Hello guys I wanted to share my experience applying for the workation DTV in Jakarta. 

Timeline: 

Arrived in Jakarta on 20.October 25

6 am and immediately applied online. And payed around 11-12k THB but in IDR. 

30.October 25: Status changes from document check pending to pending approval. 

Maybe 5 hours later it changed to approved am I got the email. 

Documents used: 

Proof of funds:

Bank statements from Revolut showing 13.5k in EUR which is a little more than 500k THB for 4 months (think 3 really is enough but I did it for 4 months just to be save)

Proof of location:

I prepared a pdf with following things:

- screenshot of flight booking 

- screenshot of hotel booking 

- Picture of boarding pass 

- Picture of visa on arrival + passport (you have to pay the visa on arrival on a separate booth before the immigration. If you show the visa to the officers you will get a stamp in the passport if you use the machines no stamp but you still have the slip from visa on arrival) 

- Picture of a slip from a purchase at the airport and my ID on the same picture.

Portfolio: 

- Cover letter explaining why I want to do workation why Thailand all data of company like tax registration no. How long its registered name of website. 

- Screenshots of my website with the services I offer 

- CV 

You only can upload one PDF for  portfolio so I put all in one file and converted it to PDF. 

I hope that helps a little bit after reading so many bad news

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.
