Hello everyone,

I am currently in Malaysia and did my online application for the DTV visa. I am 32 years old and a swiss passport holder.

My situation: I just graduated for a Master degree in Business and Hospitality Management this July. I started working for a swiss company fully remote on 1. August 2025. That means till now I only got 1 payslip. The embassy request now the payslip for the last six months. Can I explain my situation in a letter? Also I showed them enough funds on my swiss bank account (+1million THB on the cash account since 2 years). They now want me to convert my swiss franks on my swiss bank account in THB, which I definitely will not do.

Next, I have a contract in English with that swiss company. And also a letter from the CEO explaining my position. Now they say I need to go to swiss embassy in Kuala Lumpur to let them clarify its a real document. But I read that the swiss embassy doesn't do that in Malaysia, only in Bangkok. But I can't leave Malaysia as I am in the application process.

Anyone else had just send one payslip (mine is about 100k THB) ?

I thought maybe they don't let me stay in Thailand as remote worker because I just started working remotely. Should I better do the DTV visa for Muy Thai? I mean I anyway want to train muy thai. But I will definitely upload the documents I have and see if I get rejected.

Thanks for your help

Hey gang, I'm about to apply for the DTV from Australia, and I want to make sure I've covered all my bases before submitting. If applying as a remote worker, are payslips a NECESSITY, or will proof of my employment (ie contract) suffice? The website is sparse when it comes to requirements, and I don't want to have it rejected. I've been researching posts within the group, but still can't gauge if they're 100% needed.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I saw some past messages around it but can't find them anymore so sorry for asking what has already been asked.

I'm going to start a new job (remote) and would to apply to workation DVT. I know some embassies rejected such applications because it's a new employment relationship and they want to show 6 months of payslip from the same employer.

This is not a money issue (I have 6 months payslips from my previous employer since I'm jumping from a contract to another, and have the required balance), but just the fact that this is a new contact.

Do you know the position of HCM/Hanoi/PP/Ventiane on this topic? did anybody got a DVT approved in the region with a brand new employment contract?

Thanks

I'm thinking of taking a remote job with a different company. Will i need to wait for a payslip before apply for my DTV. I have the required 500,000 bank statement and a rental income agreement, do you think this and the employee contract will be fine for visa approval from UK?
