Can you work remotely? Can you prove it? If so then you are a "digital nomad", and you can get the DTV.

Well I am the owner so I can grant myself to work remotely? For proof, can I use my business license? or signed contracts between my agency and clients?

yes

Yep... sounds good to me. Just show them that your company isn't just a dummy. Give them everything you have... they will ask back if something is missing.
