he literally said should

Any experiences of this sign being enforced or anyone denied entry on DTV? I always figured they were just trying to catch people setting up business but this sign is a lil scary

Has anyone ever once actually paid tax on dtv visa?

what a punk they recommend 1500 usd earninfs a month so 500 is monthly earning

God forbid someone be upset because their visa was denied

yup right on all accounts. I'm going to try build lots of evidence today snipping correspondence with project coordinators and online wallets etc and present as a portfolio. Registered for UTR when I started freelancing which shows compliance and intent to show tax even if I haven't paid any yet 🤞

Nope😔. I just apply on platforms to access projects then get paid. Looks like a much more comprehensive explanation of what I do will help but really I was trying to save them the trouble 😅

1 - I'm completely paperless 😢. Haven't been in the UK much tbh (thought that's why they call it digital nomad visa).

2 - That's a good shout I just had a look and can get a provisional driving license in around a week which could work. In the UK we are not required to carry ID or anything so I think most people who don't drive just have a passport at home somewhere.

3&4 - I can try these and might use them in combination but I just don't see how they're better than a bank statement.

But thanks for these I'm thinking if I just combine every possible bit of evidence including some of the less conventional suggestions then together hopefully it'll build a picture of authenticity. Definitely need the cover letter in there somewhere.

Oh that's really useful to know that you got approved resubmitting some stuff the same. My approach was to get every upload submitted as one or two pages for their convenience and I didn't see anywhere to upload a cover letter or anything. I'll get working on some multi-page PDFs with explanatory prefacing.

Really appreciate this. I think I tried to make my application really concise and practical with just the essential info in screenshots to make their life easy. But sounds like maybe a bit more explanation could go a long way.
