I got the DTV from Paris in less than 20 days with no additional request! Got a lot of tips from here so I wanted to share:
- I carefully followed the instructions on the Paris embassy website. Each embassy got slightly different requests, just follow them carefully
- Less is more. Don't explain or give more than what they ask, easier for you and for them
Documents shared:
- I'm an auto-entrepreuneur (freelance) I wrote a letter in French + English to explain my activity and shared a link to my website
- Proof of address in France I shared a mobile phone invoice
- Bank statement only showing the correct balance (over 15 000 EUR) no need for 3 months statement etc...
- Proof of registration of my self-employment issued by INSEE in France
- Invoice from one of my client + proof of payment received in my business account
- Screenshot of the “About” page from my website showcasing my activity, including my full name, first name, and photo
It was quick and easy, don't overthink it just provide EXACTLY what they ask at your local embassy!
