I’m planning to reapply for the DTV visa after being rejected more than 6 months ago (the previous application was for a boxing course, submitted through an agent). This time I’m applying based on remote work, and I’m do everything by myself here in Vietnam.

Documents I currently have:

• Signed employment agreement (in English)

• Letter from my employer (in English) confirming that my job is fully remote and that all clients are from my home country

• 6 translated payslips (translated by myself in Word) – my monthly salary is around 1,500 USD

• Original payslips (local language)

• 6-month bank statement (downloaded from my bank’s website in English, with a stable positive balance of around 700,000 THB during the entire period)

• Employer’s business registration certificate

Before I submit the application, I want to make sure I’m fully prepared:

• Do I need any additional documents?

• Do any of these documents need to be notarized?

• Is there anything else that you recommend adding?

• Should I include a short personal background letter? If anyone has an example, it would be very helpful.

Thank you very much in advance!

Currently doing my DTV with workaction.

I got a request to send "employment letter with detail of describe how it is your job to be for remote worker".

Here is the thing, my work thinks i'm going to do remote work from somewhere in Europe. I don't want to mention Thailand, because of envy and other reasons that will complicate my position.

Do the visa workers usually call in to your work to confirm the remote work?

hello! is monthly dividend from cd account can me presented as income?

Hello, I am applying as a freelance for workcation category of DTV in Laos. I hold an ASEAN passport and I also got my visa on arrival which allows me to stay in Laos on for 1 month. I was wondering if I could get some sample interview questions so that I could practice it ahead of time. Thank you very muchh.

My application was approved, and I'm posting this as a reference for those applying through the embassy in Mexico City.

I decided to apply in my own country instead of going to a country in Southeast Asia because that way I avoid translations and misunderstandings in my documents, as well as unnecessary reviews.

Category: Workcation.

Application started on October 20th

Request for extra documents: October 21st (An extra ID in addition to the passport) as proof of current location.

Application accepted October 24th.

The documents were organized as follows:

FINANCIAL EVIDENCE

- 3 last work payslips

- 3 bank statements with + 500k baht

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT

- Resume

- Employment contract

- Job Letter (stating that "I can work remotely from Thailand")

- Personal Letter Explaining My work

- 3 samples of my work (Portfolio)

CURRENT LOCATION

- Covering letter (Stating that I will follow all the rules established by the Kingdom of Thailand regarding the DTV)

- Passport scan (all pages)

I will answer any specific questions that applicants at this embassy may have. Cheers

Update: I submitted the document they asked for today and I just got it approved.

Hello, I am currently in Hanoi and submitted my documents for the DTV visa. But they have requested supporting documents. I work as a online E-Commerce manager for a UK company and already submitted my contract with the company I am working for including several term changes where salary increases are stated.

What should I give them now?

- resume?

- screenshots from Shopify, Klaviyo and GA?

- work mail?

- registration is visible online on the gov.uk site would this be sufficient?

*Support Document*

*1 . Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status (Business registration of company you're currently working with. *

Not really looking to spend much longer here in Hanoi.

Many thanks!

Hi! I'm unfortunately applying from KL. 2 questions about the Certificate of Employment:

1. What to include: other than the basics from a template is there something KL is going to require?

2. I'm US citizen for a US company, do I need to bring the docs to US embassy in KL to certified them? Anyone has any experience doing so?

Can anyone recommend a visa agent that has experience with KL?

Thank you so much and please wish me luck! 🥲

Application in HCMC

I got sent the following requests.

Although, I already submitted them already in the original files.

Is it because the bank account I submitted does not match the account I receive my pay? The account I receive my pay does not have 500k is this a problem?

The company I've been exclusively contracting for the past five years doesn't use/have a letterhead, they're also not very responsive to getting the business registration document either. It's a Japanese company - my boss is willing to sign a letter but without the letterhead it looks so unofficial.

Any advice? Is my 'employment' document looking a bit weak? I don't have payslips either. I have contracts, invoices, and receive a monthly bank transfer.

The ironic thing is I've never even lived in Japan and have been working remotely the entire time already. The idea of asking for permission to do something I've already been doing for half a decade is kind of crazy.

Hello! Do I NEED to have payslips for the dtv?
