Hi All,

Category: Workcation (Remote Worker)

Embassy: London

Applied: 19/03/26

Additional Docs Requested: 20/03/26

Additional Docs Submitted: 21/03/26

Let's see what happens now..

Additional Docs:

* New Photo

* New Scan of British Passport

* Consent Letter - Remote Working Only

* Consent Letter - Will stay in the UK until processing is complete (as I planned the trip for Songkran)

* Some official history from HMRC account

* Bank statements - 3 months income transactions

* Bank statements - £11,000 held for 10 days in the last 15 days

I have submitted the bank statements earlier but they asked me to highlight the transactions, so I did.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

If the IO asks for the purpose of the visit, do I say "Holiday" or "Remote Work" ?

Thank you. Once I get the approval (hopefully), I will print it out. Your picture shows the DTV is laminated, which is a good idea.
