What are the requirements for applying for the DTV workcation visa as a freelance software engineer?
Hi everyone!
I’m a software engineer working as a freelance and I am planning to apply for the DTV workcation visa.
I have 6 months of statements for my freelance account and proof of savings accounts overs 160k CAD (110k USD).
Is that sufficient for the visa application (to prove freelance activity AND financial situation) or is there anything else to improve my luck in the selection process ?
