I applied for mine in Vancouver Canada a few days after it came out and I provided the following: 1) Contract with 1 client that has a clause that I can/will work anywhere in the world 2) Screenshot of my Canada Revenue business account 3) Screenshot of my website 4) Business bank stmt 5) Personal bank stmt showing the required (in Canada) $20,000. I also included a cover letter explaining my business, my monthly income and why we want to stay in Thailand. I got approved within 2 days. Hope this helps - but remember that every embassy/consulate has/makes their own rules :)

I got my DTV as a freelancer 🙋‍♀️

@Kaitlyn ********

this one - and then choose Vancouver as your consulate:

@Kaitlyn ********

they do answer emails tho - so you could try that one 😊

@Kaitlyn ********

I did not call to ask - they usually never answer the phone anyways. The application is very very straightforward , and you can pause and can come back to it anytime before submitting. Not worth the trip to Vancouver I’d say as I’m sure they want you to apply online anyways!?

I applied at the Vancouver consulate and got it approved within 2 days.

Submitted proof of funds, a contract I have with one of my clients and a cover letter explaining what I do for work.

@Alexander ***

yes - it is asked for it the dependent visa too 😬

The consulate in Vancouver Canada asks for proof of funds for dependents….I guess some do - some don’t. You could go through the application and see if the one you are applying through does.

Yep, they sure can lol :)

I just got my DTV approved yesterday and now doing my husband as dependent and they are asking for proof of 500,000 on his application too. This is in Vancouver, Canada. 😉
