hello everyone,

i would like to apply for a DTV visa in the next couple of months.

i meet all the financial requirements.

i study at an online university and receive my full salary from my former employer. 

is that "showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent of freelancer status" ?

The original poster inquires about the possibility of applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) while studying at an online university and receiving a salary from a former employer. Commenters suggest that merely being an online student may not qualify for a DTV and raise questions about the validity of their work status.
