I applied for mine in Vancouver Canada a few days after it came out and I provided the following: 1) Contract with 1 client that has a clause that I can/will work anywhere in the world 2) Screenshot of my Canada Revenue business account 3) Screenshot of my website 4) Business bank stmt 5) Personal bank stmt showing the required (in Canada) $20,000. I also included a cover letter explaining my business, my monthly income and why we want to stay in Thailand. I got approved within 2 days. Hope this helps - but remember that every embassy/consulate has/makes their own rules :)
I did not call to ask - they usually never answer the phone anyways. The application is very very straightforward , and you can pause and can come back to it anytime before submitting. Not worth the trip to Vancouver Iād say as Iām sure they want you to apply online anyways!?
The consulate in Vancouver Canada asks for proof of funds for dependentsā¦.I guess some do - some donāt. You could go through the application and see if the one you are applying through does.
