As an online teacher working with a platform, could you please clarify what specific documents or evidence I need to provide to demonstrate my employment status for the Digital Nomad Visa application? Would a certificate or statement from the platform confirming my work and income be sufficient?

Hi everyone, I need some advice.

I'm under an investor visa in the UAE and recently applied under the *Soft Power* route in Dubai. I chose “Business Owner” when filling out the application. I read here that employment verification isn’t required for Soft Power, so I submitted a straightforward application.

They got back to me asking for more documents. I’m the manager of my own company, so I’m wondering:

1. Is a MOA stating I’m the manager enough instead of a contract?

2. I read that some of you created your own employment contracts to yourself. But if you’re a business owner, will this flag you?

3. Can I issue an NOC to myself and also be the authorized signatory?

I know each embassy may have different requirements, but I’d really appreciate hearing what worked for you regardless and if you're someone with the same experience in Dubai.

PS: Of course I will adhere to the requirements and still submit what's requested, I just want to be careful not to cause confusion.

Thanks in advance!

Those of you who applied under workcation for remote worker and had to include paystubs from your employer, on which part of the visa application did you upload those? Do they go in #4 with the bank statements? Or in #5 with the employment contract and employment verification letter?

My husband and I are in US and planning to apply for the DTV visas. I have a couple of questions and hoping this group can answer.

1. My husband works remotely and will continue to work for this company when we move. As a spouse, do I need to wait until he gets his visa in order for me to apply for mine?

2. One of the questions on the application is the address of a location we will be staying in Thailand. We have not been to Thailand yet. Do we need to have a place to live secured before applying for the visa? Could it be a hotel?

3. For the employment verification, do we need to get a letter from the company or would a paycheck stub or an offer letter when he got hired sufficient? He’s been working for this company just over a year.

Thank you in advance.

As a remote employee I don’t have a contract to submit with my application.

My employer did give me an employment verification letter amd a copy of my job description showing that I am a remote worker

Is that sufficient?

It’s not common to have a contract as a regular W2 employee in Florida.

Hi, does anybody have advice for applying for the DTV visa without a letter specifically confirming permission to work remote from Thailand?

I currently work remote as a software engineer but my employer wants to me to convert to an independent contractor before I move to Thailand. They will not write me a letter giving me permission, although I might be able to get an employment verification letter.

I also have a dormant business registered in the US that I'm the owner of. It used to be the business I did consulting from years back, as well as a startup project.

I'm applying through the New York consulate.

success story 1000% due to this group. thanks to everyone for posting and answering questions.

hi, guys. Thank you for the all precious info here!!

But I got an issue. I submitted all the documents I had prepared about 2 weeks ago, but today I got an email for additional documents request. But here I have 2 questions I need you guys' help for.

1. I am not a business owner but they requested "Certificate of Business Registration". I am a free lancer English teacher so I already submitted employment certificates of the companies I am working with and my resume but they are asking this now.

2. I already submitted my resume and the hotel reservation documents but they requested my resume again and"Lease /Rental Agreement with the detailed contents".

for these what should I do?

Those of you that were asked for an In Person Interview, can you please share what you were asked? And the embassy you applied at?

Hi everyone,

I just got a request to submit further documents.

1. I submitted sponsorship letter from employer and bank certificate showing only balance. (I have spendings in EUR, USD and local currency, so bank statements will be in 3 currencies separately if I submit like that). I can also submit only salaries for whatever period, it’s not even specified. I transferred 500000 from savings account to show before applying (Jan 14). Please advice what’s the best approach?

2. I submitted employment certificate and organization registration papers both in English, not sure what to do here.

Any ideas please?

Thanks a lot!
