TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the necessity of tax returns as part of a visa application process, especially since they have been traveling and do not possess a tax return. Several comments seek clarification on who is requesting the tax returns and discuss the implications for remote workers regarding tax documentation.

If you are a remote worker what's the issue (it's been one of ways to prove employment since the visa began) with providing a tax return to prove you are indeed employed? If you have been travelling and not working then a remote worker approach is probably not for you.

Are they from the US? Remote workers paying tax in EU would have this on their payslips from their company (income tax), someone correct me if I’m wrong, or are they requesting something additional to this? I only have access to 6 months pay slips anyway
