Am I ready to submit my visa application for Taiwan with the provided documents?

Hello everyone! I'm about to submit my application and I want to have your opinion regarding if I provided everything in term of supporting document:

1) Hotel confirmation of 2 weeks in Taiwan.

2) Bank Statement that shows a balance over 500k THB. (my concern is that the 500k are recently added, since I moved money from my investment account).

3) A screenshot of my Upwork profile that also shows that I made more than 50k USD.

And I will submit the application when I arrive in Taiwan in a little bit more than two weeks. Am I ready to go? Thank you everyone :)

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is preparing to submit their visa application for Taiwan and seeks validation of their supporting documents, which include a hotel confirmation, a bank statement, and evidence of freelance income from Upwork. Commenters suggest enhancing the application with additional documentation, such as a cover letter, portfolio, and proof of ongoing contracts, to strengthen the case for approval. They also advise checking specific immigration requirements.

You should add more documentation to support your application under the "workcation" category...

(or prepare for a request to submit additional documentation).

I suggest you add this merged together (incl. your Upwork profile):

- COVER LETTER (Key points: self employed freelancer, work description, that all your work is done remote, foreign clients and your interest in working remotely from Thailand)

- PORTFOLIO (presentation/summary of your skills and the services/work you offer in your role as a freelancer, examples of your previous work plus a screenshot of and link to your Upwork profile)

- CONTRACTS/PAYMENTS (client contracts, Upwork Earning Certificate, proof of payments, i.e. invoices and bank transfers from clients OR upwork payments and bank statements with payments highlighted)

WHAT ELSE TO OTHER BRING AND/OR PREPARE

- Passport

- Digital photo to upload (not older than 6 month)

- Home address (in your home country or country of residence)

- Address/current location (the hotel booking in Taipei)

- Certificate of Entry and Exit Dates (from the National Immigration Agency, NIA)

- Flight to Thailand, intended date and flight number

- Hotel booking or rental contract in Thailand

...and of course the bank statement you already mentioned.

Good luck!

Is the Upwork profile just to show past work? Maybe some evidence of current continuing contracts with clients, to show that you will continue earning money, would strengthen your application.

I think Taiwan asks you to go to their Immigration Department to get a certificate once you are there. Have a search in recent posts in this group about it
