# 😕2 months payslips + signed contract + strong savings. Enough?
Planning to apply for DTV (Workcation) from Sydney in January. Wanted to get a sanity check from people who've been through it.
My situation:
* Australian passport, applying from Sydney
* Left my job in March (career break)
* Signed consultant agreement starting January 2025 (remote)
* 2 months of freelance income (September and December) via PayPal
* Savings 2-3x above the 500K THB requirement
* 7 years professional background (consulting).
My concern: I see 6 months of payslips listed as a requirement. I don't have that but I have strong savings and a signed contract.
Has anyone been approved with less than 6 months payslips if savings and contract were solid?
Also considering Soft Power (Muay Thai) as a backup but would prefer Workcation as I want to test gyms out when I am actually there. But if that's the better play, I can consider it.
Appreciate any insights.
Cheers.
