Hey! I want to return the favor and post my experience applying for DTV visa (I quietly read the posts in here and reddit and then did my thing).
I am a dual citizen (Romanian native + USA), currently in Romania and I applied online based on the Romanian passport + freelance work that I've been doing for the past 5y.
I applied on August 4 and on August 10 I got approved.
My work is mainly for US companies, as a contractor. I merged work related documents into 1: my contractor agreement from 5y ago when I started working with this one company that I still work with, my latest annual review that also states my increased hourly pay rate, and a letter the CFO wrote saying that I have been working with the company since x year, and that I am allowed to work from anywhere, and that they are aware of my intention of working from Thailand and that'k ok with them.
Then, I also merged together money related documents into 1 pdf: my HYSA account screenshot that showed 1 month worth of transactions (and current funds of like $15,300) and account info to show my name on it + 1040 form that shows my total income for 2024.
I was happy the process was so quick and nothing extra was required. The most surprised I was that the email with the announcement and the evisa came on a Sunday afternoon. Yay!
