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.

I am a UK National applying for DTV

I have my own UK registered limited company, and will document an approval letter for myself as employee to work remotely from Thailand.

Does anyone have an example of the contents of this type of approval letter?

I want to make sure of course that I document it correctkly.

Many thanks

Has anyone here applied for a remote job with NGO? I haven’t seen any posts about it in this group and would love to hear about your experiences.

Has anyone had any experience and success in applying for a LTR visa as a 'work from Thailand professional'? I'm looking at the process time line (as shown here) and can't figure out at what point you pay for your application, is it after you have been approved after your documents have been reviewed that you are eligible or right at the start of the application?

Also, is it easy enough to apply without an agency (I'm from the UK)? I'd like to hear people's experiences.

Hi 🙂 while thinking very hard which route to go, I was surprised to see LTR may actually be an option for me.

I (and my employer) do meet all the below requirements. Does anyone here have some expertise LTR?

My question is simply this:

Would it still be an option if I say I spend 5-6

months out of the year in Thailand, rest in Europe? (Moving tax recidency is something doubt my company would be willing to fascilitate, they would probable offer to transfer me to Hong Kong instead)
