Not sure about the documents I should prepare so I have some questions for 2 ways of doing it..

1) Would new business/individual activity registration and freelance portfolio be enough? Assuming I don’t have any tax returns, because it is new business.

2) Normal contract, no freelancer contract, where it is stated, that I can work remotely. Or do I also need to provide additional document from company, that I can work remotely?

Thank you 🙏

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.

Hi.

2 questions:

1. What do I need to show for U.S. business?

2. Anyone applied in Taiwan?

I have been asked to potentially distribute/sell an imported product into Thailand. I know I can't just hit the streets and knock on doors. What is the best legal way in which I can do this so that I can be directly involved (either managing or direct selling) and get paid for operating this business?

Update:

On Friday, June 20th, I received a request for a business registration again. This was one of the first additional documents requested, I sent the entity search on the state of Deleware's website the first time.

Sent the actual articles of incorporation this time, over the weekend.

Status changed to pending approval today.

Hey folks!

I’m considering to apply for the Digital Tourist Visa (DTV) from Singapore and trying to figure out the Digital Nomad vs Soft Power routes.

For the Digital Nomad track—does anyone know if you *have* to have a registered business, or can freelancers get by with just a portfolio? Also, if you have your own company, does your own company letter work for the “letter from company” thing?

And for Soft Power—are there specific companies or activities you have to be with? Any minimum time you need to do them?

Would love to hear how it worked for you or what you’ve heard. Thanks!

I got a request for the following documents, but I'm not really sure what they are asking from me? I already provided them with my employment contract, my last 6 payslips, and a document from my company stating that I'm allowed to work remotely. Why do they now ask for payroll and a business establishment document? I mean I guess I can obtain a certificate of registration, but what are they asking on the payroll for? Did they maybe just miss the payslips or is this something else they want?

Hello everyone. I am preparing my application now, and just wanted to ask a couple questions:

1. I am currently living in Georgia (the country) and the nearest embassy is Ankara. So when I apply online, that is where my application will be processed. Has anyone done theirs there, and if so how long did it take and was it easy or hard?

2. I will be applying as a freelancer, and just opened an LLC to formalise things, and so I can bid on remote consultancy contracts. What should I put in my cover letter?

3. I have a ton of examples of my work that I will include, but do we also give them our CV?

Thank you so much!

Just got a request for further documents:

* Other request documents: Please upload a copy of the business registration (in English or accompanied by an official English translation) in the case of self-employed persons/sole proprietors. The document must include the applicant’s personal details.

I have no business registration because I work as a freelancer. Previously, I attached a contract with my long-term client and screenshots from my Upwork account, as well as previous jobs completed. What can I do now?

Copy of the conpany registration authentcated ny the embassy where business is located.

Did somebody do this?
