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.

Answer summary

The user shares their successful experience applying for a workcation visa in Thailand, detailing a timeline from application submission to approval.

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??
