Question:

"How long does it generally take to get a work visa for Germany? My wife applied on February 19th. What is our estimate for how long the process will take to get the visa?"

To give some context, I work remotely for a company and I've applied for the DTV visa online. I received an email for additional documents which just made things confusing for me. They are asking me for the following (this is a literal copy and paste):

* 1.Please provide your resume and how to work remotely (signature and seal of the person in charge)

* 2.Please upload the proof of salary paid to you by the company and transferred to the bank and bank statement (need have holder name)

I'm not sure what is "how to work remotely". I provided my contract, employee certificate which is signed and company registration certificate.

I also provided a bank statement and statements from the company I work for the transfer they did to my bank account.

This is getting kinda frustrating and it looks scammy because of their bad English. There is also no way for me to contact them and reach out for more info. Anyone had a similar experience?

Thanks!

I need some advice on what to look out for when getting a job offer while holding tourist visa.

1. Does converting tourist visa to work visa require us to leave the country?

2. Is it possible to begin work while waiting for the visa to progress? (I believed it’s illegal to do so, but any advices are appreciated) Thank you.

I have a question regarding work visas for Thailand please.

My husband and I are hoping to come and stay in Chiang mail for 6 months and we can both work online.

Just wondering which visa would be best for this situation and length of time. If he likes it there we may want to extend our time.

Thank you for any info

Hello people,

I’m 30 years old, I’ve worked in sales and then u switched my career of freelance in cybersecurity for different companies last 6 years. Since it’s 24*7 job I’ve lost control over my health. I’m trying to learn the sector of real estate. I don’t know what is the way and what exactly is the structure to go step wise. I apologise to write in This group because there many experts and experience people here.

Any response would be appreciated I’ve been coming to Thailand from past 7years . So I’ll be in April can work to learn ! No money need just experience of how the core of business work !!

Hi everyone! I need advice can someone help me answer this please. If I’m planning to move to Thailand in June with my 2 small children should I obtain a visa now or once I arrive? And what visa do my kids need?

I would like to teach English but I don’t have a bachelor degree only a TEFL Certificate. I’m not sure if I should go for a work visa or Educational visa. 🤷🏽‍♀️

And lastly, should I book a one way ticket if I plan to stay long term.✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Thanks in advance!!!

Guys, I’m over the moon right now! 😭🎉 I finally got my visa today 4.40pm, January 17th! I started my application on Sunday, the 12th, in HMC, and after just one week, the long-awaited email arrived at 4:40 PM today! On Tuesday, they requested some additional details about my company (Workation with my own business), and that was it.

Thank you all so much for your help and support along the way! 🙏

Just reading on some different embassy sites about documents and i quote from Vientiane embassy" Copies of agency/school/institution/company documents must be signed by an authorized person and stamped with the agency/school/institution/company seal.

Does this mean any business number registration or letter head needs to be notarized by an embassy in home country or just have the letterhead stating its origin EG company letterhead

I got non b visa from Malaysia, entered thailand with 90 days. After so many lies i decided to leave and look for another job. Can my employer cancel my visa or can I use it until the end?

Denied in Taipei🥲

Type: remote worker (for 1 company, not freelance)

Situation: coming from non B visa

Heartbroken to say that I was denied in Taipei. It is a specific situation, as I have worked in Thailand, legally for 3 years. I accepted a remote job and came to Taipei to switch my visa type to DTV.

Even with a current contract and first payment made by current company (+600,000 tbh banked and consistent income for past 6 months from past job), they denied because they wanted me to have 6 months of income *from my current contract.*

Note: I also had everything else in order, including the employment letter (stating remote position), company registration documents etc.

The issue they had, specifically, was was that I hadn’t been in my current role for 6 months. Pretty much they told me to leave and try again in 6 months time when I am established at my new job. There was no remedying it with them.

— and genuinely this was so shocking because I’d never heard of this being the case for anyone else before. Am I wrong on this?

So, if you are coming from a non B and are switching to remote work, please be aware that this is the way Taipei approaches this scenario.

If you have a similar work history but successfully gotten a DTV visa, can you please comment? I’d really like to understand what else I can do and how I can better plan my application in the future.
