Hey everyone, I want to share my DTV process

Soft Power ( for Me-Muy Thai) gym in Bkk

(My partner-Thai cooking classes)

No agent needed

My partner and I applied at HCMC on Jan 29 with a return ticket to Thailand on Feb 10 😳 We didn’t realize that offices would be closed for the Lunar New Year Holiday and would reopen on Feb 3.

This posed an obvious issue

1. When applying for a Vietnam Visa we used our flight dates expecting to leave on the 10th.

After reading comments in the group, we accepted the fact that a possible delay would cause us to extend our visas in Vietnam and possibly purchase additional flights back to Thailand at a later date.

We remained hopeful and watched our status daily.

Timeline:

Jan 29th -Applications submitted

Feb 5th - I was approved at 2:50pm with no request for additional documents

However my partner needed to submit additional documents (6 months of bank statements, which was already submitted originally) sometimes this happens, just resubmit

Documents re-submitted same day

After submitting additional statements

Feb 6th- my partner receive “pending approval“ then later approved

This process took 3 business days! 🙌🏾

Thank you for all the information/support in this group!

Pretty straight forward, applied for workcation as a Director of company(registered with investment commission)

Just ask me what I'll be doing which my answer was managing my company from here and probably travel around thailand. Paid the fees and got back in two days.

- company annual tax return (notarized)

- company letter detailing my work addressed to Ambassador with stamp and seal

- bank statement 4 months (loads of transaction)

- Company Registration

- Company List of Shareholders

- passport copies

If you are a director/BOD of registered company, you don't need that much of documents apart from having a strong bank statement. Good luck 🙌

How is the DTV process going to change once it switches to e-visa? It sounds like it would be easier but with a closer look it seems like you have to apply from your home country. Anyone have any information about the e-visa? For example, I called Jakarta embassy and they said they will not accept in person appointments starting in October.
