Approved!

Online from Australia.

After 3 weeks of back and forth with more documents I finally was approved today.

Uploaded the following:

-Bank statement

- letter from my company to myself stating rights to work remote

- 2 client invoices

- page detailing work done in one given month for clients

See you in Jan

Anyone else use a screenshot of bank account when applying? Washington Thai embassy. Workcation. Business owner.

Things I included in the application :

-Texas ID for proof of location

-Articles of formation and EIN letter from IRS

-Screenshot of my website

-Screenshot of my Shopify sales report for 12 months

-Letter stating that I am the sole owner of my business with hundred percent ownership, statement that I don’t have any clients in Thailand and only have customers in North America Europe

-Screenshot of bank balance with $24,000.

My account is a business account with my business name on it, but I can get a letter from the bank stating I am sole owner of account.

Last year I successfully applied for a UK holiday visa for my TGF. This year I want to apply for a Schengen visa to visit Spain. I have 48 pages of docs submitted for last year's visa so I don't need an agent. What I want is help in securing an appointment to deliver the application and support docs from someone who has navigated the system. Cheers.

Hi, everyone! I almost hesitate to write since I applied this morning only. (Hoping for a successful result on Wednesday afternoon. 🤞🏻) However, I thought I'd still try to help others.

In case you haven't seen this info in other posts, in addition to the documents stipulated in the infographic, do take the following:

1. A copy of your passport, even though they'll be keeping the original

2. A copy of your Lao visa on arrival (or other Lao visa), even though it's in your passport they'll be keeping

Finances:

Even though (or maybe because) I maintained more than double the required amount in a Thai bank account for the last six months, the officer didn't pay much attention to my bank statements.

Employment:

Instead, there was a lot of focus on my employment confirmation letter. Even though our HR (I work remotely, full-time) prepared it with great care, it didn't seem sufficient. The officer was looking for "company licensing documents" and/or a full employment contract. Definitely err on the side of providing too much information!

Other tips:

Although not necessary, you can save yourself some time at the Embassy by printing and completing the visa application form beforehand, and gluing your two pics in the spaces provided.

(Although this might not be the case for everyone, they didn't ask any questions about where I'm staying in Thailand (or Laos).)

Good luck! 🤞🏻

What document can i use to indicate current location if I am in my home country?

Im British applying in UK .

Thanks

Hi everyone. I am doing my Retirement Visa renewal myself for the first time. What all documentation will I need when I go to Immigration? AND please save all the ignorant wisecracks.

Came to Jakarta the day prior to submitting - 10/10.

Had 6 months of financials - they actually gave me back 4 months said only needed 2, but more is always better in this case imo.

Soft power documents- in my case Muay Thai

Documentation of flights in and out of Indonesia and accommodation

5.6m idr

And copy of passport with all stamps and bio page

Application filled out, signed and photos stapled already

I arrived at 645, the first person arrived at 3am straight from the airport. I was in and out before 10am my time at the window was literal minutes I had everything ready to go; was told to come back Thursday 10/14 and given a slip.

Retrieved it today and I did not see ANY rejections out of the 30ish people I talked too, so all applied for various reasons from soft power to medical to digital nomad.

Hope this is helpful they will close in person the 21st so if are considering I would book a flight asap

Cheers.

Hello! I am planning on applying for remote work DTV in Danang through the eVisa at embassy based in HCMC. Has anyone else applied whilst based in Danang using eVisa system? Any tips or thoughts?

I'm UK Ltd company director. It would be good to know what documents people have been using as proof so far.

Cheers!

I would like to tell you my experience out of the Los Angeles embassy. I just received my DTV e-visa today on Oct 30, 2024. I first applied as a remote worker on September 11, 2024. On September 27, 2024 I received an email that said this: "Your visa application has been rejected. Please reapply visa, the name on the application is incorrect." I am certain it was correct, so I was kind of angry. I advise everyone to take screen shots of every page as you fill out the application and double and triple check it and make sure it is correct. On October 3, 2024 I paid another $400 and applied again making absolutely sure it was correct. On October 4, I got an email requesting further documentation. They wanted my most recent tax return and business registration of the company. The tax return was no problem, but the business registration was a problem because I am not a business owner, I am an employee! A few days later, I sent them my tax return and a letter from my employer stating that I am permitted to work as a remote worker. I did not send the business registration because I didn't have access to that as an employee. A week later I got another request for a business registration even though I explained I am not the business owner. Luckily, I was able to obtain a seller's permit from the California State Board of Equalization from my employer and sent it off to them. A few days later I received my DTV. If you are applying for this visa as a remote worker employee, make sure you have access to a business registration of your employer or you will probably waste $400. Once again, also make sure to enter all the information on your application correctly, or that will cost you another $400 also.

I'm about to apply for my dtv visa, I own my own business. Does this mean I have to write my own job letter/contract?
