ORIGINAL POSTER
DTV (freelance) application approved ✅

I haven’t read of any freelancers applying, mainly remote workers and soft power so thought i’d share my experience.

Friday 16th. application sent with following evidence

- Passport photo

- Photo of actual passport

- Bank statement showing current address in the UK

- The same bank statement to show proof of funds

- Pdf document with links to my “professional portfolio”

Monday 19th.

Application status update.

Additional info required.

- Professional portfolio links supplied not working, please provide alternative

- Self assessment tax return / Statement of accounts / Accountant's letter / Personal tax calculation or computation statement from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)

Additional info supplied

- Pdf document with screenshots of portfolio instead of links

- Pdf document with cover letter explaining what i do as a freelancer and proof of where my funds came from (house sale)

Tuesday 20th - visa approved

Worth mentioning that i’m a British Citizen and currently in the UK so went through the London consulate.

so you didnt need to upload any tax returns, just proof of where your money came from (house sale)?
