What Should I Choose for My Occupation on the DTV Visa: Freelance or Business Owner?
question about workcation dtv visa (Embassy The Hague Netherlands)
I am registered as self employed but have 1 client who pays me recurring and has a contract with me. For Occupation, should I choose "freelance" or "business owner"
What should I do for "Accommodation in Thailand"? Can I just do a hotel for 6 days that I haven't booked yet?
I saw mixed opinions here saying that an Airbnb is needed for 1 month.
Does the hotel date need to match with the intended date of arrival / departure?
Can I do "No" for Additional accommodation in Thailand even though the hotel is for a couple of days ?

Not sure if they will ask for kamer van koophandel details as a freelancer but they do for employees and may also for business owners.
You probably fit more in the freelancer category but that's just me guessing.

Some do , some don't...go onto booking dot com and look for a hotel that you can pay on arrival. That way you can cancel it after you get your DTV if you don't want it.

I named a booking for 30 nights, didn’t submit proof and they didn’t ask anything about it
After that ‘no’ for additional accommodation, it was fine
(Also The Hague)
