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?

submission: 27 Mai 2025

approved : yesterday 9th.

workation.

docs: Passport scan / Portfolio + resume including my personal websites. + my Indonesian Kitas as proof of address + bank statement.

submit / wait / Approved.

mainly to secure a second "home" beside my residency in Indonesia + to be able to do motorcycle roadtrips ... on ease.

wish to all of u ... best of luck! and see ya soon in there. if there are any of u living in Indonesia as expat and submitting for DTV visa or you are into design/creative industry... let's connect.

When the embassy asks for further documents - is this one time request or can be multiple requests?

I was asked to provide single document which I immediately added... does this mean that other documents were ok, just needed the missing one, or that I still could be asked for futher documents?

I got the request within 24 hours of submitting the initial application.

Hello people, i am talking to people who already apply for DTV Visa in chicago, what are additional documents will they ask me for? I have my passport, clear picture of me, I have 15,000 in bank account, I have driver's license, I have employment certificate and professional portfolio showcasing my work saying i can do remote work in any country. The additional documents that I do have is LLC and Employer identification number if they need it so what other documents they will ask me for please need this information.

Hi everyone, does anyone managed to get a reason from Hanoi Embassy (or any Embassy) if DTV application is cancelled ? I applied with soft power

Sunday 25: submit and paid

Tuesday 27: additional documents requested and I provided

Later Tuesday 27: pending approval

Just now: application cancelled

I have no idea what I do wrong, I follow all the advices found in this group. I prepared only accurate document and double check all information I input on website.

I’m lost because I was really counting on this visa and I don’t know what to changes for next application, as I don’t know what was wrong on this one…

Hello. I got my DTV visa 6 months ago and I now have to do my first border run. I've read that extensions are difficult so I'm opting for a border run by air.

When I re-enter Thailand, is there any documents I need to provide or is my passport with the DTV visa all I need?

Thank you.

Chaengwattana extension - staying with Thai Wife

If anyone is interested, here is a copy of the documents required list from Chaengwattana for extension on reason of Thai wife, received May 2025. Document is dated October 2023.

PS: Last year information counter told me to get the form from section L. Yesterday section L told me to get the form from Information counter (which is much better as it's much faster).

Super anxious after applying for DTV in Kuala Lumpur over a week ago. Blowing up money on hotels, trying to do things outside but it just stresses me so much I can't as I have bad feelings. They hit me with requirements which I didn't expect earlier and sadly I didn't read this group before and anyway have tickets to KL for planned short trip so I thought I will apply here.

I have very complicated work situation. Company I worked for is registered in one country (there is not even consulate of this country to authenticate; they inform on website it must be done in embassy in... Bangkok, as they don't provide such services) and contract with address from another country (as they hire contractors from country with low taxes, most likely), digitally signed by both parties using Docusign.

I uploaded all of it a week ago but not exactly like they want from this very demanding list...

Any success stories from KL, Malaysia to cheer me up?

DTV-approved (Workcation)

Applied in Jakarta. Submitted on May 18. The status stayed on "pending document check" until May 28 when they requested extra documents. I uploaded the documents on the same day, and the status changed to "pending approval." Get approved on 29

It might be helpful for someone: as I am Chilean, I sent all the documents and bank statements in Spanish. I just added one page in English describing what was attached.

Good luck 🍀

My retirement visa is expiring on June 21st (Saturday).

I am flying back to Chiang Mai on June 18th. I will of course point at immigration first thing in the morning!

Is two days (Thursday 19th, and Friday 20th) long enough to renew the visa? I worry about hiccups/processing delays.

Is it ok if apply before visa expiration, and receive the visa extension after expiration?
