Hi, can you apply for workation dtv if you don't have tax slips or even pay tax. Where I come from if you are not living there you don't pay tax on income earned abroad or even income from local companies you freelance for.

I have not been in a country long enough to become tax resident either since turning freelance a few months ago.

I have an exclusive contract as consultant and can provide contract and invoices but those invoices are in my name not a business name, I don't have a business. Can of course provide screenshot, proof of work, company will write a letter and so it is just this tax thing that concerns me.

Thanks very much

Hello community!

I read that there are more than few cases of being questioned upon entry and having to show some documents (workation) that should match the one you used to apply.

Is this true?

Is it possible to apply for DVT from Vietnam (Hanoi) as a tourist in the country?

Applying for the workation/remote worker path, does it matter if my employer is not in my home country?

TIA!

Applied for Workation from Bali online on Sunday July 13th, got my approval on Friday night July 18th. Flew to Koh Samui the next morning and got in, no questions asked. He smiled and said "DTV", seemed excited to see one haha.

I don’t post much in this group, but I’ve been reading everything for the past month or so—and I just want to say thank you to the community.

I finally got my DTVI. I flew into Hanoi on July 8th and got the visa on July 18th.

No extra documents were requested. Here’s what I submitted ahead of time:

* Hotel confirmation

* Entry stamp

* Cash App statements from the last three months

* Business registration

* EIN

* Articles of organization

* Receipt from registering my business

* Client portfolio showing the actual work I do

* A work letter from myself, since I own Tony Destin LLC (to be honest, I had ChatGPT help write it)

That’s it.

I know a lot of people have been trying to go the Muay Thai visa route, but I avoided that since there’s been a bunch of issues with it lately. I came in on the workation path, and it ended up being pretty straightforward.

After my separation we also lost our visa for Thailand by end of June 😞

I applied for a Worcation Visa at the Munich Consulate. Sent them all requested documents (some of them just in German). After 10 days they requested a "professional portfolio". I sent my portfolio via the platform and within 3 hours my visa was approved.

Immediately I applied with my approved visa the child visa for my 16 yr old daughter. I could not deliver a 500.000 Baht (15.000 Euro) bank account statement, because she is not 18 years old. I sent instead a sponsor letter, that I will be in charge for all costs etc.

7 days later her visa also was approved.

A big Thank you to the Munich Consulate. The did NOT just rejected like obviously other Consulats. They asked for further documents. I delivered and they approved immediately.

Also during Covid I just had outstanding experiences with the Munich Consulate. Thanks again to them! 🙏

In reality does it actually matter under what category you apply? Workation or Soft Power? The actual visa is exactly the same.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently in Vietnam preparing a file for a DTV (Workation) visa application.

I currently have :

* Bank statements from my European bank showing over 500,000 THB over the past 3 months.

* Screenshots of my crypto wallet with over 3 million THB.

* A portfolio showing my income (exclusively from crypto), including an Excel sheet detailing the revenue and supporting screenshots.

* A screenshot of my Booking.com reservation in Vietnam.

* A "motivation letter" explaining why I want to go to Thailand and roughly how I'm financially independent thanks to crypto.

* A passport photo.

I plan to go in person to the Thai embassy in Hanoi to apply for the visa.

Do I need any additional documents? Is there a form I need to fill out? If so, where can I download and print it?

Do you think my application might be rejected because all my income comes from crypto?

Thanks in advance! 😊

Hello,

I applied for the DTV (worcation - freelancer) in Phnom Penh on June 22 and it was approved today. No additional documents asked. Thank you everyone for all the information I found here! It was a great help. If anyone has any questions don't hesitate to ask...

Hi everyone! I’m on the DTV visa (Workation category) and have a couple of quick questions about the new Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC):

1. For “Country/Territory of Residence”, should I select Thailand if I rent an apartment here and live in Thailand full-time (no residence anywhere else)? Or should I still put my passport country?

2. For “Purpose of Travel”, is it best to select “Holiday”, since we don’t have a Thai work permit? Or is there a better option for DTV visa holders?

Have any of you entered Thailand after the TDAC was implemented while holding a DTV visa, and what did you do? If you have something else to recommend, please do let me know. Thanks in advance for any advice!
