Applied in Sydney on 25th of Aug. Asked for proof of remote work on 27th and approved today. Cost was $600 AUD.
Pretty fast process and no other real drama.
Provided driver’s license for proof of address, work contract and certificate from my employer that I am still employed. Also additionally I had to provide a certificate from my employer stating that I can work remote. For available funds, 6mths of bank statement was enough and no questions were raised. (Often my balance drops below 550k baht but recent balance was over)
Let’s all hope that this visa works as advertised and is as easy to renew/reenter as reported.
Side note. My passport needs to be renewed sometime late next year. I suppose I need to either travel with both passports or there is a way to have this visa transferred to new passport. Anyone have experience with this? (Not DTV obviously but with other visa types - you think you have to resubmit docs?)
