Hi everyone.

I'm considering applying for a DTV for a workation as a business owner and have a few questions:

1. I haven't booked my flight tickets yet. Can I provide the flight number I'm planning to book, or do you require confirmed tickets? Is it acceptable if I end up booking a different flight later?

2. I intend to stay for over 100 days. My plan is to book a hotel for the first 5 days and then arrange alternative accommodation for the remainder of my stay. Is it okay to only provide information for the initial hotel? Additionally, since I don't have a hotel reservation yet, is that a necessary requirement?

Thank you!

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I have had a request of documents for my DTV.

1) a bank statement with the 500k baht ( which i sent in my original documents)

But will send again

2) business license ( which I also sent my 2024 and 2025 in my original documents) but will send again

Not sure why I have to send them when I sent them already but whatever

3) upload proof or remote work

- this is the one I need the help with, I already sent a cover letter explaining what I do ( I’m a residential Cleaning company owner) I have employees and I have a manager that runs my business, anything I do for my business I do remotely such as social media marketing, payroll, speaking with clients ( when needed and my manager can’t) scheduling etc. I put this all in my cover letter to them along with links to all my social media pages etc , what can I send them as proof of remote work with my name on it like they are requesting

Please help

I got the DTV in HCMC as a business owner with no additional docs request!! (timeline + paperwork below)

First i want to thank everyone in the group for the collective info. You guys are awesome!

Timeline:

03/12 - Arrived in Ho chi minh at night

04/12 - Visa app sent at 6:44am

09/12 - Went into pending approval around 7pm

11/12 - Approval email at 6:24pm

* 04/12 - 11/12 - I stressed myself to the gills waiting for the verdict 😂 *

Docs submitted:

* Picture of vietnam entry stamp, hotel receipt, hotel booking, and screentshot of the official email from my hotel with the receipt and hotel contact info on it just in case

* Cover letter listing why I want to live in thailand, why I like the country, etc.

* Business approval to work in thailand given by my company to me

* Business registration with my home state in the US

* Two client contracts with names redacted

* 6 month bank statements showing over 500k baht

* Screenshots of website, youtube channel, and FB business page

* Brief explanation of my business (I am a marketing consultant)

I used a pdf merging site to combine all the docs for the respective questions.

My best recommendation is to use canva for the raw pdfs as it allows you to create a multiple page pdf by default so you can skip some of the more tedious merging.

If you have any questions, let me know

‼️TRIPLE CHECK YOUR ANSWERS AND DO NOT USE AUTOFILL FOR ANYTHING ON THE APP‼️

I even had a friend proofread my basic info like passport and DOB to be ultra sure

Good luck everyone!

Applying from Australia online. I got a request for more information. " Show employment contract". I actually own the business and am working remote. I submitted my portfolio ( just a bio of what I do), but they are still asking for more information.

Any ideas what they want?

Just applied for my DTV visa at a Thai embassy (walk-in) as a business owner with a few LLCs in the U.S. They accepted the documents I provided and will be picking it up 5 days from now.

UPDATE: Apprently, I’m “supposed” to provide details otherwise I’m just flexing LOL

I went to a Thai embassy that offers walk-in or advanced appointment so I know precisely when and what time to pick up my passport.

I have a business and to increase my chances, I printed a lot of documents which was about 70 pages.

Me and my boyfriend got our DTV in Hanoi! 🎉🎉

Submitted on morning of 21 Oct 2024.

Got the email on 25 Oct 2024, around 3pm BKK time.

A fast process given that on Tuesday (22 Oct) it was a Thai public holiday.

I applied using my own business, and my partner with a remote employment contract from a company outside Thailand.

Already on our way to the airport to fly back to our new home, Thailand 😻😻😻

This FB group gave us confidence that we would be approved, through the experience of others! Feel free to ask questions, its great to have a community 👍🏻

Approved in 3 days by the Los Angeles Embassy! 🎉

I applied online for the workcation visa and I'm shocked it was approved so quickly! I'm a business owner/remote worker so here's what I provided in case anyone needs guidance:

* Personal bank account balance summary (stamped at a local branch): I did not need to submit a 3 or 6 month statement, the summary only had one page of my most recent transactions totaling over 500,000 THB

* Additional personal bank account balance summary (just to prove I had additional funds just in case)

* Employment contract: as I own my own business, I made a letter stating I am the full owner, have no employees or business operations physically present in Thailand, and additional information about the formation of my business

* EIN Letter: official documentation showing the registration of my business in the United States

* Evidence of current location: 2 electric/gas utility bills from my home

* Portfolio: 3 most recent income invoices and screenshots of my business's social media pages

* Passport scan and current photo

Because I've seen a hundred people experience this, if you update your passport scan after filling in the form fields, make sure your passport information is correct unless you want to lose another $400

So relieved and thrilled to be returning to my favorite place in the world! Good luck to everyone ❤️

Finger crossed 🤞
