Hello, I have 2 questions :)

1- how do you get the physical stamp of the visa after it approves? How does this process work?

2- does your freelance contract need to be notary approved?

Sawadika dear community,

has anyone done non-b visa application from Malaysia recently?

I am interested to know at which consulate the process goes faster-

1. Penang

2. Kuala Lumpur

3. Kota Bharu

What the process of applying is?

Recommendations in terms of hotel/airbnb where to stay in Malaysia

Any and all recommendations are much appreciated

Thank you 🙏🪷

Admin if this post is acceptable I would appreciate the groups input

Interested to hear feedback on what seems to be a unique situation.

Applied DTV online 12th November using Malaysia as my application country (Australian passport holder with long term resident visa in Malaysia)

Received email request next day for 6 documents to be provided with two needing "Embassy authentication" (Malaysian Foreign affairs department authentication with notary endorsement as my company and employment contract are both Malaysian)

Managed to get both these completed in one day and submitted Thursday 14th along with passport all pages, proof of rental in Thailand and proof of income (even though funds proof had been provided)

Everything was perfect, until it wasn't..

Status show awaiting approval and then a system email was received stating

"Your visa application has been cancelled. Applicant’s date of expiry passport provided is incorrect with passport biodata page. (13 Sep 2033)

*Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do NOT reply to this email."

(yes, 13th Sept 2033 is the correct expiry date)

I emailed Thai embassy with the passport attached showing the expiry as correct but received no reply

Has anyone experienced anything like this

#Note. When I loaded the biodata page at the beginning of the application as requested, the auto page came up stating passport expiry 1933 as below photo

I edited the application as instructed but I can only think that there is a web page glitch and I seem to have no recourse

Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Approved in Jakarta - Soft Power(Muay Thai)

The process was smooth and stress free.

I recommend going early in the morning around 07:00. Check the documents multiple times and organize them well. There are people who spend a long time for checking and organizing their documents in front of the counter. Don't do that. The people waiting outside are suffering from the hot weather.

Korean passport holder

Visa fee : free for Koreans(also Singaporeans, Malaysians and Tunisians)

Processing time : 3 business days

Documents

- passport bio page

- 2 recent photos

- proof of stay in Jakarta

(hotel reservation and EVOA details)

- in and out flight ticket

- bank A's statement for 6 months

(transferred approx 500k THB 1 day before applying; my main account, so there are many transactions)

- bank B's statement for 6 months

(deposited approx 250k THB for ages; I don't use this account, so there are no transactions)

- muay thai gym documents

(3 months course; highly recommend Tiger Eye Martial Arts if you are staying in Bangkok)

- condo lease/rental agreement

(not required, but I thought it might help with the visa application)

Can you save your work? Before I begin the online DTV application process, I'd like to know if I can stop and save my work at any step in the application process, and then sign back in and pick up where I left off. I can see where there might be steps where they ask for documentation that I haven't prepared, and I will need to stop and get that documentation before proceeding. Thanks.

DTV approved in Hanoi within 80 hours, under workcation category.

Documents submitted:

Passport Profile Page

Photo

Bank statement for 3 months

Vietnam immigration entry stamp + paid hotel confirmation

Employer’s statement confirming my position and remote working status + employment contract confirming my remote working status + company registration

Online application submitted at 10:40 AM on Monday

Status changed to pending approval around 11 AM on Tuesday

E-visa sent to email at 6 PM on Thursday

If you prepare well, they will not even need to ask for additional document and info and make their and your lives easier.

Good luck all and thanks to everyone who contributed back to this group!

Hello! Has anyone applied from Paris?

How did you find the process?

and need to have the VISA on the passport or can have E-Visa

Thanks! 🩷

Applied for e-visa a few days ago, just received this. Has anyone got anything similar before? Or what do you think could be the reason for it? location: Penang, Malaysia

Hi, I had to change my passport, can I transfer my DTV visa from my old passport to the new one?

I’m in HCMC (Vietnam) for 10 days, then I’m flying back to Canada. Is it safe to apply for DTV soft power or is that too tight? If I start application in Vietnam with e-visa, can I do the follow up and send extra documents if needed from my home country? Or application gets automatically rejected? Thanks
