Hi Guys,

Just got DTV approval (workcation) from the KL Malaysia Embassy today. 🎉

Honestly, the process was a nightmare.

I originally planned to apply in Vietnam, but since I’m staying in Malaysia for a month, I decided to take the risk and apply here instead.

Bank requirement: My 3-month statement didn’t show 500k THB consistently. I only had 1 month with over 600k THB. However, my account is very active, with deposits/spending.

Certified statement issue: The embassy requested a certified bank statement. Since Thai banks don’t provide this online and I couldn’t physically return to Thailand, I submitted what I had. As a backup, I requested a bank reference letter.

Employment contract: They required an embassy-authenticated employment contract. Instead, I provided my remote-work employment contract signed via DocuSign, along with the Singapore business profile of the company I work for.

Proof of Income issue: My income is in stable fiat, not shown directly in the Thai account. I could only show conversions into THB. So I attached my Binance statement to support this.

Proof of residence: I submitted my Thai condo contract, which is still valid, as evidence since I’ve been living in Thailand.

Here’s a quick breakdown of my experience:

The timeline was 15 business days, excluding 2 embassy holidays during the process.

Submitted: Aug 26 (Tue)

First document request: Aug 29 (Fri)

• Full passport (all pages, incl. empty)

• Malaysia entry stamp/PR pass

• Job explanation + relation to DTV/digital nomad

• Portfolio or job presentation

• Company registration/business license (embassy authenticated)

• Employment contract/certificate (embassy authenticated)

• Salary slips (last 6 months)

• Personal bank statement (3 months, 500k THB, certified)

• Proof of residence in Thailand (6 months+, lease, etc.)

Additional document request: Sept 3 (Wed)

• Financial proof (500k THB balance) → highlight salary income in statement

• Other income sources?

Additional question: Sept 10 (Wed)

• Why apply in KL instead of Singapore?

Approved: Sept 17 (Wed) ✅

I hope this helps anyone who is planning to apply in Malaysia. Let me know if you have any questions!

Dear DTV Group,

im still waiting for my approval in KL.

Got asked for translated company documents and bank statements with my name on them.

everything handed in during last week.

Aswell as the request for the 6 Month Proof: of prolonged residence in Thailand for at least 6 months, such as a condominium rental agreement, lease agreement etc.

I made 2 90 days booking in a hotel and im curious, if there are any positive expirience with that in KL.

Since they are so strict, im scared.

And no my Name is not Ugur, its Simon and im from Germany.

High payd professionell with all proves and finacial stabilty...

Just in case, if they dont accept that i dont know what to do anymore.

Because signing and paying for a house or condo upfront, without ever visiting it is so much to ask for...

Applying for non-IB visa as i will be working with Thai company. Started the e-visa application through Malaysia embassy but have now been advised that i need to have an entry stamp to even start the application (new information to the company who is helping with the application and said i could apply first and then when approved, just fly in/out and get my visa stamp).

The other options were Laos or Vietnam. Does anyone have a recent experience for this visa type with these embassies that can advise if you can submit the application remotely?

I currently live in Phuket on an ED visa that expires in a couple of months

Planning on getting an ED visa from KL in a few weeks. Does anyone have any reports on how smooth/quick the process is there and if there is usually long queues at the embassy. Im also interested in how strictly the requirements are enforced, particularly the "Certified criminal record in the applicant’s country of origin", and whether such a criminal record certificate has to come from my country of origin, the UK, as opposed to my country of residence, Thailand? Getting one in Thailand will naturally be significantly easier than the UK, but not having to get one at all will be easier still.
