Hello

Im in Thailand at the moment and was thinking of going to Cambodia to and applying for the DTV while I'm there.

Has anyone here applied in Cambodia recently and can share their experience?

And was also wondering about agencies who charge a fair fee as it seems rejections have been going up and it may be better then doing it myself????

1. I‘m planning to apply for a visa in Hanoi. For the question, “Is your permanent address the same as your current address?”, should I check “Yes” and write my address in Korea, or should I check “No”?

2. For the question, “Have you ever applied for a Thai visa?”, my DTV visa was rejected twice. Should I check “Yes” for this question?

3. How many months’ hotel reservation should I provide at minimum for my stay in Thailand?

Hi, everyone.

Has anyone applied to the Ho Chi Minh Embassy on Monday, September 29th, and received approval?

My status changed to Pending Approval on Tuesday (September 30th) without any request, but it has remained that way until today.

If anyone applied and was approved on September 29th, please share your story. Thank you in advance.

Hello, we are a family of 4 preparing to apply for a workation DTV through the Los Angeles consulate.

My husband and I jointly own our companies together as 50/50 partners. We are both employees of the companies. It seems like when submitting the application, it needs to be from one applicant and couples are not applying jointly together.

I'm wondering how to navigate this application process.

1. I could apply first, then the rest of the family can apply and I'll sponsor them.

2. My husband and I could both send in our applications at a similar time.

What would be the pros and cons to each?

Los Angeles consulate seems to have a high rate of rejections, which is why I thought perhaps we could send in 1 application first, then the rest of the family can become dependents.

Another question is: How should we navigate the fact that the business and all of our accounts have both our names listed on them, as opposed to just my own? Will he need to write a letter or something? What should that letter say?

Thank you so much for your insight!

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to share my experience. After two rejections, the first one in The Netherlands, the second one in Vietnam, I've finally been approved for the DTV Workation Visa.

I went to Laos, and in comparison to the two previous applications, I would strongly recommend anyone being in doubt to do the same. In Laos is the 'in-person' interview, which gives you the opportunity to explain your situation and show your finances.

For me personally, I believe the reason my first two applications were rejected, is because of a more complex company owning structure, which they don't seem to understand in Thailand, but which is common in The Netherlands. The in-person interview gives you the possibility to explain everything properly in person, with showing additional proof of income through your bank app.

Laos/Vientiane is not the most entertaining city in the world, but the total process in Laos cost me 10 days.

Will DTV be rejected if I’ve been rejected from Thailand as a tourist before and stayed in a holding cell etc.
