I got my DTV (workation) in Phnom Penh. Thanks to all the people who posted here who gave useful information.

I didn't overdo the requirements. Just submitted the following:

1. Current bank statement

2. Entry stamp

3. Letter explaining my work (I am an online ESL teacher. [No company])

4. Screenshots of the lessons I conducted with my current students. (My students are not from Thailand.)

5. Screenshot of my LinkedIn profile.

I submitted the application on Feb 4 and received an email at around 22:00 on Feb 17.

I'm from the UK but haven't lived there for many years. I have been working abroad and travelling non stop for over ten years. I'm currently in Thailand on a tourist visa. What's the easiest way to go about applying for the DTV? I have enough in the bank and do not want to have to go back to the UK if I can avoid it.

Are there any differences in doing it from Laos or Cambodia?

A rough timeframe?

I work for an online teaching company. Is it better to state that, or to say I'm going to have Muay Thai classes (which I am, in fact)?

Cheers all!

HCMC Embassy:

DTV visa granted (Digital Nomad category)

*Please note that this embassy has no more online appointments and I have been told they are moving to Evisa in October, but...

This was such an incredibly easy process.

I submitted:

-Application form filled in with photo attached (to save time, have it stuck on already)

-6 months bank statements showing more than 500,000 Baht

-Cover letter introducing how I make money online (I have an online teaching brand and sell digital courses / consulting)

-Resume

-Screenshots of website, YT channel and digital offers.

-Stripe transitions for August/ Sept 2024

-2 Invoices from clients

-Lease in Bangkok

-HCMC airbnb booking

-$340 (exact change)

They took everything, so not sure if I over-submitted or not.

The only hiccup was the USD cash. I had "new" notes but they weren't new enough. I had to take a grab bike to their recommended exchange shop where they easily switched my USD for newer bills for a charge of about 100k Dong for Each $100. If in doubt, just go to the exchange place and double check. The guy who helped me knew exactly what I needed and could tell which bills would be accepted or not.

The turnaround was exactly 2 days and I spent less than 30 minutes there to submit and less than 1 minute to pick up.

Good luck to everyone! This visa is definitely too good to be true, so a good idea to get it if/before anything changes.
