I’m hoping - the current company project is new and we won’t issue contracts until next year so no revenue yet 😱

Update, less than 24 hours later the embassy has come back asking for the following.

Document indicating current location: Regarding to your location, please provide hotel booking in Vietnam. All documents must be in English/Thai.

Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter : Please submit the transactions latest 6 months and the account balance totaling not less than 500,000baht.

Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status : ** Please provide more information about your current job such as contact agreement, cv, additionally, if you have any receipt proven your related project it is recommended to attach with main document.

I have provided 6 months of bank statements, my cv and letter attesting myself as the sole proprietor and working from anywhere, and list of clients (although we do not have financial contracts in place yet so no revenue 🤞

Even if you have adequate funds??

I’m going to apply there tomorrow and been reading about hcmc vs Hanoi

Hcmc or Hanoi?

Doesn’t that completely defeat the entire purpose of the DTV?

I suspect you’d have to do the trading under your own company and some embassies may want to see predictable results with an income statement etc (which is a challenge in any type of trading, especially speculative ones)

@Ray ****

I’ve mailed a number of Thai embassies early on, they never reply…

Most online systems don’t list every country that existed. They get a list of current countries from a database. People who were born in Leipzig don’t put “East Germany” as their birthplace either.

Just put Town/oblast/Russia

Once again - don’t use an agent for DTV. If costs you more time, more money and more complications. Why one earth would you do this??
