For those applying as Digital nomad / self employed with companies set up NOT in your home country (since I don't live there for 6 years). Did you have any questions about it? 

For ex., were they insisting on you showing proof of employment/banking/company docs from the country of your citizenship?

Thanks!

I had no questions asked. Many people live outside of their own country and work for foreign firms.

I agree, that's why the way it is formulated "from their home country" on the website made me question it. Thank you!

It’s the country of residence, not citizenship.

Gotcha. How do people apply from Vietnam then just being on tourist visas? I am not applying from Vietnam but trying to understand the system.

Many embassies allow tourists to apply. You provide details of your hotel and flight into the country.

The docs do not have to be from the country you are applying from (currently residing). I'm British, work and live In Japan and applied in Taiwan. I was approved with work docs from Japan plus bank info from UK and Japan.

Yes, I understand that, I meant if the requested work documents are to be provided from the country of current residence as commentator suggested than how people in Vietnam do it? I was just confused a bit. But I do agree that home country should not really matter unless things seem shady

PositiveTiger1070 it does not have to be from your home country. I don't live in my home country or work for any company from there, I got my DTV and many others similar too.

Thanks, what if I do not live there, not registered there, do not have banking or any relation to it rather than it being my birth country? Did you hear anything about those cases? Thank you

Zero questions in my case, although I personally do consider that country my "home" country, but it isn't my birth country, if that's what you mean.
