Hanoi - Workcation DTV approved!

23/02 Documents check

24/02 Pending Approval

25/02 Approved

I am a Myanmar citizen. I just did my homework from this group. No agents, no interview, no additional document asked.

I really appreciate all the useful tips I got from this group. Thank you all very much!

Documents submitted

- 3 months bank statement with no less than 500k THB continuously (Didn’t need to cover 3 calendar months. Mine from 11 Nov to 11 Feb. Before 11 Nov, slightly less than 500k. I submitted a cover letter explaining that I had savings in Wise and transaction record from Wise into my bank on Nov 11)

- A monthly invoice of mine to the employer and corresponding transaction record into my account

(I am on a consultancy contract but paid monthly)

- Employer letter explaining that my work is 100% remote and my payment agreement

- Employment contract

- Registration document of the employer organization

- All pages of my passport with stamps

- My passport biopage + hotel room key in Hanoi + Boarding Pass captured in one photo

I combined

(1) bank statements + invoice + transaction record into one pdf as financial evidence

(2) Employer letter + contact + registration document into one as proof of employment

(3) Passport pages + the photo of three things I mentioned into one as proof of current location.

‼️‼️Some important things to note

First is to write your whole name in one slot or let the website scan your passport biopage if you don’t have a family name, like me!

In my case, I just let the scan do the work.

Second is to check the public holidays of the country where you will apply from. I checked the Thai public holidays but forgot to check that for Vietnam. I got here since last week and stuck, as the Embassy closed for the whole week. They started processing on Feb 23 and approved today.

I was previously on the ED-plus visa. I canceled the ED- plus, travelled to Vietnam, and applied for DTV. So, there’s no problem changing directly from ED-plus to DTV.

I’m sharing my experience just like others did before which really helped me. I hope mine does too!

I was just approved for workcation DTV in Athens Greece in about 24 hours. Applied 3 sept approved 4 sept. USA passport. For the 500k, I moved the money into my checking account a few days before my aug statement generated. I did provide 2 more prior months but it was a brokerage account and business account. I don’t know if it was necessary. I also made a pdf of examples of my work and business registration documents and a cover letter. I was surprised how easy and fast it was.

I am a Singaporean that work remotely for a company in Europe. Can i apply for Workcation DTV visa ? As i see there is ACRA company doc requirements but since my company is not Singapore based , there is no ACRA docs. I meet the other requirements already. Any advice ?

People who have gotten the WorkCation DTV when you submit all your paperwork was there ever an issue of you working previously while in the country? I'm assuming everyone who is applying for the DTV has stayed in Thailand at least a little and if you are applying for this DTV you would have been working while on some other Visa that you 'technically' shouldn't have been working on. Has anyone had an issue with this?
