Has anyone done the DTV visa from Belgium as a freelancer? What additional documents could they ask for. I have gotten all the basic ones required. I have over 500,000 THB but some of it was in stocks so I’ve put them on my savings now. Should that make a problem with the 3 months thing? Also I’m a recent freelancer so don’t have any tax proof yet.
I just received a visa rejection email from the Thai Embassy in Dhaka. I applied under the Workcation Visa category on June 22, and today, instead of moving forward from “Pending Document Check,” it went straight to Visa Rejected.
Not sure what I might have missed! But I can ensure you that all documents and the input on e visa portarl was correct and legit.
Here’s what I submitted:
✅ Bank statements and solvency certificate (with more than the required amount, over 6 months) with regular tranjactions.
✅ Employment confirmation letter and an LLC company report from my employer (I work with them via Upwork). Been working for that company for the last 3 years.
✅ Upwork income certificate for the last 12 months
✅ Freelancer ID issued by the Bangladesh government
✅ All other regular documents (residency proof, air ticket, hotel booking, etc.)
Do you think I should apply again? If yes, when would be the right time?
Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Applied for DTV (Remote Worker) through the Thai Embassy in Singapore in early July.
Day 1 - Submitted application
Day 3 - Embassy asked for more documents including:
- Employer's updated ACRA within the last 3 months (previous version was an old ACRA document)
- Employer's letter to be addressed to Thai Embassy, Singapore specifically stating that I was allowed to work in Thailand. (previous letter submitted was addressed to "to whom it may concern", and "allowed to work anywhere in the world"
- Detailed bank statements (previously I submitted only the first page)
- Screenshot of my latest bank balance AFTER the 3 months of bank statements
- Proof of accomodation (they mentioned specifically AirBnB not allowed)
Day 6 - I only noticed the request on Day 5 and submitted everything they requested for on Day 6
Day 14 - Approved
Data Points:
- I had between SGD20k to SGD30k in the bank for the entire period of 3 months
- I still kept the minimum balance in there after submiting documents, hence my screenshot satisfied that additional criteria
- My salary is about SGD10,000, and I have been with the company for 3 years
Some thoughts: SG Thai Embassy is definitely pretty strict. I feel like they are trying to poke and find holes in what I thought was an honest and straightforward application. But otherwise, happy to have this approved.
Hi have just booked my flight to Thailand arriving 19th October, when would be best time for me to apply for non o visa from London, have most paperwork ready thanks
Im posting as anonymous cause i tried to apply to the DTV with an agent and they were a disaster (compass) they ghosted me asked me the same docs over and over again, their app didnt work and made me waste a lot of time and somehow ended more stressed about it. I did it my own as took me literally 5 mins is pretty easy as long as you have compiled the docs in low resolution to be uploaded. My visa was approved and will be back in Thailand tomorrow :) thanks everyone for the tips
Hi, has anyone had experience applying as dependant of dtv visa holder in Laos, Vientiane? How long is the waiting time? And does the dependant have to come for the interview or will the dependant just recieve the email with approved visa? Thank you in advance 🙂
