Approved 😀

Thank you to this group for providing such valuable information!!!! To pay it forward, here's how my application went.

Applied in HCM on Wednesday 15/01 around 8PM for Muay Thai DTV

Had a quick look on Friday 17/01 and saw status moved to pending approval

Was getting a bit nervous today (business day #5) as I didn't want to be stuck here for Tet. Emailed the consulate this morning (no reply) and called them at 4:30PM (30 minutes before closing). The lady on the phone said my application would be approved today or tomorrow, I asked her if it please can be today and she said she'd speak to the consul.

40 minutes later (5:10PM) I got the approval email.

Documents:

Proof of location: pdf with a picture of entry stamp, boarding pass, hotel booking and Vietnam visa

Financial: Savings account 01/07/2024 - 15/01/2025 (day of application), there was well over THB500K in the account for the entire period. I gave them monthly statements with all transactions and beginning/end amounts (Dutch bank, did not translate the statements)

Muay Thai:

* letter of endorsement

* letter of enrolment (8 months training, start date, also stating I had paid 1 month ahead and will be living in the gym)

* training schedule

* gym business registration

* sports authority registration

* house book gym

* house book gym owner

* ID (back and front) gym owner

Form

Home address: hotel in HCM

Permanent address: gym in Thailand

Thai address: gym in Thailand

Employment: unemployed (I'm actually a freelancer but between contracts so technically not lying)

My background

November '21 - July '23 countless visa exempts, a few tourist visa's, extensions, border runs and (remember those?) 2 COVID extensions

July '24 - now ED visa + 1 ED extension (did not get a re-entry stamp when I left last week), visa I got through a language school

I genuinely train at the gym, have been since 2018, it's a relatively small, family-owned gym that only does DTV for people who will actually attend training (so unless you're willing to do so, don't ask which gym it is 😉)

Flying back tomorrow, will update this post to let you know how immigration went (Phuket).

UPDATE re entry: Entered through Phuket Intl Airport, the IO studied my ED visa and extension, told me I don't have to do fingerprints, only photo and didn't ask any questions, stamped me in for 180 days. Easy peasy ☺️

My workation DTV Visa application has been approved by the Ho Chi Minh embassy in Vietnam.

I submitted my application via the evisa system, and it took 5 days to receive the application approval email. No extra documents requested.

I read a lot of useful information in this group, so I am sharing my experience to help others. Here are the documents I included:

## Proof of current location:

1. Vietnam passport stamp

2. Hotel booking confirmation

3. Selfie outside hotel in Vietnam

4. Flight to Thailand

## Proof of employment:

1. Cover letter describing my business and how it functions entirely remotely.

2. Business registration document

3. Certificate of Incorporation

4. Signed document appointing myself as director

5. Screenshots of stripe payouts and gross volume.

6. Screenshots of the business website, and stripe analytics page.

## Personal documents:

1. Passport bio data page

2. Two bank account statements, each with 500k+. Showing 6 months of data.

Other Points:

* The maximum file size for the PDF documents is 3MB. You can also only upload one document for each section. I used adobe acrobat to compile the files, you can select "reduce file size" at export to keep it well below 3MB.

* Double check all of your details are entered correctly. I have seen other applications get rejected for not adding their middle name for example. Rejection = pay the application fee again.

* Recently, I noticed many posts of embassies requesting more documents. One is 6 months of bank statements, and the other is a booked flight to Thailand. Make sure to include these to avoid the extra trouble.

Feel free to comment any questions and I'll do my best to help.

Hi everyone! what is the document required for DTV visa if I want to apply for Muay Thai course? Confirmation letter and receive are enough or not?

I've recently applied (online) for a DTV through the Embassy in Kuala Lumpur. Does anyone have experience of how long they take to process online applications in KL?

Quick question about the bank account statements and so on, as i want to get this done in the first try:

I am a US citizen applying in Ho Chi Minh and I have been a self employed business consultant for over 5 years.

What specific documents do i need that have been working the best for others in the group? (Ex: EIN, State corporation LLC paperwork, client contracts, etc)

Then in regards to banking:

Is it okay to use 6 my personal statements from different personal accounts or does it need to all be from one bank?

Also could i use the business bank account statements in place of my own?

Much appreciated 🙏

I just got my DTV Approved in Jakarta.

This is what i submitted

-1 Copy of my passport

-proof The airbnb stay in Jakarta

-Indonesia Temporary stay(u get that in email)

-3 months Bank statements and a google screenshot showing How much it is from my currency to Baht.

-Filed out the application

-1 Doctor appointment that i got online for free. i just booked 1 doctor appointment for 20 Nov, got eMail confirming that its confirmed, i printed that out and thats it.

Wish you all luck, Jakarta is really one of the easiest when it comes to this.

Question regarding bank statements:

As you might know, the current month’s bank statement (with the proper name and address) is usually only available for download at the start of the next month. If you’re applying in the last week of the month and the statement isn’t ready yet, how do you handle this?

Do you just screenshot the transactions from the website or bank app (even if they don’t include the name and address) to show activity for that month? Is it better to print them on the day of your appointment or walk-in, or is it acceptable to print a few days before?

I understand it might vary by consulate, but could you please share what you did for your DTV application and which consulate you applied at?

Thanks!

Hi all, I am wanting to apply for my toddler for a dependant DTV from Australia. However what document would I provide for indicate the current location- she is not on any of our bills 🧐 Also she doesn’t have her own bank account - does she need one?

Also, do I need to have my DTV first before I apply for hers? I am a little confused. Thank you 🙏

“Hi everyone! I have a few questions regarding the e-visa process I’m from Egypt

1. What documents are required for the application?

2. Do I need to provide an HR letter as part of the process?

3. Can I apply together with my fiancé as a couple, or do we need to apply separately?

4. I’ve heard that a document indicating my current location is necessary—what kind of document would that be, and how can I provide it?

Any advice would be appreciated. 😃Thanks!”🙏

I just got DTV approved with online application!!
