Why am I being asked for additional documents for the DTV visa application despite submitting my work contract?

Question

request for further documents on DTV type

i submitted all documents (payslip, proof of residence, bank statement, work contract). (Thai embassy vienna via website "thaievisa")

3 days later i got the request to submit additional documents

”**Other request documents (The DTV will be considered for remote workers, digital nomads, freelancers, and participants in certain cultural activities. Please upload a cover letter specifying which category you align with.”**

**what could be the reason, since i already provided my work contract. **
* **because the 100 % remote work is not explicitly mentioned im the work contract?**
* **from your experience, was the specific mentioning of 100% remote work required ?**
* **is an explicit cover letter next to the work contract required?**

**thank you**

The request for additional documents is likely due to the work contract not explicitly stating that the applicant is permitted to work remotely from Thailand. Many users report that including a cover letter affirming remote work status can strengthen the application. It's advisable to obtain a letter from the employer clearly stating that remote work is allowed, ideally specifying that work can be performed from Thailand.

bring a letter of your company  that is ONLY meant to approve your remote work. many blueprints online already.

John ******* · Answer

Your work contract (or work certification) should state that you are eligible for remote working, and even better if it says in Thailand

Biff ******* · Answer

Contract will say remote work. Letter would specify remote work from Thailand.

James *********** · Answer

I provided a cover letter that specified the visa type I was applying for, the company I work for, the role (remote), length of employment and included my contract.

They then asked for the business registration for the company I work for.  I got that online.

Because contract probably does not say remote work. Get a letter from employer stating that you are permitted to work from any country worldwide including Thailand

Greg ******** · Answer

I do not think your remote work has to be 100%. A letter stating you can work remotely from Thailand is that others I know supplied. This was even though it was their own company and they were writing as Directors about themselves.

Just write a letter explaining your role and how its a remote role and your resume could help.

Partner received a request

for Resume, portfolio and letter even though the work contract was supplied, which clearly states Remote Work on it.

For this request, we provided the resume and a letter explaining the role.
