I was asked this as pictured, however, I don’t have a company registration so I gave them my employers company number which I had already applied.

Anyone else get this?

DTV Granted HCMC (Ho Chi Minh City) 29/11/24

UK Citizen

Workcation Category

Not a freelancer; I work for an international company

Flew to DMK same day - no issues at immigration

Maybe a unique case - I was travelling Thailand, Laos, Malaysia and Vietnam in the 6 months prior to application. I got my job as I was leaving Thailand to go to Borneo

Applied 21/11, submitted:

- Passport photo

- 6 months of bank statements + brief cover letter

- I only had the ฿500,000 in my account a week prior to application (I have no idea who lets that amount of money sit in their account rather than somewhere useful).

- Flight itinerary, hotel booking and Vietnam visa stamp as proof of location

- Compnay contract and certificate of employment detailing that I can work globally

Request for extra documents 26/11:

- Photos of every single passport page (sent as pdf, included the front and back cover too)

- Clear photo of Vietnam visa (sent)

- 6 months of bank statements, again (sent)

- 6 months of salary slips (I sent a cover letter instead explaining that I didn’t have any yet as I was a new hire. My contract has the date stated the weird American way (MM/DD/YYYY) so I cleared that up). I attached my contract and certificate of employment again).

Granted afternoon of 29/11/24

Ask any questions. I used this page as a resource, I’m happy to help

Advice needed

I've been employed remotely for a US company for the last three years. I have my employment contract, money in the bank, a letter from my employer stating remote work is acceptable and tax returns for the last two years showing income from remote work. However, I've been taking an extended holiday for the last 6 months so I don't have proof of income during that time. I've started working again but won't be paid for a month or so.

Anyone know if this is likely to be an issue? Thanks in advance.

DTV - London evisa approved - workcation

Relatively easy with the right docs.

Provided:

Letter from employer addressed to the Thai Embassy in London saying I have permission to work in Thailand.

Scan of Drivers license (the card)for proof of address.

Bank statement showing about £13,000 - I asked my bank to send me a statement for just a few days so it did not contain any transactions.

Proof of visa payment

Extra document was requested about 24 hours after the initial application- contract of employment.

After submitting the requested document, the visa was approved on a Sunday 48 hours later.

Only slightly worrying part of the process was that when I first went to pay for the visa, the system sent me some weird error message and I couldn’t pay. To solve the issue , I just completed the forms again and on the 2nd attempt, the payment portal worked.

UPDATE: APPROVED!

Yesterday I submitted application for workation DTV at HCMC. The form by default does not have an upload section for all the docs rumored to be needed (letter of permission, business registration), so rather than combining lots docs into one, I just submitted only what was asked for and hopefully they reach out for the additional ones.

- bank statement

- portfolio

- proof of current location (I took a photo of entry stamp at Danang)

- photo

Crossing fingers!!!

Does anyone have a sample of certificate of employment letter for DTV ? What does it have to contain?

Hi All. So I am about to apply for the DTV for remote work. The company I work for is owned by my brother though, and I am not sure if that could potentially be an issue.

I was thinking to combine my letter of employment, a pdf of the about us page on his website that shows me along with his other employees, and then the incorporation proof from the government website (which shows the company owner).

Do you think the fact that it's a company owned by a family member could be an issue?

I am a remote worker. Can I just provide proof of employment? Is there a specific format?

Hi all, I am about to issue the DTV as a remote worker (employee) in Hanoi. I made the following documents and I would like to confirm that I did not forget anything:

1. Bank statement (confirming I am the account owner)

2. Bank account balance of over 500K in the last 6 month

3. Payslips from the employer for the last 6 months

4. Employment contract stating that I can work remotely

5. employer letter stating that I can work remotely

What am I forgetting here, beside the visa form, passport copy and address in Vietnam?

Just got my DTV approved from Thai embassy in Yangon. Here’s the process:

Got an online appointment two weeks prior. Arrived at the embassy at 9 am, 24th. Submitted all the documents. (Work contract, employment verification letter, six months of bank statement, six months’ payslips, rental contract in Thailand) .

The lady at the counter asked me to come back at 2 for an interview. The Thai staff who interviewed me was very kind. Asked usual questions about my job and why I wanted to live in Thailand. Paid 400 USD and was asked to collect the passport two days later.

The process was smooth. As long as you have your documents in place, I believe they won’t make it difficult for you.

Thanks to everyone who shared their experience here. 🙏
