Hi
I would like to share my experience with application for DTV in Taipei based on workcation. Im employed by my own company back in EU.
Whole application took exactly 5 working days. I honestly expected it to be faster (based on previous reviews) but cannot complain :) I was on holiday anyway.
In the past I was on Non-O marriage visa but since they cancelled multiple entry option last year I had to find some new solution and DTV seemed like the best option. Im rarely in Thailand more than 90 days in a row so 1 year extension of Non-O visa based on marriage would be complicated for me(waiting period etc...).
Applied on 17.2.2025 in the morning with these documents:
* Cover letter (with reasons why I apply and overview of documents that I provided)
* Employment contract
* Remote work confirmation letter (allowing myself to work from Thailand)
* Overview of my work tasks (simple PDF with screenshots of my daily work and comments)
* Extract from business register about my company (date of incorporation, identification number etc...)
* Personal bank statements with more than 500 000 THB (deposited 3 months ago) and with highlighted salary income (6 months)
* Payslips (6 months)
* Accomodation confirmation letter from my wife (letter, copy of ID and Tabien Baan) that she allow me to stay with her in Thailand :)
* Certificate of entry an exit dates from National Immigration Agency in Taipei as a proof of current location
* Booking confirmation for accomodation in Taiwan (the embassy staff didnt care about this since they have certificate of entry a exit dates)
* Ticket to Thailand
* Ticket to back to EU in 6 weeks
Some documents were in English and some were translated to English by rapidtranslate.org
3 hours after I sent my application the status switched from Pending document check to Pending approval
On 18.2.2025 in the evening I received an interview request on 21.2.2025
Interview was honestly not that bad. I was asked why I apply in Taiwan and not back in my coutry. Why Im not applying for Non-O visa and then some questions about my work and life. The embassy staff was friendly but strict at the same time :) In and out within 20 mins.
3 hours after my interview I received approval. I hope this helps you somehow.
