I didn’t even wait for this request, I put tax returns of last 3 years, everything that can help has to be provided before they even ask for it.

are you applying as soft power or remote worker?
Paul *********
Strange as this visa doesn’t require an income test

@Paul ********
it is also used to check the legitimacy of your company/work.

@Andi **********
That can be tested via way of a company registar, which shows the legitimacy more accurately. Tax returns aren't connected with your employment anyway.Andi ***********
@Paul ******
yes, Taipei said to me they do not pay much attention to tax returns.

Just send in your 2 years of tax returns. It’s to prove you are not laundering money.
