UPDATE: DTV approved. Thank you everyone who has been kind and helpful throughout the process.

Earlier post: Has anyone gotten any approval from the Manila embassy this week?

Just got our two DTVs approved 12 days after submission with Siam Legal through the Ottawa embassy. Would recommend!

Is it possible approval for the DTV approval to be given over the weekend / outside usual working hours (9-5ish) ? We applied in Hanoi on Monday, yesterday (Thursday) we received a request for an additional document to confirm our location. It is now Friday but are current accommodation ends tomorrow and we are wondering how many days extra accomodation we should extend. Appreciate we can’t know when we will hear back but if approval is never given over the weekend then we might as well book until Monday, otherwise we will just book day by day, hence the ask - thank you in advance! ☺️

My DTV was approved and I'm going to apply for my husband and children under mine. My husband is currently working in the US but will not be working when we go to Thailand. When filling out the application, do I put his current employment or that he is unemployed?

How long does it usually take for the Thai consulate in Hong Kong to approve DTVs? Is it a relatively easy or difficult process compared with other Thai consulates in Asia?

Which embassy (other than Vietnam) in SEA is currently best for dtv approval for remote work? less complications, higher chances of approval, quick process and accepts 3 months Bank statement?

DTV approved. Morocco. Thai embassy in Rabat.

4 workings days.

DTV MANILA APPROVAL —

Applied on 9th November for Workcation, Requested documents on 14th November, Approved 17th November.

I was initially quite surprised that they requested more documents as I sent over more than what I thought was required. The initial submission was about 80 pages including bank statements being about half of that. I included message logs from me and my team, business registration documents, messages to and from suppliers, invoices from suppliers, invoices from 3rd party businesses, messages to and from 3rd party businesses, 4 month statements from all accounts (business, personal and savings account), then proof that I was in PH (Airbnb receipt, stamp and flight details)

The additional requested documents included 6 months statements from business and personal - I submitted a years worth.

wanted to see sales dashboards from my business for the year

Wanted to see orders going through and who they were going to

Listings online for my products

And payment confirmations from e-commerce sites to my business bank.

I reckon with the new changes, they are possibly going to tighten down as I thought that I submitted more than enough details business wise but my recommendation is to submit everything you would feel is necessary to prove that your business is legitimate, even going over board.

Hello guys, What’s the longest time it usually takes to get DTV approved in Cambodia? Mine has been pending for 20 days and still hasn’t been approved.
