Hey guys! DTV question - I own a company/ am self employed. I have read several posts where people have mentioned they had to provide a letter confirming they work remotely. Since I own the company and am the director, what exactly do I write in this letter? And do I address this to the embassy in question? Thanks in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary
As a self-employed individual applying for a visa, you'll need to write a letter confirming your remote work. It's suggested to address the letter to the specific embassy you're applying to, such as the London Embassy. In the letter, you should describe your company, its operations, and how your role allows you to work remotely. Additionally, obtaining letters from major clients verifying your remote work situation can strengthen your application. Some applicants have also successfully used letters from their accountants and evidence of company registration to support their claims.

You can just get a letter of proof off your accountant. And show evidence of companies house registration ( in the uk) and that’s what you need!

I applied on Friday as freelance. I wrote a cover letter linking my portfolio and wrote a small paragraph explaining what i do. I’ve not had any response yet obviously, but i’m eager to see what response i do get.

If you apply to the London Embassy, they request a letter addressed to them,

People in your position have said they got a major client (or two) to write letters saying they are aware you work remotely and they are comfortable with this
