To anybody who applied for DTV in Kuala Lumpur, have you been able to pass it without fulfilling those requirements and if so, how you managed to do that? My case: no relevant embassy in Malaysia and unable to proceed.

Hey yall with the money in the bank requirement. I have it but it’s in investment accounts. Do I have to pull my money out to season it in a checking account for 3 months? Before applying or can I just show them an investment account?

I just got approved for my DTV as a UK Limited Company owner.

Yep, at 10pm on a Bank Holiday.

I wanted to share my experience as I couldn't find many others in my situation. It took 6 working days (if we count today as a working day) to be processed and approved by the London Embassy.

In my initial application I sent:

1. A covering letter explaining my relationship to Thailand (recent holiday there), why I wanted to workcation there, and why it would benefit Thailand. I also confirmed that neither me nor my company would undertake work for or with Thai businesses or Thai people while there.

2. Passport photo page

3. A phone selfie taken on the day of the application

4. A headed letter from my company, in my capacity as Director, addressed to me, confirming that the company permits me to work remotely in Thailand for the duration of my visa. It also confirmed my duties.

5. Certificate of Incorporation

6. Driving license as proof of address

7. Screenshot from Companies House showing my appointment as Director

8. A personal bank statement showing £14,500 funds. It was a new savings account opened a few days before the application, and I transferred £14,500 to it the day of the application.

The morning after submitting the application I received the "Request for Further document" email.

They asked for:

1. Photograph taken within the last six months

2. Other request documents: - Your Professional portfolio or Your company description or Employment contract / Contract agreement.

There must have been something wrong with the first photo (it didn't show much of my shoulders) so I sent a new one.

I also sent another headed letter from the company describing the nature of the business, as well as providing a small portfolio of work.

5 working days later I got the approval email.

Pretty easy.

Hello to the group,

I would like to know if it is still possible to apply to a non-immigrant O visa directly at the embassy (Kuala Lumpur for instance), or if the only way is to use the e-visa platform.

Thanks in advance for your feedbacks.

Hi all, regarding "document indicating current location", I assume that means a utility bill/bank statement or something similar? I don't have anything with a proof of address as I dont have a permanent address. Does that immediately disquailfy me from applying?

I went to the Amphur’s office today to request a “Single Status Certificate” needed for the K-1 visa interview. They couldn’t help or didn’t seem to know how to create one. Does anyone know what is needed and where I can get one of these certificates.

Hey everyone, I have a UK passport, I work for a UK company, pay tax in UK, am registered to live and vote in the same address in UK as my bank account is registered at (one of my parent's house). Should I apply at the UK embassy? I am based variously around SE Asia. Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam usually. Is it better to apply in my home country or in the country I'm actually in? . Please just be Kreng jai and Jai yen in your answers 🙏🏻 Khob khun krap

I’ve noticed applying at other embassies seems to be the norm. I’m curious as to whether we can apply with our home countries embassy while abroad? Do we need to apply with Vietnam just because we’re there? I got mine before my wife as she was unsure which visa she wanted but now we’re here already for some time and need to leave soon and get hers sorted out. So my question is this : why does everyone apply with the embassy of where they are visiting?

Can anyone who’s done the freelance workcation DTV process themselves help/ direct message me?

1. For the ฿500,000 That is required to show on your bank statement does it have to be on your bank statements for multiple months or can you just read on one month?

1. Since Im currently in Thailand is it easier to go to Vietnam to apply and if so, Do I need to go to the embassy in Vietnam for any part of the DTV application process? which hotels did you all stay?

1. For DTV freelancers what important information with our portfolio or proof of work is essential to show in the application?

A copy of a recent saving or checking bank statement for the last three months with an ending balance of no less than 500,000 THB or ($16,000 USD)

Is this just to see if youve had a bank account for 3 months, OR, Do u need to have $16K in the account for 3 months.

Can somebody please verify? This could put off my trip for a while. Im in the USA btw....😕

thx zimmyjim
