Applied for DTV recently as Digital Nomad, but I was asked about providing Letter of Confirmation stating that the applicant is permitted to work remotely … signed by authorized person and bear the official company seal.

I have my own one person company providing consultancy. Should I authorize myself? I don’t have a seal as I’m fully digital. What kind of document do they exactly ask for? Does anyone know?

Thanks from the mountain

Hi. I applied to DTV visa with my UK company (i am the only owner). I submitted personal bank account statement from another country. I am in Laos Vientiane now.

They asked me to submit some extra documents: my employment contract and my portfolio.

What dociments exactly shall I bring?

1. Shall I sign an employment contract with a company that I am working with for long time like a client or just show my UK company again (I had submitted Certificate of incorporation and MoA but they needed the extra documents) or sign an employment contract as uk company owner with myself as working for my own uk company?

2. What portfolio do I need to submit?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi all,

I am teaching business English on Preply, an online English language teaching platform. Has anyone any experience setting up in Thailand a self employed company?

Trying to find out whats the best way forward:

I've been in thailand for 5 months (1 visa run with short overstay). Tried to open a company and get a wp but got scammed (hence the overstay).

im considering going for a few months to bali, applying there and coming back on DTV.

i have the money in the bank, but my income is very unstable as i do some group coaching twice a year and thats where most of my income comes from

i have my own company, could pay myself a salary

any advice or things i should read on? would be greatly appreciated. im a south american national but also have european passport if it makes any difference.

Hello everyone,

I am self employed in Germany and have a "company registration" (Gewerbeschein). As far as i understood everything, i should be eligible to apply for a DTV. Does anyone know if it might be possible for me to hire my partner on a small income (450€ Minijob) to make her also eligible to apply for a DTV?

Thank you in advance :)

Hi I think I need an accountants letter( won’t be able to provide a tax return for when I want to apply) and am planning to apply through the London embassy. Does anyone know of any reputable accountants. Not really familiar with any if this sort of thing as this is the first time I will be self-employed. If anyone could direct me on what to look for online would be helpful. Thanks

Hello,

Hey guys - for those of you who have more complex circumstances such as being freelancers...

and have included additional documentation like cover letters and tables of contents to strengthen your application in a merged PDF file...

Which section of the supporting documentation box did you upload this to? The financial evidence part or the  employment evidence part?

Thanks in advance 🙏
