Just got approved in Warsaw after 7 (5 business) days as remote worker. Thank you all for your advice!
Timeline:
20.05 9am Application submitted
Documents:
- Bank account statement showing >THB 500k - sworn translation
- Compay registration - sworn translation
- My freelance portfolio plus a letter from the Company I co-own in Poland confirming I'll be performing my duties as a Board Member remotely and stating I'm also free to continue my freelance career (as I did for the last 18+ years)
- State ID
- Passport biodata page
20.05 ~3:30pm
Request for further documents: originals of the translated documents (bank statement, company reg)
Submitted same day at 4:30pm
21.03 ~3:30pm
Request for further documents: all pages of my passport.
At this point I started to worry a little bit after reading a story about Warsaw Embassy cancelling someone's applications due to the lack of exit stamp from previous visit - I got back from Thailand a week prior to application and went through e-gates hence didn't have departure stamp either. I posted here for advice and followed it. Details below.
Submited full passport same day at 5:20pm
22.05 ~2:30pm
Request for further documents: statement about my current wearabouts signed by the applicant.
At this point I already knew (thanks to this community) what they were after, so I decided to make it easy - just as someone here suggested. I prepared a letter explaining my current residence and my last trip to Thailand with it's full itinerary, boarding passes, confirmation on luggage admittance and even a selfie I took at the BKK airport gate right before boarding. I also stated that since I left Thailand the single entry on-arrival visa I had is no longer valid and I do not hold any other type of Thai visa.
Submitted same day at ~5pm
23.05 Application status changed to awaiting Approval
28.05 5:05pm APPROVED.
Thank you all!
