ORIGINAL POSTER

I’m looking to get a DTV or Smart Visa. I have an old passport and need to get a new one. Would I not qualify cause my new passport is too new? I own a digital web development company.

By smart visa do you mean the boi remote? As the boi smart is for local engagement.

The boi remote worker needs to be employed by a very large company (10s of millions in turnover) or listed on a stock exchange.
