I just wanted to share my experience with the Taipei office for a DTV visa for the workcation path. I own my own business in the US and do have a contract with a customer and 6 months of payment history into my bank account. I got there at 9am and was done by 10:15am. Came back at 3pm to pay for the visa or provide more documentation. They just asked me for the money! So approved and pick it up tomorrow at 4.
I will say that the #1 thing they care about is proof of payments or proof of income from your business. So make sure you have proof of income or you will have a hard time getting approved. Like the person in the next booth. I had to remind them to verify my 500,000k account lol.
And a big FYI. Only give them what they ask for. I forgot to pull some documents I had printed out in case they asked for them and this confused them allot. I told them I did not intend to give the documents to them but they would not return them, so a long explanation was needed. Also if you are from the US you need to explain to them the date format in USA is (mm/dd/yyyy).
From what I saw while I was there from other people applying while I was there (5 or 6). The soft power applicants seemed to get processed with less questions than remote workers. They ask allot questions to remote workers/freelancers so be advised.
There is no notification of them changing to E-Visa system any time soon. Also it is cold and cloudy here now so be prepared 11-16c. Thanks to the group for another successful application!
Documents requested (in order of importance)
Business tax id, business registration (with your name on it somewhere100% needed)
6 mo Bank statements with payments from customers in your business account
Contract with a customer
Employer letter
6 mo 500,000 baht account. And they will ask you to show them in the office on your bank app that you still have the money.
