What was the application process and approval experience for a Workcation visa in Thailand?

Jul 7, 2025

Approved in Hanoi (Workcation)

July 1, Tue: Applied

July 2 Wed: Add Doc

July 7 Mon: Approved

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who shared countless application reviews.

In my case, I annotated the Financial Evidence section in detail for the past three months and even included screenshot captures on current day, but ultimately, I was asked to simply resubmit the original bank statement. Just for your reference.

Just as I’ve received help, I’ll do my best to answer any questions you may have.

Hi, congratulations! I am due to apply in Hanoi next week. My contract letter only indicates that the work is fully remote (meaning anywhere) but does not explicitly state in "Thailand". I have seen some posts here saying that the reference to Thailand specifically is required. Any light you could shed on this would be much appreciated.

not really. It is sufficient to explain which country the company you are working for is located in and that there is absolutely no situation in which you would be able to work in Thailand. Maybe you can add some proof for the location of the company. Write a good cover letter. πŸ‘

Thank You for your helpful report πŸ‘

Congratulations πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

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.
