Could use some advice. I applied to us LA embassy as a freelancer, so I do not have a registered business. I attached a pdf with a cover letter to indicate I am a freelancer. But received the following back:

* Other request documents: Please upload a business registration of the company

* Other request documents: Please describe a business portfolio of the company

* Other request documents: Your recent tax return

* Other request documents: Employment contract or employment certificate from company

* Other request documents: Guarantee letter from the company implies that you work remotely

Majority of my work is with another company that is registered and I have a freelance contract with them. I could also have them easily write me a letter indicating I can work remotely. Would that be the best option moving forward? I am mostly confused about the document "Please describe a business portfolio of the company" as I thought the PDF below would suffice.

I have a remote job (not self employed, regular job). I have pay slips and work contract, but in my country I can’t easily get papers from the official tax authority quickly, and I want to apply soon. Is it possible with just my contract and payslips?

I am gonna apply for workcation, not soft power.

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 🙏

Seeking advice please. Does your employment contract need to state ‘remote’ work for a DTV visa or would ‘home based’ suffice?

Hello guys I own a us llc and a UK LTD I want to apply for dtv visa how can I write myself an employment contract and is it important to get a salary? In the 6 years I own my business I never send myself a salary but just sometimes random amounts of dividends to myself could this be a problem? Is anyone here with a similar situation that got his dtv visa approved? Thank you in advance

Hi all,

The Thai embassy in The Philippines asked me the following thing:

“Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status : Please upload a copy of your company registration in “my home country”, certificates of courses you have attended, and employment certificates from your previous companies as proof of your professional experience.”

However, my business is registered in Estonia as an eResident, as explained in a cover letter and the registration uploaded to the portal and explained. Yet they ask for a registration in my home country now.

Any tips on how to address this properly?

Thanks!

Hi all,

The DTV application document that I found states that my business registration and employment contract have to be authenticated by the embassy of the country where my business is registered. Is the authentication actually necessary?

Hey everyone l’m applying for DTV in tokyo's embassy but l’m only staying there for a work holiday visa. I'm french so my bank account statement is from a french bank and it seems like it's not being accepted by the embassy (They want a statement from japanese bank but i don't have japanese bank account). Also I've been submitted my employment contract but it seems like it's not good. Do you have any advise ? Is there a way to contact the people in charge of my application ?

Hey everyone, I’m currently in Thailand and just got a remote job with an Australian company (starting Monday). I want to apply for the DTV visa, but I’m not sure if my work contract alone is enough or if I need to have been employed for longer. Also, does anyone know which nearby country is best to apply from?

Would appreciate any insights—thanks! 🙏

I'm a business owner (Photography).

Can someone give me an idea of how I should be creating a Employment contract or employment certificate?

If anyone could post theirs that got approved that would be a huge help!
