Is it true?

From my residency nation (Japan), passport country is Australia.I Think it is a standard form, nothing special for me.

ID page of my passport they asked for , (no any other or blank pages), my picture, my ID of my residency (government issued). 3 months bank report (available online,m printed and attached it) that I have 800K THB in my local account. Approved in just over 5 days, Osaka, Japan.

Applied June 23. 2025 , approved June 30. 2025.

I applied for a work visa through a US consulate. When I called and asked about the proof of location they said a bank statement with my current address or a utility bill was sufficient.

If you apply through the embassy/consulate in your passport nation, you could just upload the ID-page of your passport. Also driver license, utility bill or bank letter with your name and address. None of this in fact proves that you stay where you apply, but they can ask you to upload your last stamp or all passport pages including blank ones too, and in the end you’ll need to start your trip where your visa was issued.

The London embassy is otherwise known to be very effective with a two-three days processing time for visas.
