What steps did Annie take to get approved for a Workcation visa at the Thai Embassy in Berlin?

DTV approved in Berlin Embassy in Workcation category 🥳

Hello lovely people! I promised to give a big update when my application is approved. I got a lot of info and help from this group and lovely group members. So I hope my post can help others too.

I applied on 11.10. at Berlin Embassy. I am a German citizen with a private Limited Company registered in UK and I am the Company Director of it.

I provided:

- Business registration (PDF Download from companies House)

- Self written Statement letter giving all Information about the Business activities of my Company, that I have no Business in Thailand and dont intend to Build any, that my stay in Thailand will be only for Personal reasons and that I will work Remote during my stay in Thailand (signed and wet Company stamp)

- business contract between my Company and a customer, including which Services my Company provides for that customer (b2b)

- 3 invoices from my Company showing that my Company Generates income

- flight ticket

- booking confirmation for a rented condo for 6 months

To proof 500.000 Baht I downloaded a PDF Bank Statement of my WISE Account, showing around 15.000€.

On 21.10. I received a request for further documents, explaining that my Business registration can Not be accepted, because it is Not a German document. International documents had to get legalised by an official of the State Where the Company is registered plus by the Thai Embassy in that state.

Besides that they didn‘t accept my passport photo, because I scanned one and uploaded it. So you really need to go to a Professional Studio and get a digital foto.

Because I stay in Germany at the moment I had to Order the documents from companies House, send them back to UK to get them legalised and again send them to UK Thai Embassy in London to get them legalised by them. That took me more than 4 weeks despite express shipping.

After I had all documents legalised I uploaded them and got approved on the next day 🥳

I am very happy and hope that my application story can help you. If you have any questions, just ask in the comments 😊

See you in Thailand 🙏🏻

Annie Reischmann 😊
