DTV Visa Munich approved

Visa fee: 350€

Processing time: 8 days

Applied for workcation as an IT freelancer.

Submitted documents:

- Passport

- Bank statement (1 month) showing required balance

- Picture

- Residence certificate since my national id card is expired

- Tax registration as freelancer

Before submitting i properly cancelled my ED visa and flew back to Germany and applied immediately after my return. 4 days later, consulate requested an employment contract or certificate as additional documents. However, I replied iβ€˜m a freelancer, resubmitted tax registration and 2 purchase orders from my customers (3 month contracts). Another 4 days later i got approved without any further questions.

Thanks for all the information provided on this page and good luck everyone πŸ‘

I had an ED visa for studying thai language. You can reach out to any language school such as Duke, ALA, Rak Thai,…to support you in the process
