DTV remote worker visa approved in the "infamous" Kuala Lumpur embassy. They requested lots of documents but once I provided everything, it was approved in less than 24 hours! I just wanted to share it for some people who said that the embassy in Malaysia was bad, as it worked for me, and also to THANK YOU EVERYONE who helped me in this group with their knowledge and opinions 🙏

Hello everyone! You've been helpful before, so I'll post again :)

I've applied for the DTV remote worker visa in Malaysia, and they requested so many documents. I even had to use a notary and get documents apostilled, and so on. Eventually, I managed to get everything and submitted it through the portal. Now the status is again "Pending documents check."

My question is: Can I leave the country and go on a well-deserved holiday somewhere else? I've already been stuck here for two weeks just waiting for the visa.

I mean, is this legally allowed, or could it create any problems with immigration later? I know it's usually advised to stay in case they request an interview, but I could always come back if needed. So my question is more about the legal side, because I can't find clear information about this anywhere.

Thank you!

Hi everyone, looking for advice 🙏

I applied for DTV Remote Worker via HCMC and got rejected unfortunately

Timeline:

• Applied: Dec 25

• Docs requested: Dec 26

• Docs submitted: Dec 28

• Pending approval: Jan 5 → rejected

I submitted bank statements (>500k THB), 6 months salary highlighted, payslips, employer letter, CV/LinkedIn, company profile, full passport + location proof.

Any idea what usually causes rejection at this stage? Tax docs? Company registration? Location proof?

Thanks 🙏

So, here's my situation. I'm a remote worker with completely foreign income of around 3600 usd monthly. I work for a family business but it's not incorporated and more importantly I don't have an employment contract. I have 600k in an American account in my name and a great resume as a software engineer. I'm American and have no overstays or issues, although I did once get denied entry for having two active visas. I also stayed 2 years on ED visa and mastered the content. What do you guys think I should do? DTV remote worker or soft power? I want to take Muay Thai anyway and will probably sign up for it one way or the other.

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!

Help

I'm planning to re-enter with a DTV remote worker in November, I need to know what things will be checked again in the immigration?

Do I need a bank confirmation letter for 500,000 baht?

or bank statement or what?
