Yesterday I went to Bangkok Bank Jomtien branch in Pattaya to get my annual letter confirming monthly transfers of 65,000 bahts which in the past Immigration has required. The bank officer told me that they no longer provide such letters as in the past, and that I had to take my bank books for the past 12 months + photocopies of the relevant pages showing the monthly transfers, and that Immigration will accept this as proof. The bank does still issue a letter confirming that I am an account holder that will state the balance on hand on the day of renewal application., but that's all. Has anyone else had this experience?

I am applying for the workcation DTV.

I have my own business and proof of business registration in the UK.

Can someone tell me exactly what other documents I need to include please.

I want to make sure I do not miss a single thing.

Thanks in advance

Just got my DTV Workcation application approved!! 😆

(UK citizen - Jakarta Embassy)

Approved in 5 days

Here is a full detailed breakdown of my application.

I may have gone a little overboard but I didn't want to take any chances so you may not need to upload to this extent but I wanted to have every base covered

Documents Uploaded

Current Location PDF

* Cover page - explaining what is in this PDF broken into sections 1 and 2

* Section 1 - Cover letter. Explaining why I want to come to Thailand and agreeing to stay compliant with all of the visa rules

* Section 2 - Proof of current location. On seperate pages; my passport biodata page, picture of me on white background (took on phone and used canva to resize to a passport photo size), evidence of entry (I went through the e-Gates and didnt get a stamp so i gave picture of boarding pass, e-Visa, short stay permit), selfie of me standing outside my apartment building holding my passport next to a sign with the building name and finally an Airbnb booking confimtion

Then the next document was my Financials PDF

* Cover page - explaining the 2 sections of this PDF again with short bullet points of what's inside each section

* Section 1 - Proof of 500,000THB. For this, I showed bank statements going back to April. With Starling bank I used a date range rather than giving 4 individual monthly statements it was just one long one with an ending balance over the amount needed

* Section 2 - Proof of income. My wages are paid into a different bank account so i sent 4 months of individual Barclays statements highlighting (using chrome when you open PDF) all of the deposits from my employer in UK

The final document was my employment PDF,

* Cover page of what is in the PDF split into 2 sections

* Section 1 - Proof of employment. On separate pages I had; a signed letter from my employer on company letterhead stating I could work remotely (used ChatGPT to write it), a company registration certificate from Companies House gov website, my signed employee contract, 4 months' worth of payslips downloaded and merged together

* Section 2 - Portfolio of Work. I just made a simple document showing my workflow of what I usually do on a normal day step by step so they could see the process and I supplied screenshots for each step so it was super clear

I applied Wed 20th Aug and I received my approval email Mon 25th Aug.

Notes/Tips:

1. I only transferred the 500,000THB in GBP on 07/08/25, and it had been sitting there for 13 days

2. I only work 1 day a week remotely, so my income is very minimal

3. I read through all of the posts in this group and saw what most people was getting rejected for/requesting more docs for in Jakarta and made a list to make sure I included everything.

Everyone's posts in this group chat really helped me when I was applying so I hope this can help someone else too!

Questions for next steps

* Do I need to do anything else before I arrive other than print my visa in A5?

* How do I know which office to report to every 90 days? Do I get to choose what city it is in or is it selected for me?

* Is there any further documents i need to supply besides my visa & passport when i arrive in Thailand?

Now get me back to the land of smiles 🥳🥳🥳

Did apply for the DTVisa Thai Soft Power, Jakarta (IND).

Is it possible to submit additional documents later if one does recognize that you forgot to add something alleged relevant after the initial Visa application submission? Is reaching out to the local embassy by eMail welcomed?

I couldn't spot any option for that on the official eVisa website.

Thank you for your attention 🙏

I did some research to figure out what paperwork I need to submit in my case. If anyone applied on the same grounds,

could you let me know if this is the right paperwork..?

I have an LLP registered in the UK, I'm the only "person with significant control", working remotely for another EU based company. Came up with this list of documents that I'd have to submit;

Core Visa Items

* Passport bio page (valid ≥ 6 months).

* Recent passport photo.

* Proof of current location in the country of application (entry stamp, visa, hotel/lease, etc.).

* Visa fee payment receipt/confirmation.

Employment Proof (foreign employer)

* Employment Contract (with remote-work clause, signed by Designated Member(me) + Employee(me)).

* Employment Certificate (one-page HR-style letter on LLP letterhead, confirming role, start date, salary, remote work incl. Thailand, and no Thai employment).

* Letter of Intent (personal statement to embassy: purpose of stay, funds, compliance).

Financial Proof

* Personal bank statements (≥ 3 months) showing ending balance ≥ 500,000 THB.

* Bank statements showing transfers from LLP account to personal account (salary trail, ideally 3 months).

Optional

* Companies House Certificate of Incorporation + Current Appointments Report (tying your name to the LLP).

* Client contract or invoices proving LLP’s business activity

So when applying as a business owner, is that pretty much the whole documentation you need to submit? Am I missing anything?

About cover letter : several applicants mention submitting a cover letter. For soft power, where exactly can we upload the cover letter? In the 'Supporting documents' page you can upload only evidence for 3.current location, 4 financial evidence and 5.proof of confirmation to attend the activity; there is no field where you can add a cover letter.

Just got my approval in Hanoi (Singaporean passport).

Took 5 working days. Submitted on 13 Aug, approved on 20 Aug.

Here’s the list:

-Passport bio page

-Passport photo

Proof of Location:

-Flight booking

-Image of arrival stamp

-Boarding pass

- Accommodation booking (1 week)

Proof of Employment:

-My own cover letter (stating I work remotely, won’t do any business in Thailand, and will adhere to all the Thai rules and laws.

*This part is VERY important to emphasise.

-Company cover letter (same points as above and signed by my HR on the company letterhead)

-Employment contract

-Company Business Registration (ACRA)

Proof of Finance:

-3 months’ bank statements (highlighted my name, account number, month of statement, and final balance with the exchange rate from SGD to THB to make it easier for them to check.)

-1-year lease in Thailand (I added here since other files in the other sections were getting pass the 3MB)

In my cover letter, I had a list of all the documents I was going to include to make things clearer. And added short explanations in each PDF to highlight details and make it easy for the officers to understand.

Assume they’ve never seen your country’s documents before so having helpful information to guide them through what everything is will make it easier for them to find what they're looking for.

Also...

When filling in “departure date” from the country you’re applying in, I put about a week later, this might speed things up since they see that you're leaving by this date.

And you don’t actually need to buy the ticket out.

I entered Hanoi on a one-way ticket, no problem at Hanoi airport. Once approved, I bought a ticket out the very next day.

Hope this helps.

Good luck to everyone applying.

Any questions, drop them below.

Paris - France

Wanted to hear about recent experiences applying in France in the past few months. How long did it take? Did they ask for further documentation?

Thanks a lot! Merci! 🙏🏼

Hello

Unfortunately my application has been rejected in Hanoi

DTV Soft power thai cooking 6month course with House of Taste Bangkok

French passport

Applied 13/08

Pending approval 14/08

Rejected 20/08

No other documents requested simply rejected.

Provided :

4month current account bank statement with more than 500k baht and saving account with more than 4 millions baht

Proof of location in Hanoi (booking, stamp, google maps shot, payment receipt)

School document (DBD, Proof of payment, class example and stuff)

Since they don't provide any explanation on why they reject your application I wonder what's my next best move.

Either I try to apply from HCMC/Jarkata embassy or I maybe change course to Muay Thai, go with an agent ?

Our LTR visa application recently got rejected after almost 5 weeks despite full qualification and submission of all relevant documents.

There was no explanation given.

We've written emails to BOI but haven't heard back. Has anyone else been through this process and if so, can you suggest a way out? We seem to be at a dead-end.
