Hi everyone, these are the documents I have on hand in preparation of the application of DTV in Hanoi. I am a Singapore passport holder. Appreciate if all the kind folks here can advice If they are sufficient:

1. Original employment contract, signed off back in 2021 when I was promoted to be the Director of the company. The nature of my work allows me to work remotely from anywhere.

2. 6 months bank statement, maintaining a minimum balance of THB700,000 equivalent.

3. 6 months payslip, showing that I have been drawing a regular salary from the company even when I am working remotely.

4. Certificate of Employment, signed off by my Regional CEO, indicating my term of employment, annual salary package and my position in the company.

5. Authorisation letter, signed off by my Regional CEO, stating that I am authorised to work remotely from any country in Asia.

6. Monthly contributions to my pension account in Singapore.

7. Tax returns for the 2022 and 2023. Showing that I am drawing a minimum salary of USD83,000 every year.

What are my chances of getting my DTV approved?

Question on remote work contract statement:

Hi all, i am about to apply for my DTV with all the requirements met, however, my employment contract does not specifically state that i work remotely, however, as i work for a global organisation that has offices all over the world, my contract states a "workplace" with the local office address in my current location, however i work fully remote across 3 global regions. Would this pose a problem for my application, or can I simply type up a "letter of motivation" stating the remote nature of my work? (Self signed). Thank you in advance!

DTV approved!! I wanna share my experience with the applying members. I got lots of help from the members of this group. Thank you everyone 🙏🙏🙏.

I got approved in Vientiane, Laos. My walk-in appointment on Dec 11 and collected my passport on Dec 13.

(Note: After Dec 20 Thai Embassy in Vientiane will be closed until January 1 to upgrade their system to e-visa application)

My previous visa was in Thai language school.

I am working remote for a Singapore-based company. I applied under "workcation as a remote worker" category.

This is the list of documents I submitted

- Letter of request for visa approval

- Filled out Visa application form

- Portfolio (Resume)

- Education background and career related certificates

- Employment Contract

- Payslips since contract started

- Verification Letters from my Employer Company (employment certificate, remote work verification, visa sponsorship letter)

- Company registration docs (Singapore ARCA docs since my employer is Singapore-based)

- Bank statement 6-month (some say 3-month okay but I submitted 6 to be safe. I used Bangkok Bank account)

My employment contract with the Singapore-based company started in October. I submitted my Oct, Nov payslips. But the officer gave them back to me over the counter.

I wrote a neat cover letter "Request for Visa Approval" mentioning my purpose to apply for DTV. The officer carefully read it and asked me a few questions about my remote job.

I saw that the most important documents the officer carefully checked were

- Employment contract

- Company verification letters

- Company registration docs (Singapore ARCA)

- Bank statement

I submitted a 6-month statement of my Thai Bank account I opened with my language school visa.

The officer carefully checked transactions at the end of each month. I think it should be an account you are using regularly.

Lucky for me my company supported all the necessary documents and everything went well at the embassy.

I got lots of help from the members of this group. Thank you everyone.🙏🙏 🙏

And I hope everyone will get approved and live in your dream country.

Hi, I’m currently in Thailand on ED visa and planning to go to Taiwan to apply for DTV visa. As I will provide my employment contract as an evidence and it is stating my address in Thailand (my rental), does anyone know if there’ll be a problem that my residence is currently in Thailand? Thanks

Hi team, I’m thinking of applying in Vietnam (HCMC) under the remote worker category. I don’t think I’ll be able to meet the deadline of in-person, so I’ll most likely apply online.

I have only just started this role recently, but have the full employment contract from an Australian based company that clearly states my work is remote. Is it common for the consulate to ask for payslips and if so, what duration of the payslips are required?

I meet every other requirement but worried about the potential proof of “x months” of payslips.

Also, any tips whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I submitted to LA consulate on Friday and today they're requesting 2 documents that I've already submitted:

1. Proof of business registration - I submitted a PDF copy of my client's EIN registration document and secretary of state account number + LLC details (pulled this one from the state's corporate business search website)

2. Employment contract - My contract is labeled as "service contract", as that is what my client's company calls them

I submitted a self employment declaration letter and a cover letter also that both indicated all of these but I'm wondering if they just missed both of these in the original application?

Do I need to relabel the contract something else + submit a diff LLC doc or just submit again what I originally sent in with the application?
