Hi guys. What additional documents do they want to see for the DTV?

They state: "Please provide details about your current work, including (1) your CV or portfolio, and (2) examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications."

I am confused: I already provided a letter mentioning that I am a business owner/property manager and manage an airbnb in NYC. I provided the listing and a proof of income for 2024 & YTD 2025. I also provided the documents of my LLC.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

We are looking at requirements for Non o 90 day visa, it asks for confirmation of legal residence, what document would cover that , I thought the Uk passport which they ask for would have , any suggestions in the UK ? Also health insurance, we have a year travel insurance that needs renewed in September which we will extend easily but I can’t see anything on insurance to cover covid . We hope to complete this week but reading reviews and other questions online the Thai e visa site seems a bit difficult to navigate . Any suggestions/ advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Who independently applied for a DTV visa for softpower cooking courses, Tell me what documents you requested from the school for the visa application.🙂

Hey everyone!

We’re planning to apply for the DTV in Taiwan and would love to hear from anyone who’s already gone through the process.

We’re a couple - one American, one Israeli and we’d really appreciate any insights, tips, or experiences you can share 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone.

I'm going to apply for DTV next week from Pakistan. I'm a faceless content creator on YouTube. My work is fully remotely, and I can prove my work, my earnings, and my bank statements.

Can anyone help me regarding what exactly documents I need to submit? Or is there any Whatsapp group about this visa?

Another success story from Hanoi - after 2 years on ED visa I was a bit worried, but I got my DTV and entered succesfully through DMK in Bangkok - no question asked. This group helped me a lot applying for my DTV visa, so I too want to contribute. Below are all the details:

Embassy: Hanoi

Category: Workcation (sorry, I forgot which subcategory I picked, not sure if freelancer or company - but my company is registered in my country as Sole proprietorship = 1 person "company")

Time: 7 days = 5 working days

Timeline:

20th April (late night): Applied & paid

21st April: Pending document check

22nd April: Pending Approval

27th April (evening): Approved

> NOTE: I got approved on Sunday, and since there were numerous similar reports (some even mentioned they received visas on official holidays), it seems like the embassy is working also on weekends, and probably also during holidays in some limited mode. So don’t lose hope, you really can receive your visa anytime.

Documents:

1. Proof of current location: 3-page PDF:

- booking of hotel in Vietnam (for 5 nights)

- stamp from Viet immigration

- my Viet e-visa

2. Financial evidence: 10-page PDF:

- last 6 months of bank statements

- also added a screenshot from the current (unfinished) month of April, as I've applied ~ 20th

> NOTE1: I had ~ 600k on my bank account for around 3 months, not 6

> NOTE2: I did not translate stataments to English, as that would be an enormous amount of work (translating 20+ pages of PDF, without breaking layout is not fun…), but it didn’t matter. All I did was highlight the ENDING monthly balance + my monthly paycheck.

3. Portfolio: 16-page PDF:

- Portfolio: 3 pages, just screenshots from my (web) portfolio

- Payslips for the last 6 months: 6 pages

- Proof of my company/business registration: 2 pages

> NOTE: I did translate this one, as it’s quite important, and attached BOTH the original and translated versions.

- Letter to allow myself to work remotely from TH: 1 page

> NOTE: Since my company is a Sole proprietorship, I wrote myself a generic letter that I allow myself to work remotely, my role is this and that, and that if there are more questions, you can contact me any time at a@b.c. There are many examples, so just search this group

- CV: 2 pages

- Screenshots from LinkedIn: 2 pages

Summary:

I made sure all the documents looks nice + I also added a little table of content at the beginning of each document - I think it's quite useful, if you have 10+ pages. I didn’t want to leave anything to chance. It was quite exhausting, and I’m glad it’s over, but it paid off ;)

Useful tools: Use smallpdf.com for merging and editing PDFs. It's not perfect, but I didn't find anything better.

IMPORTANT: Double, triple, quadruple-check your application with fresh eyes before submitting! It’s a lot of documents, a lot of work, mistakes can happen. For instance, I discovered a tiny mistake on my 3rd and final check, so just to be sure, I made a 4th one again lol.

FOR NON-ENGLISH SPEAKERS: Looks like you don’t need to translate everything to English. I only translated my business license, and that was enough. I’d go crazy if I had to translate, let alone notarize, all 30+ pages of financial evidence and portfolio!

Good luck to everybody!

Does anyone have a list of docs that they submitted as professional freelancer portfolio that led to the approval of a DTV visa? Im a producer, I go to Asian countries like Korea and search for source material and unique IP to license and bring back to the US to pitch and remake in Hollywood.

Important to note my pay comes from closing deals, I’m not a 9-5 worker and some deposits from a closed deal are months in between.

Here’s what I have but unsure if it’s enough or even what they want;

-bank statements (Wise) that reflect more than the amount of 500,000 THB.

- a 2025, 1099 from one of the clients for a sale with amount of sale

- letters with letterheads from Hollywood producers and companies stating intentions to do business and what kind of business (format business) and with who (Webtoon, Tapas, Netflix, Gordon Ramsey, Teddy Zee, etc)

- Articles from Variety and Deadline that state my move to bring formats from Asia to the US

- my companies articles of organization as an LLC

- LinkedIn profile link

What else should include in this if any? This has been so confusing and was about to pay for a visa attorney to do it but thought I’d ask here first.

Any help would be super appreciated! Thanks! I’ll have to name anyone who helps in my next TV Drama 😂

Hi, everybody! Iam holding a Non-O visa and about to apply to entend it as a one year retirement visa. What documents do I need for that?

Hello. I have just applied for the DTV and when I was asked for current location proof (I apply from my homecountry) I put bills, bank statement with adress and national id. Will it be enough?

What is possible to apply for my kids as a proof of location? They haven't any id and the adress isn't written in the passport...

Thank you for your help🙏
