I tried to get a DTV from a cooking school in Korea, but I was rejected. In this case, it would be meaningless to supplement the documents and put them back in Korea, right?

When your DTV status changes to pending approval is that a good sign or still 50/50?

Hi group,

I got approved, thank you for the information here!!

I had been ROMing this group since last year, but was really nervous about applying until I was approved. 😅

I’d like to share my experience as an example.

📍 Embassy: Hanoi (Vietnam)

🗂️ Category: Workcation

⏱️ Timeline:

* Submitted: 18th June Wed (e-mail: 8:27 AM）

* Approved: 24th June Tue (e-mail: 1:25 PM)

There was no request for additional documents.

📁Document:

Cover letter and portfolio

I included:

* Upwork documents (certificate of earnings + profile screenshot)

* Screenshots of my blog and creations (including LINE stickers)

* A remote-work freelance service agreement from a Japanese client

My Upwork earnings were about 10k USD (last July ~ this June), I didn’t include documents for my other income sources.

Writing an English cover letter was a bit tough for me as a Japanese, we are not familiar with it 😅

I included the following in my cover letter; summary of my freelance work, my purpose for staying in Thailand, a list of portfolio items (starting on the next page)

Document Indicating Current Location

* Hotel reservation documents (from OTC)

* Passport stamp showing entry to Vietnam

Financial Evidence

* I used Wise screenshot and statements (in USD and JPY, mixed)

* 6 months of records

* I was gradually saving up money, reached 500kTHB 1 month before I applied

I hope this helps 😃

Hi, thanks to your advice, my application for Non-O visa was accepted. I noticed that the immigration officer in charge of my case did not take the police certificate and the medical certificate, although they are part of the required documents. It this a common practice?

Hey gang, I'm about to apply for the DTV from Australia, and I want to make sure I've covered all my bases before submitting. If applying as a remote worker, are payslips a NECESSITY, or will proof of my employment (ie contract) suffice? The website is sparse when it comes to requirements, and I don't want to have it rejected. I've been researching posts within the group, but still can't gauge if they're 100% needed.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone have any experience going the Washington DC immigration office. Applied for DTV Visa on June 15th and still awaiting documentation check. A bit nervous since I have flight on August 1st

just now i have been asked to all the passport pages applied at jakarta embassy on 23rd

UPDATE: My Visa was officialy APPROVED on June 27, and then rejected on June 30. Applied from Ho Chi Minh. I posted about this on this community.

What happened: I contacted the HCM consulate on Line. You can see their answers on image.

Do you know what can I do ? This situation is very unfair. First, not only for this specific case but, not giving any reason for the rejection and encouring to reapply and pay again is a complete scam process. Second, I was granted the Visa, told my family, my friends in Thailand, already preparing my new life, to finally tell them I'm rejected ? I didn’t even get a chance to react or fix anything.

I’m currently in Vietnam but far from Ho Chi Minh, and I’m now stuck dealing with extra costs and confusion caused by their mistake. If I reapply can I reuse my translated bank documents (around 10/14 days old) ?

Somebody tells me the process of DTV cancellation..

- is that possible to cancel in Chaing Mai Immigration? If not, we have to go to Bangkok Immigration..

- What documents is most necessarily? Eg- all the documents what we had applied for the DTV before..

- How long it took time in waiting to complete the cancellation process?

Thanks each of you who has attention on my questions.. 🙏

I have arrived in Hua Hin, I have my none O visa. What do I need to take to immigration to get a Residency certificate? I am getting conflicting information on what I need to take with me. It is for opening a bank account.
