ORIGINAL POSTER

Wanted to share my experience applying for the workcation DTV in Malaysia. Got a lot of comments saying Malaysia is notoriously strict and slow, but this was not the case for me.

March 21: applied after hours as soon as I landed

March 24: got request for bank statement, employment contract, business license, portfolio, all pages of passport

March 26: request once again for business license, bank statement, employment contract

March 27: request for statement about remote work/dtv relevance

March 28: approved

My guess is that if you have strong documents, bank balances, and portfolio, Malaysia is fairly quick to approve. I was never asked for an interview. Thanks for all the help in the previous posts.

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.
