submitted my application in Jakarta and uploaded all the required documents, including:

Scanned copies of every page of my passport

Employment certificate issued by my company

Work contract

Bank statements (with monthly salary transactions)

Proof of deposit (balance meeting 500,000 THB requirement)

Jakarta entry stamp

Hotel booking confirmation

Location screenshots

But despite all this, my application was still rejected.

I carefully checked everything and made sure there were no mistakes in my submission.

The rejection came so unexpectedly, leaving me completely unprepared.

Has anyone done a recent 180days extention in BKK? How was the process?

Hey everyone 👋

I’m planning to apply for the new DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) under the remote worker / digital nomad category.

I’m currently employed full-time by a foreign company (based in Israel), and I have a formal contract.

However, the contract doesn’t specifically mention remote work — so I’d love to get clarity:

👉 What exactly do I need to submit for the “employment certificate/contract” part?

Would an additional letter from the company confirming I’m allowed to work remotely from Thailand be enough?

Also — I’m applying from Israel. Is there anything specific I should know or prepare differently when applying from here (documents, embassies, translations, etc.)?

Any recent experience or tips would be super appreciated 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I applied for DTV (Workcation) at Delhi Consulate on 28 May and got 'Application Cancelled. Disqualified'.

Here is the overview of the info and documents I submitted:

1. Have visited Thailand before: Yes (but this was from my old passport and I got renewed passport just few days before applying DTV)

2. Proof of current address: Arrival stamp in India from 15 days before applying the visa (but this was from old passport) yet nothing about old passport I mentioned in the application.

3. Proof Of Remote Work: Provided my NZ and India Company Extract initially. Was requested Employment contract 5 days after I applied, which I created and signed and stamped myself with all details regarding remote work, salary/dividend etc.

4. Proof of funds: Deposited 16k USD worth of BTC into Xapo Bank, converted to USD 1 day before applying the visa and sent the USD statement. Also there were multiple transaction of 2k-3k USD in and out every day from last 3 months. Also added Revolut NZD statement for 3 months which had not much balance but numerous transactions of 2k-3k USD and also many card transactions in Thailand.

5. Was also asked more documents for current address proof, for which I sent my Indian driver license and National ID (Adhaar).

3 days after submitting the additional documents, I got the email 'Application Cancelled. Disqualified'.

Now I am planning to apply again but don't want to make any mistakes. I am currently in Thailand 60 day visa free and planning to transfer my BTC again to Xapo bank again but this time keep for 3 months after converting to USD. But I am not sure that the bank statement may have caused the application cancellation last time. Could it be passport arrival stamp before the even the passport was issued? Could it be the self attested employment certificate?

What are your guesses and advice?

Would really appreciate any response! Thank you

I will be applying soon in Warsaw, Poland. I’m polish citizen. My plan:

-biodata of passport ( should I add photo of page showing that I left Thailand??)

- photo taken one day before applications

- copy of polish id and sworn translation of my residency in Poland

- sworn translation bank statement indicating amount of 530 000 bht

-employment certificate ( not work agreement because I have low salary) written in English with information from my employer that I can work remotely in Thailand-should this be sworn translation also?

- documents indicating that my company has active status from tax office (should this be also sworn translation to English?

I will appreciate Any feedback .

Edit-all documents should be merged into one pdf file?

Regards

If you own your online business what did you submit for the "Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status" ?

thanks!

I'm a business owner (Photography).

Can someone give me an idea of how I should be creating a Employment contract or employment certificate?

If anyone could post theirs that got approved that would be a huge help!

If my contract says I work remotely and that I can work from anywhere, is it possible I’d still need a letter from my employer?

Anyone else applying that works remotely for a small business that doesn’t have an official HR department? What makes the letter and contract official? Is it just the letter head? Should i get it notarized? It’s a business in the USA. Thank you!
