Can local immigration offices see under what condition (work cation, soft power - and what kind of soft power) the dtv was approved when visiting them for extensions or any other needs?

Hey everyone please. 🥹

I will apply DTV visa January 30 from Hanoi, Vietnam.

So, Here’s what I have.

Remote contract

Recommendation letter

Company Registration ( Dica )

Company license EC

Employee Contract 2 years

Labor card from government

6months Thailand house rental contract

Cover letter

Graphic Designer Portfolio, LinkedIn and other.

Bank Book

Bank statement 500000baht

6 months Payslip

Hotel booking

Flight booking

Vietnam immigration pages

So, is it enough? Can I get DTV visa? What else I need? I heard so many news about visa reject in Vietnam 🥲 that’s why I’m worrying a lot.

Hi. I've searched through the posts, but can't find a clear answer. I'm going to apply for the DTV visa as a remote worker. I have an address in the States, but I'm currently in Zanzibar. Do I state my current location as Zanzibar or as in the States, as that is my residence? I plan on flying into Thailand from Zanzibar, if that makes a difference. But I do have a layover in another country, so they won't see that I came from Zanzibar.

Hello, quick question. I was granted the DTV workcation visa (UK based) on the grounds of remote work (my own limited company). Just wondering if I need to show any additional evidence at immigration. In terms of the application process I already uploaded the companies house documents, evidence of funds... etc. I am curious to know if I should prepare any paperwork to show immigration. Also is there a 90 day report requirement - as there isn't anything mentioned on the visa itself?

DTV approved in Vientiane 🎉

This group was super helpful so wanted to share my experience. Overall it a super smooth process in Vientiane, and much faster than the timeline currently on the embassy website.

* Applied online Sunday 19 January for workcation

* Paid at the embassy on Monday 20 January

* Tuesday 21 January at about 9pm received an email with an interview on Thursday 23 January.

* Went for my interview Thursday morning

* I got an email not even 10 minutes after leaving the embassy saying my visa was approved

* Back in Thailand on Friday, no issues at immigration

Total processing time: 4 business days

The interview was very straightforward, asked me about my job then made me login to my online banking to check it was my name on the account and then verified some transactions. Took less than 5 minutes.

## Documents included in application:

Passport

Photo

Current location:

Photo of Laos entry stamp and visa

Confirmation of hotel booking in Vientiane

Proof of funds:

Included three full months statements plus my January balance so far. Had over 500K each month.

Employment confirmation:

Letter from my employer confirming employment and remote work status, specifically mentioning I can work remotely from anywhere including Thailand

Employment contract

Copy of employer’s Singaporean business registration

I have successfully extended my DTV stay for another six months at the Samut Prakan Immigration Office today. The staff there were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the process. Since I couldn’t find clear documentation requirements online, I sought advice directly from the receptionists (who, I must say, were very beautiful, kind and welcoming). Interestingly, they mentioned I was the first person to visit their office specifically for a DTV stay extension.

As a remote worker, my work contract was an *essential* document for the application. Additionally, I needed to submit financial proof, including:

* An updated bank book (passbook) on the same day of the visa extension

* A balance certification signed by the bank

* A bank statement showing the same balance as the certification

Accommodation documents were also required, such as:

* A copy of my rental agreement

* A TM30 form

Initially, I had prepared a bank statement generated two days prior to my visit. However, this didn’t meet the requirements because the passbook needed to be updated on the same day as the visa extension. One thing to note is that although I had updated my passbook the night before my visit, the officer required it to be updated again on the day of the extension, even if no new transactions had occurred. The receptionist kindly explained this detail during my initial inquiry, but I decided to give it a try with what I had. As a result, I had to make an extra trip to the bank’s ATM to update my passbook. Thankfully, everything else was in order. This requirement could be different if you are using a foreign bank as financial proof. In such cases, they might adjust the requirements slightly, or you may have no choice but to fly out and come back or do a border bounce.

I’m sharing this experience and the document requirements for anyone considering a DTV stay extension. Being well-prepared can save time and effort, and the staff at the immigration office are there to help. Overall, it was a smooth process once all the documentation was in place.

Hi, I'm looking to apply for dtv at HCMC consulate as remote worker. I keep seeing that they ask for 6 months worth of payment slips/proof of income. I've only worked this way for 2 months so far, so that's all I have to show. Is it even worth trying now or should I wait 4 more months with my application? That would be possible for me, but getting it earlier would be more convenient. So that's why I'm asking. Thanks!

Approved in Hanoi!

I'd like to thank everyone in this group for sharing their experience, that's been super helpful. Here's mine with a French passport:

January 14th: Applied under the remote work category

January 14th: Requested additional documents: Page of my passport with the Vietnamese immigration stamp.

January 14th: Moved to "Pending Approval"

January 21st: No news, so I sent an email and called them. No one answered the phone. But around 5PM, I got the visa by email.

What I provided:

1. Savings account with more than 500k. I had about 600k at the time of application. My savings are on Revolut.

1. Work contracts + earning certificate from Upwork. I'm a freelancer with 3 clients in EU, US, UK, and other smaller projects on Upwork. So I merged all the signed contracts + the Upwork paper into 1 PDF.

1. A photo of my passport + my photo in front of the hotel with the room key. I suggest you to add the stamp from immigration too (I didn't). Merge all in a PDF doc too.

1. A flight number and where I planned to stay in Thailand. I booked a temporary flight ticket + a hotel with no credit card required for a month. They do not ask for a confirmation email or any screenshot.

I was in Sapa the whole time while waiting and it was fine.

Please keep in mind that Hanoi embassy will probably close next week due to the Lunar New Year, so it might take longer for you to get it.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again everyone that contributed in this group!
