hi, guys. Thank you for the all precious info here!!

But I got an issue. I submitted all the documents I had prepared about 2 weeks ago, but today I got an email for additional documents request. But here I have 2 questions I need you guys' help for.

1. I am not a business owner but they requested "Certificate of Business Registration". I am a free lancer English teacher so I already submitted employment certificates of the companies I am working with and my resume but they are asking this now.

2. I already submitted my resume and the hotel reservation documents but they requested my resume again and"Lease /Rental Agreement with the detailed contents".

for these what should I do?

Those of you that were asked for an In Person Interview, can you please share what you were asked? And the embassy you applied at?

Hi everyone,

I just got a request to submit further documents.

1. I submitted sponsorship letter from employer and bank certificate showing only balance. (I have spendings in EUR, USD and local currency, so bank statements will be in 3 currencies separately if I submit like that). I can also submit only salaries for whatever period, it’s not even specified. I transferred 500000 from savings account to show before applying (Jan 14). Please advice what’s the best approach?

2. I submitted employment certificate and organization registration papers both in English, not sure what to do here.

Any ideas please?

Thanks a lot!

little help guys

I have a new employment certificate

I also got my employment contract but I started this job 7 years ago and the company has slightly changed names as they merged with another company. Is this still ok?

Thanks

Are they asking for proof of employment with the soft power activities? Or should I put unemployed? Will that affect anything or do I need to be employed even with 500k baht?

Finally got my DTV approved. Here's how my process went:

Applied at the US Washington Embassy under the Workation Category

- Applied at the end of December

- After 2 days, I received a request for more docs, which were Employment Verification and Location. I provided all of those.

- After a few days, I received a request for payment slips. I provided my deposit slips from clients.

- After a few days, I received a request for my actual IRS tax filing.

All in all, it took 1 whole month from submission to getting approved. I've read some people getting it a lot sooner (few days). But I would budget at least 1 month.

Also, be ready to provide a ton of documents like tax filings, payment slips and anything related to your client work. Its totally normal for them to reach out several times during the process requesting additional documents.

Hope that helps!

Have you all ever been in a situation like this? I can show all my employment certificates, but there is difficulty in showing the signer’s passport due to Confidential. Any suggestions for this situation? I am currently applying in Hanoi, VN under remote work.

Hello everyone,

I applied for DTV in Hanoi on Sunday night (19th) and have already attached my employment contract and related documents. I am currently working remotely for a company based in Singapore.

Today, I received a request for additional documents, but I am not entirely sure what they are asking for. Has anyone experienced a similar situation before? If so, could you please share what additional documents were required?

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice. Thank you in advance!

P.S : I am Myanmar Passport holder
