What supporting documents should I include with my DTV visa application as a social media manager?

DTV visa document requirements expat advice visa application social media manager portfolio presentation Vietnam embassy

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone 🇻🇳 

I’m currently in Ho Chi Minh applying for the DTV visa. I’ve made a submission yesterday and the embassy just requested some additional ones, specifically my CV or portfolio and examples of my work that show what I do professionally.

I’m a social media manager and mainly handle content and accounts for a single creator but I’m not quite sure what work examples to provide.

Would it make sense to include things like:

• Videos I’ve edited or campaigns I’ve managed

• Screenshots of posts or analytics

• Photos of me with the creator at events

If anyone has gone through something similar, I’d appreciate your advice on what to include and how to present it.

Thanks in advance for any tips! 🙏

This is just ridiculous, how pathetic can they be!?? And they need also you provide your income tax last 2 years for a F***** BS tourism visa.

No wonder why no tourist wants go there and a lot of old expats already left

ThoughtfulLychee5096 Yes but a 5-year tourism visa. I also find the gap in requirements and benefits between the Non-Immigrant visas and the DTV to be quite ridiculous.

We got that too. Don't worry. You just need to show your business formation documents, tax returns, business bank account and client payments.

GoldCranberry8148 Believe it or not, many people can’t even provide these documents. That's why they keep complaining about the requirements becoming stricter, while genuine online workers can easily submit everything needed.

Just keep it precise and brief of what you do, screen shot web site, LinkedIn etc no waffle. Use Ilovepdf to keep file size as required.

Most important are the financials for business show accounts highlighting a few recent invoices raised and monies received in the bank account, highlight those entries

Personal account show 6 month’s statements showing current account balance of 500k baht or equivalent in a foreign personal/savings account.

I had the exact same thing with Hcmc. I don’t have a specific portfolio I submitted my cv with a cover letter explaining my role and why the additional documents didn’t apply to me.

My advice is to supple a cover letter for each request explaining your submissions. Answer all requests in detail.

Give them everything, hundreds of pages of work and documents. They like it because it can be used as a justification for why they should approve you.

I took the approach of giving them as little as possible and just took a tone like Im insulted they asked 😅

Cover letter briefly explaining what you do for work, then a portfolio document with example links+screenshots of everything you that you described that is remote work (I don’t think the in-person photos are necessary as it’s not remote).

Create a LinkedIn and Screenshot this too, add it as another page.

If you’re a university graduate, attach your certificate as another page.

I’m a video editor, I did all the above + I have a professional website in my name and included screenshots of this too.
