Hi everyone, has anyone recently secured the DTV as a remote worker while in Vietnam? I’m from the U.S. but live in Bangkok and will leave for Vietnam next week to pursue the DTV. I have my offer letter stating that I’m a remote IT worker, my boss also wrote a letter to double down on that as well, I have $18k in savings that I’ve saved up the last 4 months or so. I also signed a lease on an apartment here in bangkok I plan to stay in Vietnam at least 2 weeks. Do you think it’s enough? I don’t have 6 months of statements amounting to $18k each month.

I am US citizen, who owns his own business in the US and I don't pay myself a salary but installments. I have shown that I have more than $500K baht requirement with supporting documents to show I own 100% of my business but I have been requested to provide the following below...

It's frustrating because my fiancé got approved with no problem as a business owner but I keep getting asked for more documents... Mind you this is with the Thai Embassy in Los Angeles, CA.

Has any other business owners had to provide the following:

* Other request documents: Guarantee letter from the company implies that you work remotely

* Other request documents: Employment contract or employment certificate from company

I’ve lived in Thailand for 6 months on an Edvisa. I have 6 months left but the goal is secure a DTV. I am in the process of opening my own business in the US and I’m wondering what information is required? By the time I apply for the DTV my business will only be 6 months old. Is tax information required? Anyone apply within the first year of business? Any info. Would help. Thank you 😊

Hi all!

What happens when you leave the company you worked for remotely while applying for DTV? moving to a new remote job or starting a freelance career?

Thanks!

Applying for DTV as employee vs contractor.

I've been offered a contract, but technically I'm being hired as a contractor. I've got supporting documents, such as a letter stating I have permission to work remotely from Thailand.

However, I've attached an excerpt from the contract. I'm pretty sure any embassy is going to make the interpretation that I am a freelancer, and will want to see business registration, invoices, portfolio, etc. I have none of those things.

I'm planning to apply at HCMC, but at this point I'm considering whether there would even be a point to applying, as the contract presents me more as a freelancer and I can't provide those supporting documents.

It seems like the only way to qualify would be a more straightforward employment contract, but the employer says that would not be possible since they don't have a branch in Thailand.

Apologies for the somewhat vague question. I'd be thankful for any advice.

Good morning, I write books and I receive monthly royalties from a literary agent. I don't have a company. In your opinion, can I apply for the DTV as a freelance digital nomad?

Thank you

Canadians in Thailand, I want to know your DTV process!

Question for the Group:

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some guidance. When applying for the DVT, I know there’s a certain amount you need to have in your account, but what’s the minimum salary requirement for remote work? What’s the lowest amount they’ll accept as income?

Would really appreciate any insight—thanks in advance!

To give some context, I work remotely for a company and I've applied for the DTV visa online. I received an email for additional documents which just made things confusing for me. They are asking me for the following (this is a literal copy and paste):

* 1.Please provide your resume and how to work remotely (signature and seal of the person in charge)

* 2.Please upload the proof of salary paid to you by the company and transferred to the bank and bank statement (need have holder name)

I'm not sure what is "how to work remotely". I provided my contract, employee certificate which is signed and company registration certificate.

I also provided a bank statement and statements from the company I work for the transfer they did to my bank account.

This is getting kinda frustrating and it looks scammy because of their bad English. There is also no way for me to contact them and reach out for more info. Anyone had a similar experience?

Thanks!
