Hi there, I applied for DTV (Workcation) at Delhi Consulate on 28 May and got 'Application Cancelled. Disqualified'.

Here is the overview of the info and documents I submitted:

1. Have visited Thailand before: Yes (but this was from my old passport and I got renewed passport just few days before applying DTV)

2. Proof of current address: Arrival stamp in India from 15 days before applying the visa (but this was from old passport) yet nothing about old passport I mentioned in the application.

3. Proof Of Remote Work: Provided my NZ and India Company Extract initially. Was requested Employment contract 5 days after I applied, which I created and signed and stamped myself with all details regarding remote work, salary/dividend etc.

4. Proof of funds: Deposited 16k USD worth of BTC into Xapo Bank, converted to USD 1 day before applying the visa and sent the USD statement. Also there were multiple transaction of 2k-3k USD in and out every day from last 3 months. Also added Revolut NZD statement for 3 months which had not much balance but numerous transactions of 2k-3k USD and also many card transactions in Thailand.

5. Was also asked more documents for current address proof, for which I sent my Indian driver license and National ID (Adhaar).

3 days after submitting the additional documents, I got the email 'Application Cancelled. Disqualified'.

Now I am planning to apply again but don't want to make any mistakes. I am currently in Thailand 60 day visa free and planning to transfer my BTC again to Xapo bank again but this time keep for 3 months after converting to USD. But I am not sure that the bank statement may have caused the application cancellation last time. Could it be passport arrival stamp before the even the passport was issued? Could it be the self attested employment certificate?

What are your guesses and advice?

Would really appreciate any response! Thank you

Hi all,

I’m about to apply for the DTV at the London embassy (workaction). Here is what I have:

Passport

Photograph

Work contract

Cert of employment

3 months of payslips

Bank statement with 20k GBP (1 month)

On the bank statement side, I moved the money from another account only 7 days ago, should I wait the full month before applying?

Is there anything else I need, or anything I’ve forgotten?

Thank you in advance!

So, I am the person who posted yesterday about needing an appointment for the DTV.

1. I didn't need an appointment in Koh Samui

2. After all the paperwork I gave I needed more.

3. Waiting for my landlord to send me a receipt for the rent.

4. I don't think they will give it to me even when I give them what they want.

5. Has anyone succeeded in extending. I think it's not possible.

6. I will update when I get the receipt

Edit: People who have real documents but want to try by themselves. Please read this. I went to embassy and learnt 500k should be in account for 3 months or should be stable. Not ok with ending balance 500k even though it is your real money.

I have just got rejected mail in Hanoi. I believe I attached every documents. I have sent the clarification email and am waiting for the reply.

1. Myanmar Nationality

2. Australia based company

3. Submitted company registration, employment contract, remote permission, Company profile, resume, portfolio link, cover letter indicating that I am not working for Thailand company, payslips 3 months, Wise transfer email, Company website.

4. Vietnam Entry Stamp, Hotel booking

5. Bank statement 6 months with Ending balance 500k

My question is should I resubmit in Hanoi or better apply in HCMC?

Good day everyone.

I’m new here just have few questions to ask and if anyone can help.

I just arrived Thailand about two weeks ago from Canada. So I’m Canadian. I’m a business owner in for over 4years. I will like to apply for the DTV visa or if any other advice can be given. I already got an apartment here with 6 months lease. So what will be the best way for me to apply? What are the requirements for business owners. Also I will be traveling outta the country( Thailand ) very frequently maybe every 2 months. So do I really need the DTV if ever or what advice can u give please?

Will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

I'm applying for the DTV under the Workcation category in HMC.

I've been asked: "Please provide details about your current work, including the examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications."

I've already submitted:

* LinkedIn Profile PDF

* Employer Company Commercial License

* Employment Confirmation Letter

* Employment Contract

I don't know what else they want. I'm a VP of Engineering working full-time remotely (not a freelancer), so I don't have a traditional portfolio. I'm planning to submit a concise work summary outlining my role and responsibilities, along with a notarised copy of my university degree. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything else you think I should add? Thanks!!

Hello group ✨

I have a question about the legality of online employment when applying for the Soft power Muay Thai DTV visa. Is it legal to work online for an overseas company in this visa category? From what I’ve read in the group and online, many who applied for soft power are showing income from overseas (and they ask for proof) so it seems ok, but it’s not the workcation option and legally it seems a bit grey.

Is it better to say unemployed or student?

I’m applying from Hanoi this week and a little worried now with posts about rejections…

Thank you 🙏🏼

Hello everyone.

I'm going to apply for DTV next week from Pakistan. I'm a faceless content creator on YouTube. My work is fully remotely, and I can prove my work, my earnings, and my bank statements.

Can anyone help me regarding what exactly documents I need to submit? Or is there any Whatsapp group about this visa?

Me and 2 of my friends just got rejected in Hanoi, what's wrong with that consulate?!

500k+ thb bank statement showing all transactions for the last 6 months. IT job with 2500$+ salary per month (employment agreement, job cover letter, company registration, paystubs for the last 6 months, 2024 tax declaration)

OK, I've heard that they reject randomly, but 3 person in 1 day 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Can we apply in Jakarta now? Or any other consulates recommendations?
