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.

Hi everyone, I am planning on applying for a DTV workcation for myself and 2 dependent DTV for my children. My husband will apply for a Non-0 volunteer visa (he needs a work permit). We are applying through Chicago. My husband and I have a joint bank account. We currently have the 500,000 baht in our account. I am able to move over additional money to cover my dependents. I am wondering if I also need to move over enough money to cover my husband. Even though he won't be on a DVT, my concern is they will want me to have the money in there since it is a joint account. Thanks for your help!

The embassy is asking me for documents about my client for the DTV workcation (I freelance for them). As I don’t think I’ll get the documents, I’m wondering if I can switch the application to soft power as I’m planing to study thai anyway.

Have anyone ever been in that situation (switching the scope of a DTV application) ?

Hi everyone!

I’m a software engineer working as a freelance and I am planning to apply for the DTV workcation visa.

I have 6 months of statements for my freelance account and proof of savings accounts overs 160k CAD (110k USD).

Is that sufficient for the visa application (to prove freelance activity AND financial situation) or is there anything else to improve my luck in the selection process ?

Hi All,

I want to apply for a DTV workcation visa based on my being self supportive by managing my stocks. I see online I will need to provide bank statements, but no specifics. I have scoured the websites, googled it and scrolled down through these FB groups but am still unsure. My questions are:

* Does anyone know if they have specific minimum income thresholds and if so for how many months do they want bank statements?

* I am not incorporated/have no company or paychecks, it's just me and my cap gains and dividend distribution transfers. Have others gotten visas in this scenario?

* I plan to apply while in Ho Chi Minh, but through the ThaiEvisa site portal. Does anyone have any pertinent information on doing it this way versus in person at the embassy in HCM?

* Alternately, how many times in a row can I leave Thailand and re enter under the 60-90 day tourist visa and not have any problems with immigration? I have heard 2-3 times, but what is your knowledge of this?

Hello, quick question. I was granted the DTV workcation visa (UK based) on the grounds of remote work (my own limited company). Just wondering if I need to show any additional evidence at immigration. In terms of the application process I already uploaded the companies house documents, evidence of funds... etc. I am curious to know if I should prepare any paperwork to show immigration. Also is there a 90 day report requirement - as there isn't anything mentioned on the visa itself?

Thank you to this group for providing lots of info, hope this helps someone applying to the same location.

Based on the requirement of a bank savings balance of at least 500,000THB (or equivalent) from the last two months' statements, does anyone know the exact exchange rate for this amount in SGD?

My consolidated bank statements from the past two months show only a total of 19,100SGD. At today's exchange rate, it would amount to only 497000THB. I have additional savings in another account that would bring the total to 500,000THB. However, if I transfer the balance internally within this week, it won't reflect on my statements until the end of the month. Since I plan to submit my DTV Workcation Visa application within this week, would the 19,100 SGD from the past two months' statement be acceptable? Can anyone advise, thank you!
