Hello 😊

I've got a question about the wording for the DTV Visa.

My company says "Workation" instead of remote work. So they will write "we will allow workation in Thailand" on my additional contract.

Does anybody know, if there will be a problem, if the company allows me workation, instead of remote?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I am thinking about applying for a DTV (workation) in Taipei.

I transferred 500,000 THB to my bank account on August 21 and would like to apply around October 21.

I know that it is recommended to keep the funds for at least 3 months, but my tourist visa is about to expire.

Has anyone had experience in Taipei applying with the money kept for only 1–2 months, and was it accepted?

If i where to go the workation route.

What papers are exactly needed?

Applying in Oslo.

- 500k in account

- Employment contract.

- Portfolio or is resume fine?

- Paper from company that i will work remote in thailand and not with any thai customers?

The work am doing is provision based salary.

And i just started 01.08.2025.

Will this be a problem if i can prove other source of income like pension?

Pension is about 70000 bath pr month.

I will write a cover letter explaining my work, and my pension.

Is there anything else i need to think about?

Hi all. I am planning on applying for the DTV from Laos for workation purposes. I am director/shareholder for a long established UK limited company. I am trying to work out from the embassys website what i need to get the uk office to send over for me for this visa. Has anyone in a similar situation applied? Could you confirm what you needed to provide them in that circumstance?

like, they ask for it to be stamped with a company seal which most uk companies dont even use, for testimonial from customers confirming my work there etc etc (which seems unneccesary as I am not a freelancer)

Any advice appreciated. :) thanks

DTV approved.

Workation + Sponsor letter.

7 days start to end.

Taipei was great but you should have all your documentation and perfect digital/paper trail from invoices and receipts with names and a trail into your bank account.

Entered Suvarnabhumi woth printed e-visa and zero issues or questions.

Hello,

I’m currently based in Hanoi and I’m planning to apply for the Remote Worker Visa myself. However, I’ve heard of many cases where applications for this visa have been rejected, which makes me a bit hesitant. I’ve been in Hanoi for one year and I want to leave soon.

Would you recommend working with an agent to handle the process? Or would it be better to try and find a Thai gym to sponsor me instead? Is my one year status could affect my application? Anyone with the same experience

I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations you might have. I’m eager to move forward soon, but I find the official website a bit confusing.

Thank you in advance!

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 🙌🏿

Hey everyone!

I’m trying to decide where to apply for my DTV visa as a remote worker/workation spot. I’ve narrowed it down to Cambodia 🇰🇭 or Vietnam 🇻🇳, but I’m unsure which is the better option.

What are the pros and cons of applying in either country? Would love to hear your experiences.
