Anyone applied for DTV visa from Cambodia? Not sure if I need to be in my Native Country to apply, or if I can apply from any embassy? I am resident in Cambodia.

So, I read that it does matter which embassy you submit your DTV visa application to in terms of time and other factors.

But if you apply online, you have no business dealing with any embassy, right?

This is what I mean online: [members only]/

Sorry, I want to remain anonymous. I don't want my Facebook connections to know that I'm planning to escape from home. :D

Successful DTV application from HCMC! Completed in just 9 days despite multiple requests for more documents.

Applied Feb 24th:

* Workation: Submitted my contract with a client showing how much I make, also included my CV

* Financial Evidence: Included balance letter, screenshot- did not include 6 months of statements, which I got asked for later.

* Proof of bering in Vietnam: Passport stamp photo (I got asked for more info later)

Feb 27th - Request for Further document:

* Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter : A deposit account shows the transactions last 6 months and the account balance or a combination of a deposit/saving account totaling not less than 500,000baht. Stock/Crypto/Bitcoin/Investment/Business/PayPal account and sponsor are not accepted.

* Other request documents: Provide details about your current role, including your CV/portfolio, the work examples and supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications.

I went ahead and submitted six months worth of bank statements despite the fact that none of them showed a balance of 500K baht (I had liquidated some stock to make that much liquid funds, but it hadn't been reflected on a monthly statement yet- luckily that turned out to be a problem.

I also provided a lot more information about the work stuff:

* Got a letter of recommendation written for me, which reference my great work, and also clearly specified my "remote" role

* My work is for an internal tool for a client so I couldn't show them directly, however, I showed them a powerpoint sales presentation we made about it, which also had my name / picture in it

* Showed evidence of being paid: I downloaded my "list of transactions" from Deel, and also showed a bank statement from my other bank (not the one that has 500K) that shows payment from the same name of the corporation that I showed them the contract with.

(Didn't submit again until Saturday March 1 because I was waiting on the recommendation letter)

March 3 - Request for Further document:

* Other request documents: Provide company registration.

* Document indicating current location: Provide proof of your current residency in Vietnam by submitting a selfie that shows the time and day in the travel destination, a purchase receipt bearing your name and the date of purchase,..

For company registration I was a bit worried, because the company I contract with is HQ'd outside the US, but they pay me through a US LLC with a different name- I was able to get company registration doc for the main (non-US) company but getting the US LLC doc would have taken a lot longer. So I just submitted the company registration for the main (non-US), and explained how that company's name was on the main letterhead, and the CEO's name is in the registration document etc, and that turned out to be fine.

For "Document indicating current location" I bought a coffee at a Phuc Long and took a selfie with the coffee and receipt, and then because they asked for a receipt "bearing my name" I also submitted the Airbnb receipt.

March 5 - DTV approved!

thanks everyone for all the great comments.I was approved today !!! this is my application story, if it helps anyone.

1) applied monday 24th february digital nomad / remote worker

2) provided resent photo ( from my iPhone white back ground, certificate of employment signed by my manager ( that my company employs). i just got one of these certificates of the web and changed it to suit my needs. i also mentioned that my company does not have any business related activities in thailand and i stated i was aware that i am not permitted to do business with Thai nationals. i provided a link to my website too

3) bank statement from my business account for 6 months showing over the required amount ( this was not in my person name)

4) photo of inside passport

5) a resent master card statement showing my current address and resent transaction ( proof of being in Australia)

6) i stated i was travelling to thailand in march and gave a flight number ( no proof sent)

i applied to Sydney embassy and was approved today - no request for further information

my status changed to ‘pending approval ‘ 3 days ago ( i wasn’t advised but checked each day). i received approval today via email with a pdf ( yep don’t worry i know i need to print it)

so around 9 days .. very easy

So I just logged into the dashboard, and it now says "Pending Approval" 🥳

It said "Pending Document Check" previously, so this is a new update!

This is via the Los Angeles consulate. Any idea how long it will take until it is actually approved with DTV pdf in hand?

Update: Approved today! Took 34 days total.

Application dependent kid (18 months old) Jakarta

On the second page they ask for occupation. Do I just enter the same info like I did for my appliu(main DTV holder)?

I’m a bit confused 🙃

Thank you so much for your support 🙏

I applied thai E-VISA with a one way ticket and the return from another country is this ok??12 days still processing!

I’ve lived in Thailand for 6 months on an Edvisa. I have 6 months left but the goal is secure a DTV. I am in the process of opening my own business in the US and I’m wondering what information is required? By the time I apply for the DTV my business will only be 6 months old. Is tax information required? Anyone apply within the first year of business? Any info. Would help. Thank you 😊

Apply as business owner

Does the FINANCIAL EVIDENCE has to be from mu privat account? Or can I send financial evidence from my business account which indicates my business name which is NOT my personal name (BUT sending all the papers where you can see my personal name as the owner of this business).

ANY EXPERIENCES? 🙏🙏
