Hi all,

The DTV application document that I found states that my business registration and employment contract have to be authenticated by the embassy of the country where my business is registered. Is the authentication actually necessary?

Hey everyone l’m applying for DTV in tokyo's embassy but l’m only staying there for a work holiday visa. I'm french so my bank account statement is from a french bank and it seems like it's not being accepted by the embassy (They want a statement from japanese bank but i don't have japanese bank account). Also I've been submitted my employment contract but it seems like it's not good. Do you have any advise ? Is there a way to contact the people in charge of my application ?

Hey everyone, I’m currently in Thailand and just got a remote job with an Australian company (starting Monday). I want to apply for the DTV visa, but I’m not sure if my work contract alone is enough or if I need to have been employed for longer. Also, does anyone know which nearby country is best to apply from?

Would appreciate any insights—thanks! 🙏

I'm a business owner (Photography).

Can someone give me an idea of how I should be creating a Employment contract or employment certificate?

If anyone could post theirs that got approved that would be a huge help!

[March 16] Here's the list of documents required for opening a new account using DTV which was given by the bank(TTB). They need a printout of everything mentioned here. I'm yet to do it. Just posting it here as a reference material.

[April 10] I got all my documents ready and within 2 hours I got my bank account.

Steps:

I've seen a lot of posts in this group about how some are able to open and most cannot. Here's the exact steps i followed and the documents needed:

1) You need your remote employment contract signed by you and your employer in ENGLISH. (Mine is from the US)

2) You MUST have a rental agreement for 1 year in your name.

3) TM30 dated not less than 30 days.

4) The House registration document of the owner of your apartment/home

5) [Important] Once you have all these, apply for a Driver's license. This will require a residency certificate too. (I got both of these done through an agent. I got it in 1 day with the express queue. The total cost was 7300 = 3900 [ Residency certificate ] + 2400 [ Existing license in my country converted to Thai license for both car and motorbike] + 1000 [ Express queue ]

Now you have everything ready for the application

[Important]

I applied in TTB, True digital punnawiti. But please know that they only take 3 DTV account applications/day. Since it requires 2 hours for the whole process and they only have 1 English speaking staff

The bank opens at 10.30 AM. And I went there and stood from 9.30 AM. I got everything done by 12.

[ General guideline ]

Don't try to talk loud and be very polite with the staff. They will treat you the same as how you treat them.

I will not be replying to DM's I have already added all the information here. In case of questions, please post as comments. And if it's a valid one, I will answer it there so that there is transparency with others as well.

With employment contract are they looking at the salary to be the main source of said minimum? Asking because I have an official employment contract that is not full time and I also have private freelance contracts. I file taxes (USA) as a freelancer/my own business but also include this contract as an employee.

I’ve heard being employed by a company is a bit easier to file for DTV. However I have higher income from several sources being a private contractor.

What to do here?

When you submit a contract of employment or similar to the Embassy, do you black out any of the information TIA

For those that applied in Taiwan, do they ask to see the contract for remote employees? and do they check the starting and finishing date? also

Hello, I'm sharing my experience after being approved for the DTV Workation visa. I’d like to thank this group again for all the valuable information. I am French.

Application Details :

- Type: DTV Workation

- Location: Hanoi, Vietnam

- Departure: Bangkok DMK → Hanoi

- Hotel booked for: 6 days

Timeline :

- Friday, February 14: Arrived in Hanoi in the evening

- Application submitted online at 10 PM – Status: "Pending document"

- Monday, February 17, 10 AM: Status changed to "Request document" (I had uploaded my company’s registration (KBIS) under section 4 Financial Evidence, but they likely requested the document to move it to section 5 Employment Contract)

- Monday, February 17, 10:30 AM: Reuploaded the company registration

- Wednesday, February 19, 1 PM: Approved

Documents submitted online (official website):

- Passport: Clear photo taken with a phone

- ID photo: 3.4 x 4.5 cm (taken at Kodak and sent to my email in JPEG format)

- Merged PDF containing a photo of visa stamp, boarding pass, flight invoice, and hotel reservation in Hanoi

- Thai phone number

- Permanent address: Address in France

- Current address: Hotel in Hanoi

- Intended date of arrival in Thailand: 7 days after arriving in Hanoi

- Intended length of stay: 170 days

- Flight details: A flight number found on Skyscanner for a return to Thailand (7 days after arriving in Hanoi)

- Accommodation type: Name and address of a hotel booked for 4 days in Bangkok (I think 2 days would be enough)

4. Financial evidence (submitted as a merged PDF with section titles for each category):

- 6 months of bank statements in French (original)

- 6 months of bank statements translated into English (converted PDF to Word with iLovePDF, then used ChatGPT for translation; highlighted salary in yellow for each month)

I HAD THE 500K THB ONLY 2 WEEKS BEFORE APPLYING. If your last bank statement doesn’t show the 500K THB (mine didn’t, since it updates on the 17th of each month), I requested a bank balance certificate from my bank showing I have at least 500k in my current account dated few days ago ONLY, before applying & translated into English from my bank.

- Screenshot of my banking app showing total balance (current + saving, in French)

- Latest savings account statement, not so much, the 500k was on the current account (original + English translation)

Optional – Sponsorship documents:

- Sponsorship letter (English), just say that the company support me financial if needed

- Company commercial register (KBIS – Original & English Translation) (Uploaded under section 5, which is why I received a “Request Document” notification)

- Company bank statement (original + translated)

5. Employment contract section:

- Employment contract (English) including job title and role

- Employment certificate (English, generated with ChatGPT) a simple letter stating that my employer authorizes me (name/passport number) to work remotely indefinitely, from abroad including Thailand, my start date and the amount of my salary, sign and stamp from the company

- 6 months of original payslips

- 6 months of translated payslips (English)

Returning to Bangkok (DMK) – No issues.

Before getting the DTV, my visa history was:

- 2024: 2-month visa exemption + 1-month extension (twice in the year)

- 2025: 2-month visa exemption + 1-month extension → Left Thailand for 1 week → Returned with the DTV

If all your document are already in English, less work for you haha.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
