A DTV workcation file should make your work understandable to the officer reviewing it. A job title or social profile may provide context, but the application needs the evidence required by the responsible mission.
Start with the work you actually do
Write a short factual description of your role, who you work for and how the work is performed. Use that description to organise existing evidence, not to invent a different job because it sounds more eligible.
Match evidence to your working arrangement
Employees
Check whether the mission requests an employment contract, employer certificate or other confirmation. Make sure names, job details and dates are consistent. Ask the employer to correct its own documents if something is wrong.
Freelancers
The official DTV framework recognises professional-portfolio evidence. Prepare a readable selection of genuine work and supporting records that fit the mission’s checklist. Explain your role in collaborative projects so a reviewer can distinguish your work from the client’s broader business.
Keep personal and financial evidence separate
The work file explains purpose; passport, residence and financial evidence answer other application questions. A polished portfolio does not replace an item requested elsewhere in the checklist. Use a cover sheet showing which document answers each requirement.
Review before submitting
- The application purpose agrees with the work evidence.
- Your name and passport details match.
- Contracts and letters are readable and complete.
- Third-party links are accessible if requested.
- Any required translations or certifications follow the mission’s instructions.
Frequently asked questions
Does every online job qualify automatically?
No. Check the responsible mission’s requirements for your arrangement and provide the requested evidence.
Should I include confidential client material?
Use material you are authorised to disclose. Ask the mission how to address a genuine confidentiality restriction if it affects required evidence.
