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?

Just got approved about an hour ago! 🥳

From Canada 🇨🇦, workcation

Timeline goes like this:

Sept 7th - Applied

Sept 17th - Received an email saying they will process my application in October for some reason

Sept 18th - They sent an email to my boss asking for employment confirmation

Sept 23rd - DTV approved

I still don’t understand why they told me they were going to process the application in October just to approve it 5 days later but hey i’m not gonna complain that’s for sure 😂🙏

I recently submitted my application in Hanoi. I forgot to add my employers official company registration certificate and LLC papers. I did include the employment contract, attestation letter about how my income is 100% online from the USA and my resume. I do consulting so there is no portfolio to give them. Should I be panicking about those documents not being there? Is there a way to add them post-submission?

Hi everyone! Are you aware whether the Thai embassy/consulate have actually contacted the employer or company to verify the employment contract and other work documents? Just want to prepare in case I need to give my boss or HR a heads up about possible contact. I’ll apply from Frankfurt, Germany. Thanks!

Hello, I’m working at an info tech company as a consultant on a contract basis. I have all documents of hiring, pay slips and all the info required to show proof of employment

My primary question is working as a consultant on a contract basis falls under employment verification or it has to be more of a permanent full time job
