I got the DTV in HCMC as a business owner with no additional docs request!! (timeline + paperwork below)
First i want to thank everyone in the group for the collective info. You guys are awesome!
Timeline:
03/12 - Arrived in Ho chi minh at night
04/12 - Visa app sent at 6:44am
09/12 - Went into pending approval around 7pm
11/12 - Approval email at 6:24pm
* 04/12 - 11/12 - I stressed myself to the gills waiting for the verdict 😂 *
Docs submitted:
* Picture of vietnam entry stamp, hotel receipt, hotel booking, and screentshot of the official email from my hotel with the receipt and hotel contact info on it just in case
* Cover letter listing why I want to live in thailand, why I like the country, etc.
* Business approval to work in thailand given by my company to me
* Business registration with my home state in the US
* Two client contracts with names redacted
* 6 month bank statements showing over 500k baht
* Screenshots of website, youtube channel, and FB business page
* Brief explanation of my business (I am a marketing consultant)
I used a pdf merging site to combine all the docs for the respective questions.
My best recommendation is to use canva for the raw pdfs as it allows you to create a multiple page pdf by default so you can skip some of the more tedious merging.
If you have any questions, let me know
‼️TRIPLE CHECK YOUR ANSWERS AND DO NOT USE AUTOFILL FOR ANYTHING ON THE APP‼️
I even had a friend proofread my basic info like passport and DOB to be ultra sure
Good luck everyone!
