ORIGINAL POSTERI do graphic design for various companies which I can do anywhere. I don't work for a specific employer. Any recommendations on how to get an employment letter that is needed for the DTV Visa?
TLDR : Answer Summary
As a freelance graphic designer, obtaining an employment letter for the DTV Visa can be challenging. Recommendations include asking a client for a letter confirming your services, reaching out to your embassy to see if previous contracts or invoices could suffice, or even drafting a letter yourself. Additionally, consider preparing a cover letter and portfolio to present to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as you are not technically employed by any company.

An employment letter is if you work for a company, but you don't, you're a freelancer. Suggest you put on your thinking cap and prepare yourself to write a cover letter to present yourself and your portfolio to the Ministry of Foreign affairs for your DTV Visa.

Reach out to one of your clients and have them send you an employment contract. Just tell them it's for visa reasons. If you're close, it shouldn't be an issue

Write one to yourself. Do you have a business?

You can ask one of your clients for a letter detailing use of your services.

Did you try asking your embassy if previous invoices and contracts would work? Are you a freelancer on any platform? It’d also work
