Answer summary

A user recently shared their experience of obtaining a DTV visa as a business owner through the Sydney consulate, having submitted their application on November 21 and receiving approval on December 1. They provided details on required documentation, including proof of location through a driver's license, a two-month bank statement, an employment contract, company registration, and a cover letter.

Other users are asking for clarification on employment contracts for business owners, proof of income requirements, and whether documents were submitted in person or online.

A question please. As the business owner did you write your own employment contract and what did you state in it if you don’t mind me asking? I am in a similar situation where I own / am director of the business but I don’t actually have an employment contract as such (ie no contract with myself). Besides bank statements was proof of income documentation required? I know you didn’t mention that above but just checking. Thanks in advance.

hey mate yes, I wrote an employment contract from my pty Ltd company to myself as director and signed by the director (myself) - it stated my role as director and what I do etc specifically for my business - also states paid in dividends on profit 2 times a year and that all the specific responsibilities can be managed remotely + just generic employment contract stuff. Proof of income wasn’t required, I also wrote a cover letter. In there I also put links to both websites I own incase they want to check that. Good luck 🤙

I have a question. Does the bank account statement have to show income or just that you have had the required amount for the visa? I am going to apply for DTV in Oz and am going to use my bank account that has the required money in, but l don't transact from it. My pay etc goes into a different account. Thanks!

just at least the required amount from my experience, I heard other people being asked for proof of earnings recently in other posts. I just made sure everything I sent was in order and not sloppy looking but for me the account statement I sent also is not where my money comes in and out business wise/earnings. Good luck 👍
