In reality does it actually matter under what category you apply? Workation or Soft Power? The actual visa is exactly the same.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently in Vietnam preparing a file for a DTV (Workation) visa application.

I currently have :

* Bank statements from my European bank showing over 500,000 THB over the past 3 months.

* Screenshots of my crypto wallet with over 3 million THB.

* A portfolio showing my income (exclusively from crypto), including an Excel sheet detailing the revenue and supporting screenshots.

* A screenshot of my Booking.com reservation in Vietnam.

* A "motivation letter" explaining why I want to go to Thailand and roughly how I'm financially independent thanks to crypto.

* A passport photo.

I plan to go in person to the Thai embassy in Hanoi to apply for the visa.

Do I need any additional documents? Is there a form I need to fill out? If so, where can I download and print it?

Do you think my application might be rejected because all my income comes from crypto?

Thanks in advance! 😊

Hello,

I applied for the DTV (worcation - freelancer) in Phnom Penh on June 22 and it was approved today. No additional documents asked. Thank you everyone for all the information I found here! It was a great help. If anyone has any questions don't hesitate to ask...

Hi everyone! I’m on the DTV visa (Workation category) and have a couple of quick questions about the new Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC):

1. For “Country/Territory of Residence”, should I select Thailand if I rent an apartment here and live in Thailand full-time (no residence anywhere else)? Or should I still put my passport country?

2. For “Purpose of Travel”, is it best to select “Holiday”, since we don’t have a Thai work permit? Or is there a better option for DTV visa holders?

Have any of you entered Thailand after the TDAC was implemented while holding a DTV visa, and what did you do? If you have something else to recommend, please do let me know. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Yes, I made a mistake. No excuses, since I should have read the group posts more carefully.

I submitted a workation application in Hanoi earlier today but now, reading the group, I realised that as "Document indicating current location" I submitted only my hotel reservation document, but not the page of my passport with entry stamp and flight to Hanoi. Did someone receive a request for these additional documents? or is it going to be straight rejection? 🥲

I read for about half hour, but can't find this question.

Thank you.

1st update: indeed like most people told me, I got asked to send the photo of my passport plus another document on the day after I applied and now it’s in “pending approval” since a few days.

2nd update: approved!

Hey, i am from Germany, what is currently the best and fastest way to apply for DTV ?

Thank you

Hey folks, for the workation DTV option, has anyone used funds in a Thai bank before? I currently have the required 500k in a Thai bank, but I couldn't find any information if that's allowed or not

Without any reason

Hi everyone! 🥰🥰 I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. I was denied entry to Thailand two weeks ago due to concerns about long-term stays.

However, I’ve just had my DTV visa (workation–freelancer) approved here in Korea. I’m planning to re-enter Thailand next week.

Given the previous denial, is there still a chance I might face issues at the border, even with the DTV visa? Thanks so much in advance! 🙏🏾

DTV visa - workation, approved in Taipei!

Sharing my experience as this group has been super useful!

I'm Spanish, applied for DTV workation in Taipei on the 30th April with:

- employment contract

- past 6 months salary

- bank statement showing 500k

- passport copy and ID picture

- Airbnb in Taipei

4hours later I've submitted the application I got a request to provide:

- certificate of arrival in Taipei from national agency

- company registration certificate (company is from Europe)

So the following day, I went to the national agency in person, got the certificate of arrival within 30mins, paid €3 then submitted it with company certificate online.

24hours later I've received a request for interview mid-May, so 15days later that my application.

I've emailed Taipei agency asking for another date (sooner) and after few days of waiting ... they've agreed to interview me on the 9th May. (You can't call them online email)

I've showed up at the Taipei Thai embassy with all the documents printed (same as those submitted online - printing is mandatory), waited for 45minutes, then got interviewed for 10minutes about the business of my employer (SaaS) and my role.

2hours later I've received the approval via email.

Lesson learned: do not book your return flight too soon (like I did) as it's now common to request for interviews in Taipei (4 other people were interviewing that day before me for DTV).

➡️Total days from online application to approval: 10 days

Hope my experience will be useful to some of you!
