Hi all,

Just want to share my DTV process:

21 April - Arrived to Jakarta, Indonesia

22 April - Sent all documents and paid for the visa fee in the evening

29 April - afternoon, the embassy asked me additional information about the bank account where I gave my financial statement. I made a separate letter explaining that my bank used my initials as the name in my account, and indeed that is my personal bank account.

Evening, received an email from the embassy that my DTV request is accepted.

More or less, the process took 5 working days for me.

Many thanks to Settle in Abroad who helped me compiling the documents and answering all my questions. As a new digital nomad with only one client, I was at first pessimist on my success rate, but my experience proves otherwise.

HIi,

I applied for the Thailand DTV visa through the official website in Taiwan. The application fee has already been paid, but my visa application was cancelled with the reason:

"Your visa application has been cancelled. Wrong Personal Info: name does not match with passport (middle name)."

However, I’ve double-checked and there doesn’t seem to be any issue with my name.

Does anyone know how I can appeal this? Any help would be appreciated!

Applying in a few weeks at Vientiane.

Just need to clarify a few things on documents from ppl who applied there and in general.

1 . Does the letter from your clients need to be signed by them

EG the letter stating you can work remotely as well as the contract.

2 . If my german client sends his company certificate in german will it need translating.

3 . does each client need a letter of approval to work remotely and a contract

Hello all. Could anyone please confirm what the background colour of the photo for a visa extension needs to be? Can it be blue/light blue?

Good evening all.

I am currently doing my visa in Vietnam but am coming across a small problem and I was wondering if it is something anyone has experienced also.

I have a single pdf file with 6 months bank statements on. When I send this file to others it opens nicely with all statements, however when I upload it to the embassy website it only shows the first page of the statements and I'm worried the file is not working correctly for some reason.

Has anyone experienced this at all.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks 🙏

Hello everyone, are there any Malaysians or Singaporeans on here who have successfully gotten the DTV? Would really appreciate some help on how to fill in our names, since our passports do not differentiate between family and given names. The machine readable zone recognizes our entire name as a family name 😅

Another success story from Hanoi - after 2 years on ED visa I was a bit worried, but I got my DTV and entered succesfully through DMK in Bangkok - no question asked. This group helped me a lot applying for my DTV visa, so I too want to contribute. Below are all the details:

Embassy: Hanoi

Category: Workcation (sorry, I forgot which subcategory I picked, not sure if freelancer or company - but my company is registered in my country as Sole proprietorship = 1 person "company")

Time: 7 days = 5 working days

Timeline:

20th April (late night): Applied & paid

21st April: Pending document check

22nd April: Pending Approval

27th April (evening): Approved

> NOTE: I got approved on Sunday, and since there were numerous similar reports (some even mentioned they received visas on official holidays), it seems like the embassy is working also on weekends, and probably also during holidays in some limited mode. So don’t lose hope, you really can receive your visa anytime.

Documents:

1. Proof of current location: 3-page PDF:

- booking of hotel in Vietnam (for 5 nights)

- stamp from Viet immigration

- my Viet e-visa

2. Financial evidence: 10-page PDF:

- last 6 months of bank statements

- also added a screenshot from the current (unfinished) month of April, as I've applied ~ 20th

> NOTE1: I had ~ 600k on my bank account for around 3 months, not 6

> NOTE2: I did not translate stataments to English, as that would be an enormous amount of work (translating 20+ pages of PDF, without breaking layout is not fun…), but it didn’t matter. All I did was highlight the ENDING monthly balance + my monthly paycheck.

3. Portfolio: 16-page PDF:

- Portfolio: 3 pages, just screenshots from my (web) portfolio

- Payslips for the last 6 months: 6 pages

- Proof of my company/business registration: 2 pages

> NOTE: I did translate this one, as it’s quite important, and attached BOTH the original and translated versions.

- Letter to allow myself to work remotely from TH: 1 page

> NOTE: Since my company is a Sole proprietorship, I wrote myself a generic letter that I allow myself to work remotely, my role is this and that, and that if there are more questions, you can contact me any time at a@b.c. There are many examples, so just search this group

- CV: 2 pages

- Screenshots from LinkedIn: 2 pages

Summary:

I made sure all the documents looks nice + I also added a little table of content at the beginning of each document - I think it's quite useful, if you have 10+ pages. I didn’t want to leave anything to chance. It was quite exhausting, and I’m glad it’s over, but it paid off ;)

Useful tools: Use smallpdf.com for merging and editing PDFs. It's not perfect, but I didn't find anything better.

IMPORTANT: Double, triple, quadruple-check your application with fresh eyes before submitting! It’s a lot of documents, a lot of work, mistakes can happen. For instance, I discovered a tiny mistake on my 3rd and final check, so just to be sure, I made a 4th one again lol.

FOR NON-ENGLISH SPEAKERS: Looks like you don’t need to translate everything to English. I only translated my business license, and that was enough. I’d go crazy if I had to translate, let alone notarize, all 30+ pages of financial evidence and portfolio!

Good luck to everybody!

Full Refund of training fee if visa application declined for any reason. Up to now we have only refunded if failure due to our documents but the landscape has changed and we are in touch with what is going on. We will now refund you if the application fails for any reason. Its bad enough that people are loosing the application fee, at least now the Muay Thai fee is not at risk.

My DTV was rejected with no explanation.

I submitted on 21st April and on 22nd it was pending approval. It got rejected on the 28th April. There was no explanation for rejection either. They never asked any supporting documents and I submitted everything I can for freelance remote DTV.

Any advice would be much appreciated. 🙏
