For other people's reference for the DTV timeline particularly with the turnaround time for the LA Consulate for the workcation visa (remote work).

1. I applied at the LA consulate on Oct 30, 2025 in the morning. Fairly through with cover letters for each sections.

2. Got asked for more support documentation: remote work guarantee letter from company (even though I included one before), certificate of employment or contract, business license, description of business portfolio, and last year's tax return

3. Supplied the documentation on Oct 31, 2025 around 10am.

4. Got approval on same day Oct 31 around 1:30pm.

It was a super quick turnaround and glad it got approved.

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.
