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!

Advice needed

I've been employed remotely for a US company for the last three years. I have my employment contract, money in the bank, a letter from my employer stating remote work is acceptable and tax returns for the last two years showing income from remote work. However, I've been taking an extended holiday for the last 6 months so I don't have proof of income during that time. I've started working again but won't be paid for a month or so.

Anyone know if this is likely to be an issue? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone successfully gotten their DTV approved after canceling the non-ED visa? I am 2 months into my non-ED, and DTV was not yet issued back then. I have been working remotely for a UK firm while living in Bangkok. How do you transition from non-ED to DTV?

DTV approved.

Danish citizen so applied through the E visa system Copenhagen.

Pretty simple and just submitted what was in the form:

Remote work.

Applied and paid the fee last Monday.

Work contract (Taiwan employment).

For the 500,000 i just took a screenshot of my account with current status.

As expected they asked for further documentation as my contract does not mention remote work, so a follow up document from my line manager sorted it out apparently.

Good luck out there

DTV Application - Online.

[members only]

Processed by the Thai Embassy, London.

I applied under the ‘company director’ option.

I sent them the following;

Full UK companies house registration document. I also attached a letter stating I am the sole director of this company and I offer online business development services and that I work remotely and I wish to work remotely in Thailand hence the reason for this visa application.

The name of my Ltd company also states ‘ online services’

I sent 1 bank statement showing the funds required.

I used my driving licence as proof of UK address.

I sent name, address and contact details of the landlord of the rental property I would be staying at in Thailand

After 2 days there was a request for further documents;

Other request documents: - Self assessment tax return 2023-2024 / Statement of accounts / Accountant's letter / Personal tax calculation or computation statement from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)

Other request documents: - A copy of your bank statement printed out with the authorization by the bank . Please ask your bank to print out those and take the picture and upload to support your application.

I replied with a letter from my accountant and a photo of the same bank statement, just printed out and not the PDF version.

2 days later, visa approved.

This was a very very simple process for.

I hope this helps some others who are applying.
