DTV approved just now! Canberra, Australia Consulate.

Thank you to a few anonymous posters for their advice, I was considering just using an agent and doing the soft power route even though I am self employed - until reading their posts and I am very glad I did it myself! Super super easy. Had everything ready before I started (took me maybe an hour to prepare) and uploaded and submitted the application within 30 mins.

Type - Business Owner/director

Submitted: 12th Feb

Additional documents requested: 14th Feb they asked for proof of financials of the 500k thb, strangely I had already uploaded 2 different screenshots including a bank statement, but it seems they preferred a proof of balance letter from my bank which only showed the amount on that date, in AUD. I also showed well over the 500k minimum on all 3 screenshots.

Approved: 19th Feb at 5pm

Proof of location: Australian drivers license

Paperwork: Cover letter + employment contract from me to myself, signed only by me, proof of balance letter from bank, THB to AUD conversion rate screenshot, ASIC business extract

Flight number: Flight number into bkk in 2 weeks, no exit flight

I want to apply for a Digital Nomad DTV Visa on 26th February at the Vientiane Embassy in Laos. My occupation is Business Owner, so I would like to know which documents I need to provide. I’ve noticed in this group that the embassy sometimes asks for additional documents, like a contract agreement or a work contract (B2B). Could you kindly clarify?

DTV Visa Approved From Australia in 10 Days!

Hopefully this can help someone, I will go through my process.

1. 11:00 pm 20th January Applied for Visa directly through the official [members only]/ website and selected the correct thai embassy for my local Australian region.

2. 10am 21st January "document check pending"

- I sent the same photo as my passport which is a few years old.

they asked for a more recent photo taken within the last 6 months.

Took a quick basic photo with my phone with a white backround.

3. 28th January Status moved to "Pending Approval"

4. 29th January Approved

I own my own Australian company and I am the sole owner.

* Provided a 1 page cover letter explaining what I do in my business and screenshots of business payments such as Stripe and affiliate marketing.

* Provided the official ASIC business company extract current and historical. This was $20 from the government website and outlines who owns the company, who are the shareholders etc.

* I asked my accountant to create me a 6 month income statement showing my earnings from this financial year July 01 2024 - December 31 2024.

* Bank statement showing 500,000 bhat equivalent, I transferred the final 400,000 bhat into my account only hours before applying and showed 3 months of official bank statements where basically the balance was always well below 500,000.

* Current Photo

Approved via workcation through USA embassy as a business owner.

Took over 30 calendar days and 25 working days even though I was pending approval 24 hours after application. The embassy website stated less than 20 working days and mine took longer. I ended up emailing them a gentle reminder/request and it got approved within 48 hours.

Hi everyone.

I'm considering applying for a DTV for a workation as a business owner and have a few questions:

1. I haven't booked my flight tickets yet. Can I provide the flight number I'm planning to book, or do you require confirmed tickets? Is it acceptable if I end up booking a different flight later?

2. I intend to stay for over 100 days. My plan is to book a hotel for the first 5 days and then arrange alternative accommodation for the remainder of my stay. Is it okay to only provide information for the initial hotel? Additionally, since I don't have a hotel reservation yet, is that a necessary requirement?

Thank you!

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I have had a request of documents for my DTV.

1) a bank statement with the 500k baht ( which i sent in my original documents)

But will send again

2) business license ( which I also sent my 2024 and 2025 in my original documents) but will send again

Not sure why I have to send them when I sent them already but whatever

3) upload proof or remote work

- this is the one I need the help with, I already sent a cover letter explaining what I do ( I’m a residential Cleaning company owner) I have employees and I have a manager that runs my business, anything I do for my business I do remotely such as social media marketing, payroll, speaking with clients ( when needed and my manager can’t) scheduling etc. I put this all in my cover letter to them along with links to all my social media pages etc , what can I send them as proof of remote work with my name on it like they are requesting

Please help

I got the DTV in HCMC as a business owner with no additional docs request!! (timeline + paperwork below)

First i want to thank everyone in the group for the collective info. You guys are awesome!

Timeline:

03/12 - Arrived in Ho chi minh at night

04/12 - Visa app sent at 6:44am

09/12 - Went into pending approval around 7pm

11/12 - Approval email at 6:24pm

* 04/12 - 11/12 - I stressed myself to the gills waiting for the verdict 😂 *

Docs submitted:

* Picture of vietnam entry stamp, hotel receipt, hotel booking, and screentshot of the official email from my hotel with the receipt and hotel contact info on it just in case

* Cover letter listing why I want to live in thailand, why I like the country, etc.

* Business approval to work in thailand given by my company to me

* Business registration with my home state in the US

* Two client contracts with names redacted

* 6 month bank statements showing over 500k baht

* Screenshots of website, youtube channel, and FB business page

* Brief explanation of my business (I am a marketing consultant)

I used a pdf merging site to combine all the docs for the respective questions.

My best recommendation is to use canva for the raw pdfs as it allows you to create a multiple page pdf by default so you can skip some of the more tedious merging.

If you have any questions, let me know

‼️TRIPLE CHECK YOUR ANSWERS AND DO NOT USE AUTOFILL FOR ANYTHING ON THE APP‼️

I even had a friend proofread my basic info like passport and DOB to be ultra sure

Good luck everyone!

DTV approved yesterday. Sydney, Australia Consulate.

Type - Business Owner/director

Submitted: 21 November

Approved: 1st Dec

Proof of location: drivers license

Paperwork: 2 month bank statement + employment contract + company registration document + cover letter

Flight number: flight No. of my flight from Sydney to bkk in January

No additional documents requested.

Feel free to ask any additional questions.

Applying from Australia online. I got a request for more information. " Show employment contract". I actually own the business and am working remote. I submitted my portfolio ( just a bio of what I do), but they are still asking for more information.

Any ideas what they want?

Just applied for my DTV visa at a Thai embassy (walk-in) as a business owner with a few LLCs in the U.S. They accepted the documents I provided and will be picking it up 5 days from now.

UPDATE: Apprently, I’m “supposed” to provide details otherwise I’m just flexing LOL

I went to a Thai embassy that offers walk-in or advanced appointment so I know precisely when and what time to pick up my passport.

I have a business and to increase my chances, I printed a lot of documents which was about 70 pages.
