Approved in Hanoi for workcation DTV in one week.

Landed on Wed 1/21 at 9PM. Submitted application at 1am Thursday morning 1/22. Received requested for additional documents (business registration and highlighted direct deposits) Friday 1/23.

Waited a week from my original application date. Emailed embassy politely asking for an update.

Received approval a few hours later today, Thursday 1/29.

American passport

Submitted:

-3 months bank statements with highlighted direct deposits and final balance of 500k thb (only 2 months with 500k thb)

-3 months paystubs

-2025 W2 tax form

-letter from company approving remote work and confirming employment. Also stating I won't be doing any business with any Thai entities.

-screenshot of business registration

-screenshot of company website

-Airbnb receipt for stay in Hanoi and passport stamp

-cover letter explaining small details about company name change and personal name differences on paystubs vs application.

-letter of intent for my stay in Thailand expressing desire to learn and experience Thai culture while working remotely.

Hope this helps! Good luck!!
