DTV workation approved in France in 23 days
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and advices on the group, it helped me make a solid case.
Some key information:
- Application made online at the Paris embassy on January 11 (I'm French).
- I do online coaching and sent a 40-page pdf portfolio presenting my activity with proof (links and screenshots of my website, Youtube, customers invoices, Stripe money transfers to pro account).
- A Thai woman from the embassy official called me on January 29 to ask me to send them my portfolio in English and my latest personal bank statement with over 500 000 baths, as the one I sent on January 11 was not very legible.
- On February 3, I received an e-mail “DTV APPROVED” with the DTV visa ready for use until February 2, 2030.
Conclusion and advice : The meticulous preparation of my portfolio was crucial and greatly facilitated my success in this project.
All my support for those who are on this journey :-)
