HCM: I didn't submit tax return. I did submit payslips and savings account statement with the balance. They came back asking for statement of the account showing salary receipts highlighted. So I would recommend submitting that. Bung it all together in a merged and compressed PDF. I think I sent them about 50 pages all in (6 months for everything).

Savings account works, but for workcation they ALSO wanted to see receipts of salary, so sent my chequing statement which did not have the minimum.

You might be right, but there's a free trial

I left and got mine, but NOT to Thailand. They can ask for proof of location, but possibly not likely if you provided adequate proof originally. However, I wouldn't recommend going to Thailand during the application.

@Christopher *******

Not always true

I had successful applications after travelling, but sent letter making it clear no travel to Thailand and returned to country of application. They can come back asking for proof of location - they did in my case, hence I went back.

It's not true that you can't generally travel during visa applications, many countries allow this. It's not clear though whether it's generally permissable for Thailand. Also different embassies may treat differently. But I was successful after making it clear that I had.

If for remote work, I was asked for statements showing salary receipt.

I used SmallPDF app for converting, combining, compressing, and editing docs. It was a godsend!

@Rob ********

I understand, but I'm saying they might ask for proof of payments.

HCM asked me for statements showing highlights of my salary being deposited, so something to consider.
