Hi everyone, I’d appreciate some advice from anyone who has gone through the DTV remote work process.

I applied for a DTV under the remote work category while staying in Vietnam. With my application, I already submitted my employment contract, employer approval letter, proof of company registration, bank statements showing the required balance, and six recent salary slips.

Today I received a request for additional documents, and I’m trying to clarify their expectations. They asked again for salary slips and bank statements, which were already provided, so I’m not sure if they want updated versions or a resubmission.

They also requested income tax documents for the last two years (2023–2024). In my case, income tax documents are issued only after the end of the tax year. I did not work during 2023 and 2024 and only started my current employment in April 2025, so I don’t have tax forms for those years.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Would a letter from the accountant of my current employer confirming my employment start date be sufficient, and what details should such a letter include?

Thanks in advance for any insight or experience you can share.

Is there an online site and list to download the documents needed to renew my Retirement Non O Visa? Also what document shows the expiration date and how many days before it expires to renew the visa?

hello guys, i got a DTV interview appointment at Laos Thai embassy. May I know what kind of questions that the counselor would ask?

Here is some tips for the tourist 30 day extension forms, for any newbies.

When I report to immigration for the TM 30 after arriving in Thailand 24 hours earlier, I go to the visa information office and pick up the forms for the extension.

I then take them home and fill them in at my leisure, I also make a photo. copy of the blank form. in case I make any mistakes.

This saves time when I actually go for my extension..

Also yesterday at immigration I took a photo of all the completed forms that Thailand py partner had to sign,

This will help for next year's forms, If I am still fit enough to return

It was busy yesterday at Korat IMO, but 4 hours to complete that included a 1 hour lunch break wasn't too bad.

Just got approved for the Dtv Workcation in Manila took 11 working days and multiple documentation follow ups.

Sri Lanka

It said you will receive payment receipt in your email, I didn’t but it’s showing pending document check and I can actually see the receipt on the system. I am just worried if they ask for additional documents via email, and why I didn’t get any confirmation on email. Does Sri Lanka office communicate vie the system or through emailing ?

I have retirement non o visa status and just renewed my 1yr extension.

Plan to move in with my girlfriend who rents a house. What paperwork do I need for immigration purposes? At the moment I have a lease on a condo as my permanent address ,but I will give that up. So for a new tm30 etc. What do I need?

Approved in Hanoi! 🎉 4 full working days (Tues, Wed, Thurs, Mon) because of the holiday! Remote work application with ISSA company which I highly recommend using if you have a visa history like me. 4 years of Thailand visas (Covid extensions, and 3 education visas). No additional docs requested.

Hello everyone,

I want to apply for the DTV remote worker, in HCMC in Vietnam. Can anyone tell me if I should go there or somewhere else? Any experience on how long it takes or how hard it is to get everything approved? Do I need notary or apostille stamps for my documents? Obviously I have the money and income but I'm worried about other documents.

I have an official business registration and freelancer work contract from the Netherlands but I'm German myself. Any help and experience would help. Thanks in advance!

90 days report.

Applied for a non O on a visa exempt. Does the time on a visa exempt counts towards the 90 days ? I guess it does, just double checking.

What docs do you need now ? Did it online before.

And thirdly. Im currently waiting for my new passport to arrive from the UK. Can I do it on the old passport ?
