Hello all....
I'll be applying for the DTV from Vietnam next week and have a few questions about the process.
I have worked abroad for a long time and have moved around an awful lot so I haven't been liable to pay tax anywhere. I have read that many folks are being asked to provide tax returns.
Has anyone successfully applied for and been granted the DTV without being asked for evidence of paying tax? I, of course have the funds in the bank and have done so for at least six months.
I am an English tutor that works online and is self-employed.
Would it be better for me to mention up-front on my cover letter that I am unable to provide evidence of tax returns, or is it best to wait for them to ask? Does it usually slow the process down?
I'd appreciate any info.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is preparing to apply for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) from Vietnam and inquires about the tax return requirement, expressing concerns about not being tax liable in any country. They seek advice on whether to disclose this situation in their cover letter or to wait for the embassy to request this information. There's also a reminder from a commenter regarding the embassy's holiday closure during the Tet New Year.
