Does anyone know if you have to be in your home country to apply for a remote worker visa? Or can you do it whilst in Thailand? Thanks

🥳🥳 Success applying in Taipei, Taiwan as a remote worker 🥳🥳

Here is my experience:

The application process took 2 days.

I submitted the application in person in the morning. They wanted me to highlight my name, the name of my boss, name of the company, salary transfers on the bank statements, salary on the payslips on the documents. They asked me to come back in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, no questions were asked, I just needed to pay 11 000 TWD.

I had to pick up my passport with the Visa in it in the afternoon next day.

Documents I submitted:

* Employment contract (in original languages, and an officially translated version)

* Remote work certificate/letter

* Job certificate

* Company registration document

* Payslips of the past 6 months

* Bank statements of the last 6 months

* Proof of 500k baht in bank account

* Visa application form

Let me know if you have any questions, if you are applying as a remote worker, I may be able to help.

Does anyone have experience successfully getting the DTV having provided documentation supporting multiple categories (esp. in Taipei or Jakarta)?

For example, I am applying as a remote worker but I am also considering including documentation about an upcoming dental procedure I'm scheduling in Bangkok. Do you think this multi-category approach would help strengthen my application, or end up causing confusion?

Hey group I’ve applied as a remote worker and currently the visa status is ‘processing pending approval’. Problem is my flight is in 3 days. What do you think I should do ?

I was approved for the DTV out of the Los Angeles office, on my second pass. First pass was rejected because of middle name versus middle initial on application. I applied under the remote worker category.

I just saw someone post about adding a dependent after being approved. My wife is currently on the one year renewable retirement visa. We would consider adding her as a dependent of mine. I do travel back and forth to the states often. She stays in Thailand for much longer periods of time, but the 180 day max would not be an issue as we do a lot of travel to nearby countries.

I know I can research on my own, but can anyone give feedback on the process of adding her to mine and anything we should be aware of? Thanks in advance.

Just submitted paperwork in person at Jakarta

I’m hoping everything gets approved since they took my money 💰

When applying for remote worker via HCMC eVisa site, is everyone including their most recent tax return and/or been getting asked to supply it as extra documentation?

I’m looking at applying in the next few weeks and I haven’t done mine this year yet 🤔

For a remote worker route, do we need to submit a copy of my employer’s company registration? I don’t own the company. I am aware that I need an employment contract, employment certificate, etc., but the embassy websites do not list the company registration as a requirement, although some posts here do.

Received my DTV visa today from Hanoi..I really appreciate all the discussions of this group. Was really helpful.

DTV Approved. HCMC (Remote worker category).

Consulate: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Submitted Friday 10:30am

Picked up Tuesday 13:30

I over submitted documents. My cover letter already stated I was providing tax documentation so I had to hand it in. But it wasn’t required. I work through my LTD company incorporated in England

.Application form

• Personal bank statement of the last 6 months as financial evidence showing an amount greater than 500,000 THB

• Business bank account statement showing recent payment from latest client (also over 500,000 THB)

• Invoices for my latest client

• Current contract with a client - signed

• Ltd incorporation documents

My personal tax return for the last 2 years

My company's corporation tax documentation for the last 2 years

• My CV

• A portfolio showcasing my recent projects.

• My lease in Bangkok as proof of location

It looked like they were mostly interested in the bank statement. And my educated guess is anything to support your employment status is important too.
