Since I have all my funds in my company accounts, I need to transfer to my personal account, and therefor are not able to present a 3 or 6 months statement…

So my option is to apply from an embassy, that accepts the current bank statement.

I am going for the digital nomad / workcation option.

💰 What embassy accepts 500K as only CURRENT balance (digital nomad, NOT soft power option)?

Anyone have experience with this? (Not the soft power option, bc they usually accept the current statement only, from what I can see).

I would prefer to apply from Asia.

Thank you all for all your amazing help and advice ☺️🙏🏼

Employment certificate ( Thanks very much to Samantha Haselden from this gp for the direct advise) indicating remote work.

Hi, I have an online vintage clothing shop on Depop which was pretty successful but it doesn’t make me that much money anymore. I have the 500,000 baht but I am wondering if there is a certain amount you need to be earning to get the Dtv?

Would I be able to apply using the shop as my portfolio?

Or is it better for me to apply though the Muay Thai/ cooking class route?

I’m worried about getting denied 🙃

I got my DTV yesterday - just have to have the documents ready. I did it all online. Employment letter stating you’re remote. Bank account proving you have enough funds. Company proof of existence.

Hi everyone,

I got to Vietnam (HCMC) on Monday and submitted my application around 10am and haven’t heard anything back yet- I know it’s probably too early to hear anything (I’m just nervous lol) but my plan was to leave next Thursday night to go back to Thailand and I’m just wondering if that’s enough time? I’ve seen a few people say it took longer in HCMC than they thought so when should I start worrying?😂

I hold a uk passport and I’m applying for workcation if that makes a difference!☺️

Thanks!

Posting because this group has been very helpful.

DTV success in HCMC, Vietnam. Soft Power - Muay Thai.

Applied from Danang on Nov. 27 around 11am, received the visa today, Dec. 4 around 1pm. 5 business days as advertised. Provided 6 months of bank statements, including a recent screenshot of my balance because my most recent statement only covered until Oct. 30 (all over 500k THB), relevant paperwork from the gym, proof of presence in Vietnam (photo of VN visa stamp, VN evisa, hotel booking and receipt combined into a PDF). Did not receive any requests for additional documentation. Fairly painless process.

Thanks everyone, and good luck.
