Right everyone… I’ve been to apply for the DTV visa in Penang, Malaysia…

I have to go to KL to get a stamp from the UK embassy on my employment confirmation letter. For some reason payslips, a contract, and employment confirmation letter isn’t enough.

It must be stamped by a UK embassy or by your company(original document with stamp). I assume this will apply to anyone who is applying is person.

The documents needed are as follows for those applying for the workation option:

-Visa application form (you can fill this out at the embassy)

-Proof of 500,000 THB (I used PayPal statements)

-2 Passport sized photos of yourself

-Employment contract

-Employment confirmation letter with a stamp from your company or home countries embassy.

-Passport

It seems like they are ensuring there is no way people can lie about their employment or whatever with this measure… it’s a logistical nightmare though.

I recommend anyone coming to Malaysia to just apply in Kuala Lumpur as your embassy will likely be located there (check before hand)

I also called them to ask if I can provide any other documents instead of having to go to my embassy and they said no. 🙃
