I am new here, so maybe something similar to my question is asked before...

I wanna get a DTV visa. From my work they wont allow to work abroad. I can get unpaid leave.

But i own 3 buildings which i rent out. Besides that i do some financial business (giving loans) on personal base, no company. Is this enough to get a DTV visa?

Appreciate your reactions

FYI, “Giving loans on a personal basis” sounds like criminal activity unless you have a legitimate loan company. Also, it raises red flags just because it is so unusual. Better not use the loan thing.

Giving loans on a personal basis does not qualify. Only if you have a legitimate loan company might work.

Your situation you just need to go with Muay Thai or cooking classes. This is called soft power option.
