DTV approved in Taipei. Submitted on 26 Sep. Approved on 30 Sep, so 3 working days. No interview. They asked for supplementary docs on 29 Sep which were,

1. Please provide records of salary and transfer to your bank account (within 3 months) (must match)

2.Please upload your company's registration certificate.

I think I might have omitted a month of statement when I first submitted. The company I work for is a small one.

Wish you all the best everyone. Glad to help if needed. 🙏🏾🙂

I am currently applying for a DTV visa in Taiwan. However, my application was cancelled for the following reason:

"Your visa application has been cancelled. Wrong Personal Info: Country/Territory of Passport / TD does not match with passport."

I suspect this is because I entered “Consulate-General of Japan in Detroit” as the place of issue. My passport is Japanese, but it was issued in Detroit. I believe this might have caused the error. I am thinking of reapplying, but do you think it would be approved if I set the place of issue to “Japan” instead? Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

Applying as a long term resident of Taiwan. The visa office sent me to the National Immigration Agency for proof of current location.

For the proof of 500k in assets, the instructions say 3 months of bank statements, but my bank's statements are generated only on a certain day of the month. Do I just have to wait or can I paste together a web printout of my recent transactions (showing that I transferred 500k THB into by account)? Instead of showing both deposits and expenditures/withdrawals, can I just show deposits since this is more private?

Also I've seen a few people say Taiwan requires 6 months of bank statements, even though the application says 3 months.

Hey all thanks in advance for advice. This is a very nerve-racking week and need any final insights.

I had my EDU visa cancelled for June 15th and the same day I plan to fly to Taiwan or Philippines.

My plan is to apply for Workation DTV visa.

I have been teaching online for 6 years now but will get my father’s (same last name) 6 months bank statements which show a couple million baht + a sponsor letter + a signed photocopy of his passport.

I will make a professional portfolio as a freelancer and bank statements + income proof for the last 6 months.

Of course there a few other required documents like copies of my own passport etc which I’ll get

But basically is there any extra advice or suggestions on Taiwan vs Philippines?

Also e-visa vs walk-in?

I will also dress quite well and look professional.

Any more advice will be much appreciated!

This is quite stressful.

Thanks all!

Some says Taiwan is easy, got it in a day or two. Some says the opposite. Does it make a difference between soft power and workation? Feels like the latter is easier, which is the one I'm going for.

Any thoughts ? Wishing you all success in this 🙌🏿

To apply in Taiwan, do you need original contract or copy is good enough? Thanks!

Any reminders for application in Taipei is very much appreciated! Wish you all got it! :)

Where has people gotten their DTVs in neighboring countires?

How was the experience?

Thank you so much!

Other request documents:

1.Please upload the contract with your company

2.Please upload proof of income (proof of company transfer to bank account more than 3month ago

I am a USA Citizen residing in Taiwan.

I applied online in Taiwan.

I work through my own LLC.

I gave them upon my original application:

A. a letter showing I work through my own LLC

B. my primary customer who wrote a letter confirming this along with the years of working together

C. the certificate of organization of my more than 10-year-old biz

D. my EIN

E. proof of my annual report filings for a decade

F. 4 months of my biz bank account getting payments

What in the world are they asking for?

It looks like a contract from my LLC to myself?

My LLC bank account sending money to my personal bank account?

I have no idea what else to submit...

Any advice is appreciated.

Applied at Taipei online.

Not sure how to get the certificate of entry and exit date from Taiwan National Immigration Agency?

Also for proof of income…I don’t have any proof. I played online poker before, and I had bought a little bit of crypto years ago, should I just take a picture of my crypto wallet and write a description of why I have the money? I wrote “retired 40-60k” for my occupation and income. The amount I have in my wallet is several multiple of that so it makes sense?

Hi guys, random but how old do the bank statements have to be relative to your date of application? Are 2-week old bank statements okay? I'm planning to apply in Taipei by the way. Thanks!!
