Approved DTV Workcation in Oslo. Sent all the papers needed, I'm a Youtuber so I sent all the payment receipts of the last 7 months by Google. The application went smoothly, it took basically 2 days. They asked for 3 months statements from my bank, and to describe my work. All in all, it went great! 😊

DTV Workcation accepted via London Embassy.

1. Submitted application Wednesday 25th.

2. 26th - request for additional documents (I submitted a professional passport photo, they wanted one taken on my phone (weird). Alongside another letter from my employer, the first letter noted I can "work from Asia" I asked my employer to rewrite adding in specifically "Work remotely from Thailand, and will not conduct any business in Thailand"

3. Submitted additional documents Saturday 28th.

4. Status changed to pending approval Monday 30th.

5. Visa received 1st July (8:30PM)

I submitted only what they asked for. Nothing additional such as a cover letter. They didn't ask to see more than the one month bank statement I provided (albeit I would have happily supplied them).

Over the moon, I fly Friday :D

Changing passport: Just to confirm please, if anyone 100% know by experience.

My DTV workcation is on the old passport.

I’m about to change passport due to ending of pages.

As I know, old passport will be not valid after this procedure.

But I will be able to pass immigration holding two passports?

DTV Workcation approved from HCMC, Vietnam yesterday. Thank you everyone for helping!

Wanted to give an update on the translation of documents: I have used normal translations (click transkate website for babk account overview for example) and submitted invoices in German with added translations by me next to the original text marked in colour.

After having it 'pending approval' for ages with all the holidays in the last month I sent a very polite email yesterday pointing out my approaching visa end in Vietnam and if they need any more information. Got the approval 1.5h later, not sure if it was related to my email 🙂 Thanks and good luck everyone!

Hey all! Thanks for sharing all your info. I got approved for my DTV workcation from US. I went the DTV route as I was denied access to BKK about a month ago.

Now that I have the proper documentation I am planning to re-enter BKK tomorrow. Of course I am nervous now 😅even though I did everything correctly. When I arrive and they ask me how long I would I like to stay and what will I be doing. Shouldn’t I be able to say 180 days and that I will be enjoying the country and working as a digital nomad on my computer?

Any recommendations on how to best answer these questions?

Hi! I am applying for DTV workcation from the US.

I do not always have the $15,000USD in my account. I can have a family member send me a few $1000 to make my account balance reach that amount ( is this frowned on). However my bank statement would show that amount just reached my account. Can you just send the balance or are they being strict on needing to see all your transactions?

Also, I have a large amount in my IRA account, this is also my money. Does anyone know if they take that into account as well ?

I appreciate any clarity, feedback, suggestions on what worked for you 🙂

DTV Workcation Approved in Taipei for US passport holder living in Chiang Mai

9 March

Departed Chiang Mai, arrived in Taipei.

10 March

*7:42 AM*. Arrived at National Immigration Agency (內政部移民署, 廣州街15號) and took my place behind a short queue of 9 people waiting outside.

*8:00 AM*. Doors open and I retrieve a queue number from a machine and an application form located next to that machine. I fill out the form at the tables provided and proceed to the waiting area.

*8:08 AM*. My number is called and I approach the agent, hand her my queue ticket, passport, and completed form. She also asks for a copy of my passport, which I had on me, and the NT$100 fee, insisting on exact change. I verify my info on her screen, then she leaves and returns with the needed document and a receipt (I speak and read Chinese, so this all happened rather quickly). I go back to the tables at the entrance and pull out my computer and phone. I photo the document, uploaded it (using hotspot) to my nearly complete application, and clicked “Done.” When attempting payment, I received an error message four times. I decide to return to my guest house to try again there in case I need to call my bank. During the bus ride back I review posts in this group and learn it could be any number of issues, including my VPN.

*9:35 AM*. I arrive back at the guest house and try payment once more, this time without VPN. It works.

*11:15 AM*. I receive an email requesting the following:

“• Other request documents: Your company's license.

• Other request documents: Please provide records of salary transfer to your bank account (within 3 months).”

Thanks to a previous post, I already had my employer’s US business license and uploaded it immediately. For the “records of salary transfer,” I used electronic copies of my paychecks plus phone screenshots of US bank deposits made by my employer. I arrange these into a single, separate PDF and submit both documents.

*3:06 PM*. I receive yet another email suggesting my last submission was insufficient:

"• Other request documents: The transaction details must show the bank's name and your name with account number. (within 3 months)"

It’s possible the reviewer missed the info on my initial submission as my name is listed as a joint account holder (with my spouse as the primary). On this assumption, I encircled the relevant info with wider red lines and also included my 2024 W-2 (US annual wage and tax statement) on the hunch that the purpose was to verify sufficient salary. I upload the single PDF and submit it.

11 March

No communication whatsoever. Status remains unchanged at “Processing.”

12 March

*9:35 AM*. To my surprise, I receive an email indicating my visa is approved. I can’t believe my eyes, so I log on to the site and it’s indeed consistent with the email. No request for an interview. So, I change my flight and prepare to head back to Chiang Mai. With time to burn and a copy shop nearby, I go and print the e-visa.

*10:16 PM*. It’s my turn at passport control. I hand the officer my passport and the e-visa printout. Within 2 minutes he scans both, takes my photo, stamps my passport, and I enter Thailand saying nothing more to the officer than “Thank you.”

----------

Pardon my verbosity—I hope the info is helpful. Sorry in advance for not replying promptly to any questions. Try searching the group posts, use the filters, and patiently read. Thanks to everyone else who’s shared info!
