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?

I run a limited company and pay myself a salary of £1,000 per month, with an annual dividend top-up of around £20,000. My total income on my tax return comes to approximately £32,000 per year.

I recently moved 500,000 THB from the company account into my personal account. I usually invest my funds personally (e.g. in stocks), and I generally keep a personal balance of around £3,000–£4,000. This time, I deposited the 500,000 THB directly into my personal account.

Will my salary and dividend structure be sufficient for DTV Workcation Visa? What’s the lowest amount of income has someone been accepted with?

I'm applying for the DTV under the Workcation category in HMC.

I've been asked: "Please provide details about your current work, including the examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications."

I've already submitted:

* LinkedIn Profile PDF

* Employer Company Commercial License

* Employment Confirmation Letter

* Employment Contract

I don't know what else they want. I'm a VP of Engineering working full-time remotely (not a freelancer), so I don't have a traditional portfolio. I'm planning to submit a concise work summary outlining my role and responsibilities, along with a notarised copy of my university degree. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything else you think I should add? Thanks!!

Hi has any remote workers on here changed from a Non-O Marriage visa to a DTV Workcation visa?

Hi all, I will be submitting my DTV workcation application from Jakarta next month. Has anyone had any issues doing this with using an AirBnB booking to show proof of stay in Jakarta rather than a hotel booking?

My DTV workcation was approved today after submitting on the morning of the 4th of April before the HCMC consulate opened.

Knowing there was 3 days of holidays meaning the consulate was going to be closed (the following Monday + the next Monday + Tuesday for Songkran).

I didn't expect to get my visa until maybe the 18th.

Was asked for additional documents on the 8th (payslips/statement with deposits highlighted + portfolio).

Status change to pending approval on the 9th.

Received my approval email at 6:20pm today the 16th.

Notes about my application.

I used a Wise account statement to show my funds and to show my pay from my company. I was mildly concerned with using Wise as the bank, but having read everyone else's experience with Vietnam and HCMC I felt that it was fine.

I had only moved my funds into the Wise account a few days beforehand as well. No seasoning at all. Though my statement displayed ample activity of transactions from the last six months.

My portfolio was quite long at 27 pages and to fit it under the 3mb upload limit, the images were compressed heavily. I was worried that would be a demerit in my application so I included in my cover letter for the portfolio a web link to an uncompressed version of the PDF.

Not sure whether that helped or not.
