DTV UPDATE: London Embassy. Submitted Monday 5:30pm, request for additional documents Wednesday 3:40pm - so around 46 hours

Request was:

* Photograph taken within the last six months.: - Please upload new photo (clear and focus) or use your mobile phone to take a selfie photo in plain white background and close up your head and top of your shoulders. (Your face must be clear and in focus and take up 70-80% of the photo.)

* Other request documents: - Self assessment tax return / Statement of accounts / Accountant's letter / Personal tax calculation or computation statement from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) (Apart form your name, you can conceal any details that you would not want to show.)

So I have taken and uploaded another picture and downloaded my self assessment (submitted earlier this year) from HMRC.

Fingers crossed they are satisfied and I won't need any more additional documents... who knows! I'll keep you updated!

Good to know! Finally someone in a similar position. So you can conceal the figures on a tax return?

I think that’s what they meant as it said you just conceal what you like but not your name but I didn’t really want to spend time concealing things and just submitted it how it is

@Andrew ****
just out of curiosity, how do you work remote on a hair salon?

@Luit ****************
i advertise the salon on facebook

@Andrew ****
I think for you the soft power options will be easier.

You own the hair salon, you advertise on facebook as remote worker for the salon, you have no employees, who does the actual work then?

@Luit ****************
me when im there and i rent my other chair to a hairdresser

@Andrew ****
So the actual work is not remote working, and I think it wil be very difficut for you to qualify as remote worker.

@Andrew ****
after successfully getting the visa in London and the documents I was asked for I would be inclined to agree with
@Luit ****************
as they asked for me to get a letter from a client stating I can work remotely from any country including Thailand and unfortunately in your profession it's not allowed to do this job in Thailand so soft power probably better
