Hi all, I saw some past messages around it but can't find them anymore so sorry for asking what has already been asked.

I'm going to start a new job (remote) and would to apply to workation DVT. I know some embassies rejected such applications because it's a new employment relationship and they want to show 6 months of payslip from the same employer.

This is not a money issue (I have 6 months payslips from my previous employer since I'm jumping from a contract to another, and have the required balance), but just the fact that this is a new contact.

Do you know the position of HCM/Hanoi/PP/Ventiane on this topic? did anybody got a DVT approved in the region with a brand new employment contract?

Thanks

Hi planning to apply from Vietnam not sure which city Hanoi , da nang or Ho Chi Minh whichi ? Thanks for your advice

Guys I am reading the requirements for HCM [members only], and I have a few doubts.

2.2. Photograph taken within the last six months

What kind of photo, same than the photo for the passport? same size?

2.3. Document indicating current location

This is the hotel booking in HCM, for example?

2.4 Document stating purpose of visit:

Is there any template to have a look?

3) in case there is no employment, professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status.

Should my portfolio showcase my entire career, like a resume, or focus only on my work from 2024?

Should my portfolio showcase my entire career, like a resume, or focus only on my work from 2024? I'm asking because, in 2023, I worked as an employee, and this is my first year as a freelancer.

Thanks

Hanoi or HCMC?

Which one is quicker and more convenient to apply DTV?

Any recommendation please’🥹

Applying in Ho Chi Minh City now - is a tax return an essential requirement if you are a remote worker? Or payslips and a letter of confirmation of employment enough.

The admin person at my company are on holiday for a few weeks and I can't find my tax return

Any help would be appreciated

As I need to prepare ahead, what are the best options for flights out of Bangkok for the 180 days in/out strategy? Kuala Lumpur? Ho chi Minh?

hello, just to clarify - with the e-visa system is there any need to visit the embassy in person when submitting the application?

I am applying in Ho Chi Minh City

Is the submission done entirely online, and the only time that you go to the embassy is to have the Visa stamped in your passport if you are approved, or if they invite you for interview for additional information?

Hello, everyone. I applied for my DTV visa, soft power option, in Ho Chi Minh City on Dec 15th. After a week in the city and two further request for more documentation, I was informed that I had to wait for my my multiple entry Tourist Visa to " ...expires, and resubmit again without having to start a new application". Which leads me to my question, should I be in HCMC when I resubmit or do ya'll think I can stay in Japan where I am currently traveling. I have tried e-mailing the embassy before and hadn't gotten a response so I am crowd sourcing the answer. Thank you for any help you can give!
