What's the equivalent of DTV for Vietnam? No work, just savings

Appreciate your response. I have just resigned from my job in Bangkok. I was living here since last 5 years with base salary per month in excess of 200k bath per month so I have significant savings in thai bank account.

I want to register a new company in my country and apply and come here on DTV. but since this is new company there are no clients or income as its first time i do start a company. will my professional exp. of 15yrs in same field as IT consultancy with significant saving give me the visa?

Approved today 25mars

Hey all, hypothetical questions here.

When you DTV expires after the 5 years what are your options to stay more long term?

Thanks

🙏🏻

I will be applying for my DTV in June under my LLC. (content creator and Trading) I have a website. I know i will need to show my business formation papers and a letter stating that I can work remotely etc. My best friend will be moving to Thailand as well. She will be applying for a DTV under my company. Do I need to establish a employment contract for her, as well as the letter stating that she will be working remotely under the company? Any helpful tips and suggestions is greatly appreciated

Hello, please help 🙏

I’m a bit confused about how to state my employment status in the DTV application.

I previously worked in Thailand under a Business Visa, but that visa has already been cancelled long ago and I am no longer working in Thailand.

I’m now applying for DTV under Soft Power.

At the moment, I don’t have a full-time job.

I may receive occasional freelance payments, but it’s not regular income.

I do have sufficient savings from my previous jobs and personal savings and can meet the financial requirement with bank statements.

In this case, is it better to state my status as “unemployed” or “freelancer”?

I’m asking because if I choose freelancer, I’m worried they might question why I’m not applying under the Remote Worker category instead.

Anyone with similar experience, I’d really appreciate your advice. Thank you! 🙏

Approved in 5 business days (Canberra Australia Embassy)

Applied & paid on the 18th of Jan. Workcation, I run a business.

Asked for extra docs twice a few days after applying (basic proof of my business and updated bank statements)

I think my mistake was applying with my business bank instead of personal by accident since that's where I kept my funds.

Pending approval this morning and approved this afternoon! Grateful

Good day all. Looking for some constructive advise, assistance / referral. In 2025, I visited Thailand a number of times using it as my base whilst conducting mainly business visits in Asia. I visited eight times and stayed over 120 days. Now that the rules have changed, due to the accrued time from last year, I don’t think I have any chance of getting a standard Visa. As I don’t know what my movements will be in the next 6 to 12 months, I want to get myself a six or 12 month Visa, but I don’t have the required amounts of funds sat in my bank account for the time period that either the six or 12 month Visa requires.

I’ve seen people post that they have been able to secure the six or 12 month Visa using a company that puts the money into your account for a period of time whilst the Visa process is completed. Is this actually a thing?

If so, I’m interested to find out more and be introduced to an established and trustworthy business/ agent that can take care of this.

Thanks very much in advance for your assistance and advice 🙏🏼
