but no reasons given to rejection. I Just Sent an email asking but not sure if they will answer

If you leave before visa is granted, it's reason for rejection, so stay or loose DTV

Show them a current receipt for something you purchased today, preferably with your name on it. If it doesn't have your name take a selfie of you holding it with a recognisable landmark in the bank and make sure the date is visible. You need to stay in Indonesia until the visa is approved

I got the same request for proof that I am currently staying in Indonesia yesterday and sent a selfie with me holding a receipt + a hotel booking until 11 Sept. Now I am wondering if showing a hotel booking for the next days (e.g. next week) would have been better....Activity
