ORIGINAL POSTER

DTV Succes Story from Penang, Malaysia.

I applied under the workcation scheme as an employee of a company I co-own.

08 Jan 2025 11:00 – Application submitted.

10 Jan 2025 18:00 – Request for further documents.

10 Jan 2025 19:00 – Submitted

16 Jan 2025 15:00 – Request for further documents.

16 Jan 2025 15:30 – Submitted

17 Jan 2025 15:00 – Approved

The first round of extra documents requested where some questions about my work, whether I have an office in Thailand, and how often I travel there. The second request was for more details about my work and a sample of it.

Thanks a lot to this forum for providing useful answers about the process.

The process involved two requests for additional documents regarding their work and travel details. Their positive experience contrasts with others who faced delays and challenges during the application process.

Congrats... one of the very few success stories at Penang. Mine was a nightmare - eventually approved after 8 weeks. I also had two extra document requests and the same questions, why couldn't they put it all in one request??
