Work Docs:

Freelance teacher portfolio with cover letter explaining what I do, where my students are sourced, how I get paid and approx monthly earnings, why I'm applying, and stated that I will not seek work locally in Thailand.

The portfolio included my TEFL cert, student roster, earnings spreadsheet, calendar schedule, 2 sample lesson plans with link to materials (3MB is too small to compress everything ), screenshots from my online classes, some teaching reviews, and WeChat communication from parents showing student retention and pre-paymemt for 10-20 classes side-by-side with the transfer pics from their account to mine.

Financial Docs:

3 mos of statements showing over 500k during all 3 months and a screenshot from the account. Included a short letter explaining the minimal activity on the account (savings, not daily use).

Location Docs:

Photos of my cxld Ed Visa and Vietnam entry stamp, vietnam visa, hotel reservation, and pic at the hotel

I am American and have been in Thailand for a while already. Most recently on an Ed Visa. Before that I had a Business Visa. Others previous to that. Though they did not look at every page of my passport, I'm sure it's evident in their system.

Pretty sure this is everything. Hopefully not forgetting anything.
