📄 My Application Process & Documents
I’m a part-time employee and approached the application with great care and attention to detail. I did not need a notary stamp. Instead, I submitted a well-written cover letter explaining the purpose of each document and how it supports my case.
For translations, I used google translate and for editing I used Sejda PDF
Here’s everything I included:
* ✅ Bank account confirmation—signed and stamped on official bank letterhead
* ✅ 6 months of bank statements, with 3 most recent salary payments clearly highlighted + exchange rate
* ✅ 3 payslips – original + translated
* ✅ Employment contract – original + translated
* ✅ Company certificate of incorporation
* ✅ Employer letter confirming my employment, job title, remote work approval, salary, and identifying details
* ✅ Personal letter explaining why I want to work from Thailand and confirming my commitment to visa compliance
* ✅ Vietnam entry stamp

* ✅ Boarding pass
* ✅ Screenshot of my LinkedIn profile

🟡 Pro Tips
