request for tax forms question

my 12/15 lax application received a response early morning 1/11 (saturday) which i find strange given the weekend and very early hours; these are processed locally by the embassy and not in thailand (which would also have been saturday night) right?

in any case, they asked for business registration info, last year's taxes, and a business portfolio.  not sure what i'll provide for the last as i don't 'publicly make things' - in any case my big question is about the taxes.  i'd rather not be out here sharing my tax filings with anyone, is there any way people have used to avoid this but met some kind of income/economic viablility request without sharing tax forms?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about a recent request from the Thai embassy for tax documents and business registration as part of their visa application process. They are concerned about sharing their tax filings and are seeking alternatives to meet the income viability requirements without disclosing sensitive personal information. Several commenters advise that compliance with documentation requests is typically required for visa approval, suggesting either submission of tax forms or exploring alternative visa categories that may have different documentation requirements.

i thought about doing muay thai, i have done an education visa for muay thai in the past - but also figured if i tried to pivot at this point it would be an additional application/fee.

If you don’t want to share personal documents to the embassy, don’t apply for a visa. Same with any country.

it's not as if this is a common request. what purpose is it even supposedly needed for? economic viability should already be established by the bank account

I like how your logic is basically "anything ever they could possibly ask for is totally valid, of course they need it"
