I submitted my DTV visa in Hanoi 🇻🇳 on 2nd March, and they requested for additional documents on 4th which I submitted the next day. It was pending approval since 6th, and I got email yesterday night that my visa application was canceled. When I went to the embassy today morning to ask, they said what they could see in the system is that the documents are not good enough, and that’s all they could say. Is that common recently? I didn’t hear of rejected cases before, but just yesterday I heard that some other people got rejected too.

If I fly back to Thailand now, I think 14 days won’t be enough to make a new plan. So while I’m here, should I apply for TR visa? Are there any rejected cases for that too?

Or would it be okay for me to try DTV visa at another country like Cambodia? Is there a chance to get rejected again since they might have records in their database?

I arrived to Thailand yesterday on my DTV visa very easy process had no questions by immigration a true smooth process, a lot easier than I expected so glad to be here.

Hi

I would like to share my experience with application for DTV in Taipei based on workcation. Im employed by my own company back in EU.

Whole application took exactly 5 working days. I honestly expected it to be faster (based on previous reviews) but cannot complain :) I was on holiday anyway.

In the past I was on Non-O marriage visa but since they cancelled multiple entry option last year I had to find some new solution and DTV seemed like the best option. Im rarely in Thailand more than 90 days in a row so 1 year extension of Non-O visa based on marriage would be complicated for me(waiting period etc...).

Applied on 17.2.2025 in the morning with these documents:

* Cover letter (with reasons why I apply and overview of documents that I provided)

* Employment contract

* Remote work confirmation letter (allowing myself to work from Thailand)

* Overview of my work tasks (simple PDF with screenshots of my daily work and comments)

* Extract from business register about my company (date of incorporation, identification number etc...)

* Personal bank statements with more than 500 000 THB (deposited 3 months ago) and with highlighted salary income (6 months)

* Payslips (6 months)

* Accomodation confirmation letter from my wife (letter, copy of ID and Tabien Baan) that she allow me to stay with her in Thailand :)

* Certificate of entry an exit dates from National Immigration Agency in Taipei as a proof of current location

* Booking confirmation for accomodation in Taiwan (the embassy staff didnt care about this since they have certificate of entry a exit dates)

* Ticket to Thailand

* Ticket to back to EU in 6 weeks

Some documents were in English and some were translated to English by rapidtranslate.org

3 hours after I sent my application the status switched from Pending document check to Pending approval

On 18.2.2025 in the evening I received an interview request on 21.2.2025

Interview was honestly not that bad. I was asked why I apply in Taiwan and not back in my coutry. Why Im not applying for Non-O visa and then some questions about my work and life. The embassy staff was friendly but strict at the same time :) In and out within 20 mins.

3 hours after my interview I received approval. I hope this helps you somehow.

Someone have been invited for interview before? What kind of questions you can expect?

Thanks for your help 🙏🏻

Any good dtv agencies that someone’s actually used in Pattaya? Or anywhere really.

Wow, just got rejected by Los Angeles. All they said was,

"Your visa application has been rejected. Please reapply visa, the name on the application is incorrect. Please fill in the name/middle name/surname/suffix or “-“ or spacing, no more no less, exactly as it appears on the travel document /passport."

I went back in and submitted a new application, this time trying to understand what could have gone wrong. At the final step before submitting, it looks like the system randomly deleted my middle name. I went back to the beginning and filled everything in again. At the final step, my middle name was there. I guess that's it. The first time, I guess I thought maybe it was blank there for a reason, because of course I filled in my middle name.

The lesson is to expect glitches and carefully review the boxes before submitting. That's a great way for them to get extra money on more applications.

Hi! Thanks to this group for the informations shared. I'd like share too my experience maybe can be useful for someone applying from Italy.

I applied for Dtv soft power in Rome Embassy.

I upload documents from school, my bank statement from wise (money put just 2 day before my application) and ID card number for residence.

Additional documents asked: ticket for Thailand ( I already give to them but they didn't see...I upload again).

In 4 days received mail with approved visa.

Fast and easy when you have all documents ok.

Hi, anyone applied DTV visa in India and got approved ? Please share your experience.
