Subject: Inquiry Regarding the Digital Nomad Visa Application Process from Gaza
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Mr. Aeed Zuheir Mazza, a freelance graphic designer with over eight years of experience. I work remotely for Raneen Company in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with a monthly salary of 1,000 USD. Additionally, I operate as an independent freelancer, earning approximately 2,000 USD per month.
I am able to provide all the required documents for the Digital Nomad visa application and am prepared to submit a letter of guarantee from Raneen Company. The company is also willing to send any additional documentation directly to your office via mail. My bank statements are also available.
Due to frequent internet outages and the lack of a stable work environment in the Gaza Strip, I am facing significant difficulties in maintaining the quality of my work, meeting deadlines, and preserving the reputation of my business.
I kindly request your guidance on the following:
Detailed steps for submitting the visa application from within Gaza.
Does residing in a conflict zone negatively affect the application process?
Is it possible to postpone biometric data collection until after receiving preliminary approval?
Can a legal representative submit the application on my behalf, and defer biometric procedures until my arrival in Bulgaria?
Is it possible for the Bulgarian Embassy in Israel to assist with my evacuation from Gaza at my own expense, considering the extreme difficulty in exiting Gaza without coordination from the destination country’s embassy?
Thank you for your kind cooperation. I look forward to your instructions to complete the application process as soon as possible.
