Finally! DTV approved in Taipei via Workcation/Freelancer

It was more difficult than I anticipated but I managed to deal with the grilling and unexpected interview.

Applied in person last Friday morning, told to come back at 3pm for approval or rejection. On arrival 3pm was told the supervisor wanted an interview. After an anxious hour wait, the supervisor said she just wanted to clarify my employment. After a few mins of explanation and small talk she told me to come back today for the final decision.

Docs submitted

Typed Application Form

Cover letter detailing reasons for applying.

Bank Certificate of balance in GBP with 500K THB conversion detailed. The officer was not happy with just the certificate and told me she wanted the see the balance transactions and would not process the application without the relative bank statements. I had to rush back to my hotel to print them out. Luckily, I chose a hotel a 10 min walk away.

Also submitted 2 other investment account statements with GBP balance/THB conversion.

Portfolio – CV, focused only on online employment, Client appreciation emails I received and a sample of work.

Submitted 3 contracts. One rejected as it recently started but no payment received. The officer wanted to see 6 months of payments from current work.

Contract 1 – Letter from the President supporting my application, certificate of employment, work contract.

6 months of bank statements with the salary deposits highlighted with a THB conversion. Company registration and company brochure. 2023 income and tax statement

Contract 2 – Certificate of employment, work contract. Company online work guidelines. 6 months of bank statements with salary deposits highlighted with a THB conversion. 2023 income and tax statement. Attempted to submit a company brochure but it was rejected, not sure why.

The original certificate of employment and contracts were in Japanese. English translated versions were also submitted which I did myself and were not notarized.

For those applying in Taiwan over the last remaining walk-in days be prepared to argue in a polite way your case.

Thanks to everyone for the tips!

Hi guys, I’m planning a move to Thailand. I’m 25 and am looking to enter with the regular tourist visa and then continue to stay on an ED visa. Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on schools or can tell me about their experience going this route.

Just got my DTV from the Thai embassy in Laos

Thanks to everyone in this group for their guidance and advice....

My process that I followed

Getting a Laos visa (as a UK passport holder) - USD 40 if you do VOA (visa on arrival)

Evisa option only available now as all bookings this month are full up

- 6 months bank statements showing THB 500k minimum (lucky I have a Thai bank account

but you can do with your home country bank statements showing the equivalent)

- Proof of residency (copy of lease agreement etc)

- photocopy of your passport BIO page

- photocopy of the Laos visa page (did not know this at the time..lucky photocopy place across the road)

- paperwork from the Muay Thai (fitfac) in Bangkok showing DTV approval

- proof of payment for the Muay Thai classes (photocopy needed)

- THB10000 in cash for the non refundable embassy charge.

Had appointment on the Thursday morning and picked up the visa on the Monday (13:30)

Now taking a bus (from app 12GO) from Vientiene to udon Thani (around thb200)

Feel free to ask any questions..but thanks again to the members of this group for their valuable contributions ...good luck to those going through the process

Iam Egyptian seeking to dtv visa with muythai or cooking course I don't like to apply by myself if any recommendations for agency and please if you know about what embassy accept Egyptian to apply because some of them refuse like Malaysia bank statement ok from my home country

Note Egyptian allowed for dtv because many Egyptian approved already

A couple LTR questions for those of you who obtained one. How long were you in “Final Reviewing” status before you were approved or rejected? Additionally, once you were in Final Reviewing, did they ask for any additional documents from that point forward? Thank you!

Is there anyone who applied DTV on Monday in HCMC got approved in these days? I applied on 2nd December-Monday evening around 4:00 pm and still stuck in “Pending Approval” stage. I just want to make sure there may be any problem or not. Thank you all. 🙏

Hi, I would appreciate recommendations on a Muay Thai institute in Phuket, from people who have successfully issued a DTV visa through them😎

Hello. I'm asking for advice. I applied for a DTV visa while was in Bulgaria. I arrived in Thailand with tourist visa for 60 days and two weeks later I saw that I was approved for a DTV visa as a business owner. Now I need to leave Thailand and enter on a DTV visa. Has anyone done this? Is it easy? Thank you very much for your help. I'm a little worried.😊

Hey everyone,

I’m considering applying for a Thai Elite Visa (either Bronze or Gold) for a long-term stay in Thailand.

If the visa is approved and everything goes smoothly (including getting the membership card), is there a specific time frame to get the visa affixed after approval? Or can I get the visa affixed at any time as long as the membership is valid?

Thanks in advance!
