2 . If my german client sends his company certificate in german will it need translating.

3 . does each client need a letter of approval to work remotely and a contract

Hi!

Does anyone have recent experience with Jakarta or any embassy in Vietnam? (Processing time). I havent heard too much good stuff about Malaysia and Laos and Cambodia both have requirements for amount of time for the 500k thb to be in the account.

Also for the digital workers. Did you upload payslips / invioces or what kind of documentation. Or just your bank statement showing 500k + thb.

I have some money spread out on different bank accounts and if i put it all on my main it would not appear as company deposits but just as a private transfer from me to me. Has anyone been in the same situation.

Thanks in advance

My DTV workcation was approved today after submitting on the morning of the 4th of April before the HCMC consulate opened.

Knowing there was 3 days of holidays meaning the consulate was going to be closed (the following Monday + the next Monday + Tuesday for Songkran).

I didn't expect to get my visa until maybe the 18th.

Was asked for additional documents on the 8th (payslips/statement with deposits highlighted + portfolio).

Status change to pending approval on the 9th.

Received my approval email at 6:20pm today the 16th.

Notes about my application.

I used a Wise account statement to show my funds and to show my pay from my company. I was mildly concerned with using Wise as the bank, but having read everyone else's experience with Vietnam and HCMC I felt that it was fine.

I had only moved my funds into the Wise account a few days beforehand as well. No seasoning at all. Though my statement displayed ample activity of transactions from the last six months.

My portfolio was quite long at 27 pages and to fit it under the 3mb upload limit, the images were compressed heavily. I was worried that would be a demerit in my application so I included in my cover letter for the portfolio a web link to an uncompressed version of the PDF.

Not sure whether that helped or not.

Very strict and particular on every detailed, if you ever going to apply from here make sure you have every single document and you know exactly what you will doing and planned.

Good luck and thank you to everyone for their advice!

Hello. So is this what they need? Or more?

It is certificate from the platform that I am working with them

And I can ask for more details

But, is this enough? Or it should be stamped or what is their requirements?

Or what should I do to make it better

( I am an online freelance teacher) so this is not a contract

Thank you for your help

Hi everyone, i recently applied for the DTV visa in HCMC, Vietnam on the 2nd of April. They asked for additional documents on the 4th and since hasn’t had any updates. I would love to return to Thailand for Songkran. Do you think my visa will get approved?! Should I be worried?!

I'm applying at the KL embassy, i picked medical which may have been wrong, but i've been undergoing PRP/stem cell treatments on my knees and shoulders with ample proof for the last 6 months.

Anyways, I believe I can get those figured out, however, other request documents such as... Other request documents ( Proof of prolonged residence in Thailand for at least 6 months, such as a condominium rental agreement, lease agreement etc. )

baffles me. I currently do not have a lease agreement signed, as it would be crazy to sign a long term lease without knowing that i've been approved for the visa. How do i deal with this?

This group was helpful when i prepared my application so i wanted to return the favor and share my experience with applying for DTV in phnom penh, cambodia.

I am a self employed developer and so I applied for workcation on Friday march 28 around 9pm. Visa approved today April 11. Exactly 14 days (2 weekends included) from application to approval.

I was previously on a spouse extention for 3 years and before that on ed visas. This seems to have not been an issue at all.

I was not asked for anything extra. My visa status was updated to "pending approval" on march 31 (first day after the weekend) and then went to "Approved" today. No news or changes in between.

Documents submitted:

I am a bit of an over preparer so I spend a good 4 days preparing 3 pdfs. Each pdf had a clickable table of contents and I highlighted a lot important information.

1. Proof of location.

- Scan of passport stamp arriving in cambodia

- I asked for payment receipt in the hotel and included it.

- Also included my e-boarding pass to cambodia

- added a cover letter to explain I flew from Bangkok to cambodia and that I understand I have to stay in cambodia until I receive a decision

2. Proof of financials

I flew out of Thailand on the same day that I applied for the visa. Flew in the afternoon and applied in the evening. Before leaving thailand, I went to kbank branch and asked for signed statements and a signed cover letter stating I have 500 000 baht in the account on the same day as the application. I provided 4 months statement but only 1 good month had the 500 000 in it. Before that the balance was just over 100 000. I do use the bankaccount daily or so they can see that.

- Signed and stamped bank statement from thai kbank

- signed and stamped cover letter from kbank

- payslips covering the same 4 months of the statement

- a coverletter in which I explain where my money comes from and also included a currency conversion table so they easily could understand the payslips in euro vs the bank statements in baht.

3. Proof of business.

I included a 27 page pdf to proof I have my own company. This pdf included:

- Coverletter of almost 3 pages.

- Employment contract to myself, signed by myself and it stated that I am allowed to work remote which I also highlighted.

- Proof of business incorporation in estonia.

- Result of my company financials of the last 5 years.

- Portfolio overview with a lot of screenshots and explanations and links to online sites to proof everything I was saying.

- Screenshots of my website and customer testimonials.

Super smooth for me in cambodia. Just have to be aware that it will take around 2 weeks. If you are fine with that then cambodia seems like the place to apply from.

Cheers.
