ORIGINAL POSTER
APPROVAL UK LONDON EBASSY

Hi All,

I have just received my DTV for remote working approval. This group has provided some amazing reassurance and information for my application. So please any questions pop them in.

19.02 (Wednesday) I applied to the London Embassy online.

I submitted:

* Motivation letter, saying I have visited many times and love the culture/country. I wish to visit more Thai islands.

* Fairly detailed portfolio, with evidence of work documents.

* invoices

* Driving license

* A statement of 500,000 baht, the money had only been in the account 10 days with little transactions on the account. The bank statement was also one from the bank branch with a bank manager stamp as I couldn't wait for an updated one by mail.

* Additionally a separate ISA account balance

* Proof of accommodation, and rental contract

* Linkedin profile, UpWork profile

Afternoon of the 19th request for documents:

* A letter explaining my job role and confirming that I will abide by Thai law and not work in Thailand. (My original motivation letter did include this, but I submitted another very clearly stating that I understand Thai law and the DTV working conditions)

* My recent Tax return

20th (Thursday) request for documents:

* A plane ticket to Thailand from London, United Kingdom

24th (Monday) Approved and Visa Sent by Email.

Very easy process all in all!

Wondering why they asked for a plane ticket in their second request for documents...
