To be safe, your soft power should be 7 months.

haha no so my work is online as a combat sports nutritionist ,

And I’m also training in a boxing gym , for 5 months

So I’ve had to write a letter explaining that I’m working online fully with fighters after I’ve finished my boxing camp

And I’ve shown all of my client agreements and proof that I’m working legit and that’s completed it for me

I should have said for soft power. For remote worker (I also got it that way), they only need you to prove you're a remote worker. But if only for courses, some embassies require it to be over six months. It's embassy specific, tho. Some body said they were granted the DTV with a single dental appointment 🤷🏻

Just put the same document as you will upload on the second one. There’re probably word limits. That’s why they have to separate the sentences.

Read second sentence in second document request. They wonder why you applied for dtv with 5 month course and asks additional reason.

Also, November 2025 is 6 months ahead. Why you apply now?

Is it because the course is 5 months? So maybe they want to know why you need a dtv?

The same can be asked of most soft power applications. I suppose the answer should be that you plan to follow it up with further activities.

Yes but with the 5 month course they can give you the multi entry visa for 6 months and there would be no need for the dtv.

Somethimes they also do this with 6 months courses. I also applied for soft power 6 months course yesterday so hope i will get the dtv
