My workation DTV Visa application has been approved by the Ho Chi Minh embassy in Vietnam.
I submitted my application via the evisa system, and it took 5 days to receive the application approval email. No extra documents requested.
I read a lot of useful information in this group, so I am sharing my experience to help others. Here are the documents I included:
## Proof of current location:
1. Vietnam passport stamp
2. Hotel booking confirmation
3. Selfie outside hotel in Vietnam
4. Flight to Thailand
## Proof of employment:
1. Cover letter describing my business and how it functions entirely remotely.
2. Business registration document
3. Certificate of Incorporation
4. Signed document appointing myself as director
5. Screenshots of stripe payouts and gross volume.
6. Screenshots of the business website, and stripe analytics page.
## Personal documents:
1. Passport bio data page
2. Two bank account statements, each with 500k+. Showing 6 months of data.
Other Points:
* The maximum file size for the PDF documents is 3MB. You can also only upload one document for each section. I used adobe acrobat to compile the files, you can select "reduce file size" at export to keep it well below 3MB.
* Double check all of your details are entered correctly. I have seen other applications get rejected for not adding their middle name for example. Rejection = pay the application fee again.
* Recently, I noticed many posts of embassies requesting more documents. One is 6 months of bank statements, and the other is a booked flight to Thailand. Make sure to include these to avoid the extra trouble.
Feel free to comment any questions and I'll do my best to help.
