I trade the currency market for my income. I also have a website selling and managing AI. I heard we shouldnt say that our remote work is via trading. Any recommendations on the type of work I need to list? Can i just say content creator and show a link to my website and youtbube channel?
Answer summary
The discussion centers around the challenges of declaring remote work activities, particularly in trading for income, within the context of visa regulations. Users suggest that online trading may be acceptable as long as proof of stable income and tax compliance can be demonstrated. Recommendations include possibly listing oneself as a content creator, linking to a personal website and YouTube channel for transparency.

The trading should be no problem as long as you can show you generate a stable income with it and you pay taxes on the profits.

Otherwise it migh be getting difficult.

Where did you hear trading is not allowed for the DTV ? Online traders have been approved for the DTV and their posts are in the threads.
