Received my 5 year DTV approval yesterday via email!

Submitted 24/09/24 via Thai E-Visa website, received in 3 days.

US Consulate - Los Angeles , I am American citizen

Paid: $400 USD

Documents provided:

Proof of location: State drivers license

Proof of funds: One month bank statement showing beginning and ending balance of $18,000 USD + 401k quarterly statement showing balance well over that amount. I did redact account numbers and sensitive info by crossing off with marker

Proof of remote work: I have an LLC, submitted business license from Secretary of State as well as typed Remote work policy that I signed as Managing member of the LLC. I will include full remote work policy doc.

That's it, they did not ask for any further docs, just approved it. Couldn't be happier :)

Super helpful. Thanks. Just moved enough money into checking account. Applying LA also but for soft power. Will wait until beginning and ending balance show sufficient amount before applying. Thanks
