Regarding "remote worker" category and payslips for application via Hanoi in February 2025:

Are payslips necessary to submit or best way forward? Explain situation in a cover letter?

Background: I am employed since March 2024, but for technical reasons, the company I am working for was only able to hire me as a full-time service worker in 2024. This means, in 2024, my company required me to write them invoices and they paid me my monthly salary based upon these invoices. Therefore, I do not have any payslips for 2024, but my bank statement shows the monthly salary transfer.

I am receiving my first salary with a payslip this month in January 2025.

How to deal with this situation when applying? Any suggestions welcome!

Three days after submission, Ho Chi Minh authorities requested additional documents, including six months of bank statements (not just the balance), company profile information, proof of qualifications for the role, payslips, and more evidence of my current location. I provided a hotel booking, passport stamp into Vietnam, boarding card, and a selfie outside the hotel with the keycard.

Compiling the PDF under 3MB was tricky on my Mac. I dragged photos and screenshots into Pages, exported them as “good” quality, and combined individual PDFs using the Preview app. Fingers crossed for approval!

I had to extend my flight as approval by Friday seems unlikely. The fee to change was only 1500 baht. I’m considering heading to the beach instead of staying in Ho Chi Minh for another week, though they might still request an interview.

Applying in Ho Chi Minh City now - is a tax return an essential requirement if you are a remote worker? Or payslips and a letter of confirmation of employment enough.

The admin person at my company are on holiday for a few weeks and I can't find my tax return

Any help would be appreciated

How can I give 6 months payslips if I have only been employed 2 months?

I am applying for my DTV visa next week in Jakarta. I’m hearing there is potential for them to ask me for 6 months payslips/bank account history however I have only been employed for 2 months. Has anyone had this problem?

Hi all. I have a question re: the non-O visa based on marriage to a Thai national.

If I obtain the initial non-O at Savannakhet / Ho Chi Minh (no financials), and then apply for a 1 year extension within 90 days here in Bangkok, what would I need to show re: income - i.e. is it a certain number of payslips or are they just looking to see an employment contract?

The reason that I ask is that my job is likely to start around the same time that I get the non-O. Thanks in advance!
