Hi . I applied for DTV workcation visa in Japan. Bank statement also ok. they called me for interview. after 5 days later they give me Touris Visa with multi entry. Is that wrong or shall I ask to embassy !

I’m applying for a DTV Workcation visa in Hanoi, where I’m currently located, as a U.S. business owner.

I have all my documents ready: bank statements (USD 17,000 savings, weekly USD 1,000 transfers), tax returns, self-employment letter, and hotel confirmation.

I’m confused about the apostille for my business registration. The embassy says it proves my business’s legitimacy, but it takes 1-2 weeks to get from Utah. Some say Hanoi might accept a non-apostilled certified copy if financial proof is strong.

Has anyone applied for the Workcation DTV as a business owner in Hanoi? Did you need the apostille, or was a certified business registration enough? Any tips? Thanks!

I am in need of residency certificate.

Nonthaburi will not issue a certificate of residency unless you have a long term visa.

I need this to renew my Thai drivers license that expires next month.

Things are not getting any easier here.

Just got my DTV Workcation application approved!! 😆

(UK citizen - Jakarta Embassy)

Approved in 5 days

Here is a full detailed breakdown of my application.

I may have gone a little overboard but I didn't want to take any chances so you may not need to upload to this extent but I wanted to have every base covered

Documents Uploaded

Current Location PDF

* Cover page - explaining what is in this PDF broken into sections 1 and 2

* Section 1 - Cover letter. Explaining why I want to come to Thailand and agreeing to stay compliant with all of the visa rules

* Section 2 - Proof of current location. On seperate pages; my passport biodata page, picture of me on white background (took on phone and used canva to resize to a passport photo size), evidence of entry (I went through the e-Gates and didnt get a stamp so i gave picture of boarding pass, e-Visa, short stay permit), selfie of me standing outside my apartment building holding my passport next to a sign with the building name and finally an Airbnb booking confimtion

Then the next document was my Financials PDF

* Cover page - explaining the 2 sections of this PDF again with short bullet points of what's inside each section

* Section 1 - Proof of 500,000THB. For this, I showed bank statements going back to April. With Starling bank I used a date range rather than giving 4 individual monthly statements it was just one long one with an ending balance over the amount needed

* Section 2 - Proof of income. My wages are paid into a different bank account so i sent 4 months of individual Barclays statements highlighting (using chrome when you open PDF) all of the deposits from my employer in UK

The final document was my employment PDF,

* Cover page of what is in the PDF split into 2 sections

* Section 1 - Proof of employment. On separate pages I had; a signed letter from my employer on company letterhead stating I could work remotely (used ChatGPT to write it), a company registration certificate from Companies House gov website, my signed employee contract, 4 months' worth of payslips downloaded and merged together

* Section 2 - Portfolio of Work. I just made a simple document showing my workflow of what I usually do on a normal day step by step so they could see the process and I supplied screenshots for each step so it was super clear

I applied Wed 20th Aug and I received my approval email Mon 25th Aug.

Notes/Tips:

1. I only transferred the 500,000THB in GBP on 07/08/25, and it had been sitting there for 13 days

2. I only work 1 day a week remotely, so my income is very minimal

3. I read through all of the posts in this group and saw what most people was getting rejected for/requesting more docs for in Jakarta and made a list to make sure I included everything.

Everyone's posts in this group chat really helped me when I was applying so I hope this can help someone else too!

Questions for next steps

* Do I need to do anything else before I arrive other than print my visa in A5?

* How do I know which office to report to every 90 days? Do I get to choose what city it is in or is it selected for me?

* Is there any further documents i need to supply besides my visa & passport when i arrive in Thailand?

Now get me back to the land of smiles 🥳🥳🥳

Hey yall! Applying for the DTV workcation from the states Using Evisa website. My question is regarding the proof of employment document it requests… it seems i can only upload one document. Should it be my LLC registration or a letter explaining that I am sole proprietor of said LLC and how i make income remotely?

Hello, do I have to prove income or regular income for the DTV workcation or just the account balance of 500,000 THB?

Got approved for DTV workcation yesterday which I am very happy about.

Now I want to ensure a frictionless entry. I've been reading of being being questioned intensely on entry - even with the visa.

I'm coming off 3 weeks outside the country after a very long stay on visa exemptions and extensions. As far as I'm concerned I'm fully legit with my visa now, do I just have the visa and digital arrival card ready when going through or do I need to be practicing my story, detailing plans etc. ?

Anyone with experience with DTV Workcation visa from Chicago embassy? How long did it take? Did they request any additional documents? Thank you.

Hey peeps!

Just got my DTV Workcation Visa approved today, applied via the Penang, Malaysia consulate. Super relieved but if I am being honest, I wouldn’t recommend going through that branch unless you are ready for some serious mental stress 😅

Timeline:

📅 Applied: 24 June

📎 Submitted additional documents: 4, 8 & 10 July

✅ Approved: 10 July (submitted docs in the morning, approved by evening)

Huge thanks to this group for all the helpful tips! I would love to give back -- feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Happy to help! :)

Hi everyone!

I am applying for the DTV workcation visa and they’ve asked me to provide more details about my job and also a sample of my work. I work in sales for a room rental company - does anyone know what kind of work sample I should provide in this case? Screenshot of conversation with customer? Company's landing page?
