TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on how to handle a request from the Thai embassy for proof of income related to their registered business that has yet to generate revenue. They have portfolio work to show but are facing challenges regarding income evidence. Comments suggest that without income, approval may be difficult, and one user shared a successful experience by providing a cover letter and a signed contract for future work.

Search for my report of my application in HCMC, I was in similar situation and included a cover letter explaining the situation and included the signed contract of the job which was still to start. I was approved.

You should have done soft power

No income is risky to get approved

Spot on. Much easier and there's no difference unless it says in the remarks.
