I enquired but I don’t think it’s possible, you can’t show income or your own business. Although I’m rich in digital world I can’t use it in the real world 🤣 but would love to hear from other people if they managed. I just asked an agent FYI didn’t go to deep into it as I ended up getting a business visa in the end.

You’re confusing assets with income. A change in trading account balance is not income. If you move money monthly to your business account and can show regular deposits, that’s income and they’ll allow it for DTV.Reed **********

remote workers working for their own company/llc IS allowed

assets, they will wonder how you could support yourself
