My husband, son, and I were APPROVED! Finally!

I want to thank everyone who shared their feedback and helped me get there.

I'll also share my case. I am available for your questions.

--- Workcation --- FROM LISBON

Application submitted on July 9th

- Proof of current location: electricity bill letter + document proving my tax address;

- Financial evidence: bank statements from the last 3 months + payslips from the last 3 months + screenshot of my broker account

- Employment contract: full contract + company document allowing remote work

- All documents compiled into a single pdf with caption and index

After 2 days, they asked for an official letter from employer confirming employee status + brief description of digital nomad work (he is software developer) + my CV + my work portfolio.

TWO days later they approved!!!

----- To me (as a spouse) -----

Application submitted on July 14th

- Proof of current location: electricity bill letter + document proving my tax address;

- Financial evidence: bank statements from the last 3 months + payslips from the last 3 months (freelancer = several receipts) + screenshot of our broker account + sponsor letter explaining that my husband would be responsible for my expenses and that our bank funds belong to both of us;

- marriage certificate (original language + traslated by google image)

After 5 days, they asked for my husband passport.

8 days later they approved!!!

----- To my 3 years old son (as a dependent) -----

Application submitted on July 21th

- Proof of current location: hospital bill letter + document proving tax address;

- Financial evidence: sponsor letter explaining that my husband would be responsible for his expenses and obviously he doesn't work or have any income + bank statements from the last 3 months + payslips for the last 3 months (from dad) + screenshot of our broker account

- birth certificate (original language + traslated by google image)

After 6 days they approved!!!

I’m pretty sure children under 10 years or something like that don’t need a visa as there’s no penalty for not having one. But always good to be thorough.

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.
