Guys, I’m over the moon right now! 😭🎉 I finally got my visa today 4.40pm, January 17th! I started my application on Sunday, the 12th, in HMC, and after just one week, the long-awaited email arrived at 4:40 PM today! On Tuesday, they requested some additional details about my company (Workation with my own business), and that was it.

Thank you all so much for your help and support along the way! 🙏

Guys I have applied in HCM on Sunday 12th January in the workation category, today I have received an email asking for this "1 . Other request documents (Provide a company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements.)"

What it means? I already sent my portfolio, contract between my LLC and me (I am a solo member/owner of the LLC), any clue?

Thanks

Applied Nov 29

Approved today

Cost: 400k krw ($275)

US Citizen

Non South Korean resident / tourist exempt visa sticker

Despite what everyone was saying about Seoul requiring Korean residency, I was actually approved.

Applied for workation. Needed to submit 3 months of bank account containing >500k thb all months. Resume. Certificate of income from government (submitted tax return). Employment certificate requesting DTV visa with official seal and signature. Lease agreement or hotel reservation (for SK or Thailand I don’t know so I submitted both).

Thanks for all the help 🥰

Guys, first of all, sorry if my question seems silly, but after considering my options—since I train Muay Thai and also work remotely—why should I apply for the DTV under the workation category instead of for Muay Thai? 🤔

Hi everyone I’m almost ready to send my application in Vietnam , I’m applying under workation visa , for the account balance , how do I request the specific one for this manner with my bank? How do you call it ? Sorry for my ignorance I’m new in this kind of thing my bank is in US , also do you know if Vietnam ask for 3 months or only account balance it’s fine thank you

If I apply for the workation category DTV in one consulate and get rejected, can I apply for a soft power DTV in another consulate? Any potential issues with that? Is there a minimum time I need to wait between applications?

Has anyone applied for a DTV (workation) visa from within South Africa, and if so how did you do this?

There seems to be conflicting advice. The embassy forwards us to the online application, the only application directs us to an agent VCS) and the agent is directing us to the embassy.

Paying it forward (thanks all):

Approved from the Thai Embassy Canberra, Australia - Workation category.

Documents submitted:

- Cover letter explaining business and nature of my work.

- Screenshot of Google Search results of my business

- Screenshot of my work portfolio

- Most recent invoice

- Profit and Loss statement

- Balance sheet

- Australian Business Registration certificate

Financials

- Cover letter explaining net worth

- Bank statements verifying letter

My thoughts:

- Make it easy; embassy staff don't wanna decode your unexplainable waffle of documents. Number the subsequent pages in your cover letter and explain their reasoning/purpose.

- The nature of the visa is discretionary, so build an image of your entite situation as if you're building a legal case (as you are, in many regards)

- Meaningful proof is the most important. You can't fake a strong online presence or a long-lasting business registration.

- Use an online tool to condense and compile your PDFs

My husband just received approval for his e-visa (workation) via Los Angeles (US). Should I be applying for my DTV (spouse) e-visa under his user account? Or do I create my own account to apply for the visa which will ultimately be linked to his approved visa? Thanks for any info.

I just got my DTV visa approved from the Thai embassy in kuala Lumpur .. but I have to say it was not easy 😅
