Los Angeles DTV Update Workcation: Remote Employee (I do not own the company)

I simply wanted to share my experience so far. LA continues to be a long and difficult process for DTV.

Reading experiences from previous people who applied, I added way more documents than requested. I included:

1. Proof of Residence via Lease and Bank Statements

2. Proof of Income/Finances at ~$40,000 USD in one savings account, plus an additional $8,000 USD in another checking account, both backed to the last 6-months. I also included paystubs from my current employer.

3. Employment Contract, Remote Work Agreement, Business Incorporation Documents, Taxes for 2024.

On all of them I provided a cover letter that explained what was included and for what purpose.

Applied May 29th. Received notice June 13th requesting further documents. Four out of the Five requested documents were already included in the initial application:

1. Proof of Location via a Utility Bill (I Included via Lease and Bank Statement)

2. Proof of Finances over $17,000 for the last 3-months (I included 6-months in previous application)

3. Employment Contract (Included in Last Application)

4. Business Portfolio w/ Description of Business Activities (This one was not included prior)

5. Remote Work Agreement (Included in the previous)

I'll keep you updated as to what happens next!

Edit: As of today, June 23rd, it was approved!

I will be applying for my next visit for a tourist visa via the e-visa system, via the UK embassy.

Probably a simple answer, but it asks for proof of finances of no less than 20,000 baht. Will they accept the £ equivalent as shown on uk bank statements?

Hi everyone. I am a British citizen currently in Thailand but I will be going to Malaysia to apply for my Thai non-B visa to work in an English language school. For the online application it seems I need some sort of proof of 'residency' in Malaysia. What can I use for this? My visa upon entry stamp? I also need proof of finances, should my adress on my bank statment be in Malaysia or is it ok for it to be in the UK? Thanks so much for any help/guidance.

Is savanahket in Laos the only place to get 1yr multi entry family visa without proof of finances ? I am sure I read on this site there was another embassy in a neighbouring country that also did this but cannot find it on the search function.

Sorry for the silly question, I just read another post about showing proof of finances. May I ask how best to show this ie bank statement or money in wise account? Please be kind, I have never travelled and so trying my best to get everything right. Any advice appreciated. I am coming from Australia on a 30 day visa exempt on arrival. Thanks in advance

Greetings 🙏🏻

I’m in the process of completing 90 day Non Imm O Visa (for visiting family) application on Thai visa website and in the long list of required documents it has:

Provide proof of finances with bank statements

AND

Provide bank statements showing proof of 10,000GBP in the account

Firstly, what proof of finance do I need to show? Is there a magical number?

Secondly, why are they asking me to show £10,000?

Thank you as always for any help 😊

Hello everyone!

I am going to travel to Thailand on Nov. 4th- November 22,

I have a Mexican passport,

Will be applying for the VOA once I am there.

I wanted ask if anyone knew if I need copies of passport style photos?

Do I need to bring a pre filled VOA application?

And when showing proof of finances, do I need something printed also or can I just show them my bank account?

Thank you in advance!

I have a US passport, and will be applying for a non-o (volunteer) THAI VISA in Vientiane, Laos. My spouse and child will be following me as dependants. For the dependant VISA what documents do I need to bring? I have our marriage certificate and our child's birth certificate. I also have a notarized document confirming my spouse/child relationship from the US embassy. Do I need to show any proof of finances (ex: bank statements or other similar documents- and any minimum amount. Thank you for your help and any advice you can give.
