Me and my boyfriend got our DTV in Hanoi! 🎉🎉

Submitted on morning of 21 Oct 2024.

Got the email on 25 Oct 2024, around 3pm BKK time.

A fast process given that on Tuesday (22 Oct) it was a Thai public holiday.

I applied using my own business, and my partner with a remote employment contract from a company outside Thailand.

Already on our way to the airport to fly back to our new home, Thailand 😻😻😻

This FB group gave us confidence that we would be approved, through the experience of others! Feel free to ask questions, its great to have a community 👍🏻

Congratulations!

I’m going to be in a similar situation since I’m owning my own business and will apply in Hanoi soon.

I would like to prepare with all the documents needed.

If it’s ok for you, can you please share what you needed to send as a business owner? Thank you

@Yael ************

these were what I submitted:

1. Business registration proof/license that has my name as owner of the business, and was issued by Singapore government officially. This pdf also showed what kind of industry I was in, which matched my portfolio

2. my portfolio. I am in the ecommerce industry so screenshots of my site was enough

That was all to prove my business. On top of that, my bank statements also showed money coming in and out that were labeled as business transactions/sales, reflecting my business name as well

Is it a must to show bank statements with at least 500k THB? Or is the employer contract enough?

@เฮเทน ********

the 500K is not negotiable, it's a must have requirement, some consulates only want to see the money in the bank, others want to see it in the bank up to 6 months prior.

PRINT OUT the PDF files that are your DTV visas and hand it with your passport to the officer when you stamp in

and

then CHECK that they stamped you in for 180 days when you get the passport back..

There have been more than a few people "bad stamped" on DTV's recently (not for the 180 days) 😕
