Hello, thanks for having me in the group.

Questions:

Can I apply as a freelancer being a crypto trader if I form my own company at home and using the contract from my various exchanges I trade from and evidence of trades?

Thanks for your answers in advance.

I am always been asked where is the best to apply for the DTV, so I did a blog.

Hi everyone!

I'm a musician and I would like to apply for DTV visa, is it possible?

Thanks for your help 🙏🏻

Question about e-visas (DTV if it matters).

Suppose I fly to HCMC and apply for DTV using the HCMC embassy. I submit documentation that I'm in HCMC, such as hotel bookings.

While waiting for the application to be approved, I fly to Hanoi, which is under the jurisdiction of a different embassy, but still within the country of Vietnam.

Is that allowed?

Hi everyone I’m new to the group . I had two questions . Firstly I’m from USA living in Mexico currently ….how does that work in regards to the location and getting the dtv visa when it says current location proof etc . Also does anyone know if a tummy tuck / liposuction or like a “mommy makeover” of sorts would qualify for the medical option to get the visa . I’m just curious because I see different scenarios here where people are getting denied and I would like some insight . Thank you so much 💙

Applying through USA consulate Los Angeles.

Application submitted Dec 7th

Request for more documentation Dec 13th

Sent in my further requested documents on Dec 14

I still haven't heard anything as of Dec 20th.

It seems like most people are seeing faster turn around times after document request than me. Any advice or experience? I don't fly until Jan 20th, so maybe they are delaying until closer to the fly date? I'd rather just have it settled...

Thank you

Quick Question: Im filling out the form. How do I add my husband & Kids., Dont see the option. Thanks in advance.

DTV approved!! I wanna share my experience with the applying members. I got lots of help from the members of this group. Thank you everyone 🙏🙏🙏.

I got approved in Vientiane, Laos. My walk-in appointment on Dec 11 and collected my passport on Dec 13.

(Note: After Dec 20 Thai Embassy in Vientiane will be closed until January 1 to upgrade their system to e-visa application)

My previous visa was in Thai language school.

I am working remote for a Singapore-based company. I applied under "workcation as a remote worker" category.

This is the list of documents I submitted

- Letter of request for visa approval

- Filled out Visa application form

- Portfolio (Resume)

- Education background and career related certificates

- Employment Contract

- Payslips since contract started

- Verification Letters from my Employer Company (employment certificate, remote work verification, visa sponsorship letter)

- Company registration docs (Singapore ARCA docs since my employer is Singapore-based)

- Bank statement 6-month (some say 3-month okay but I submitted 6 to be safe. I used Bangkok Bank account)

My employment contract with the Singapore-based company started in October. I submitted my Oct, Nov payslips. But the officer gave them back to me over the counter.

I wrote a neat cover letter "Request for Visa Approval" mentioning my purpose to apply for DTV. The officer carefully read it and asked me a few questions about my remote job.

I saw that the most important documents the officer carefully checked were

- Employment contract

- Company verification letters

- Company registration docs (Singapore ARCA)

- Bank statement

I submitted a 6-month statement of my Thai Bank account I opened with my language school visa.

The officer carefully checked transactions at the end of each month. I think it should be an account you are using regularly.

Lucky for me my company supported all the necessary documents and everything went well at the embassy.

I got lots of help from the members of this group. Thank you everyone.🙏🙏 🙏

And I hope everyone will get approved and live in your dream country.

Has anyone here ever herd of a "visa application pending approval" for past time? ie You just submitted a visa for the time of december 2023 - december 2024

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.
