Taipei increased scrutiny of SPers last year due to the rise of such bogus applications. Someone recently posted last month of applying there and being approved the same day and their husband approved the next day as a dependent. That level of speed was why Taipei was very popular 2024. As someone mentioned the agent handling your application comes into play.

It is no problem, I used 3 bank accounts. I showed online Income in 2 different accounts. My 500k shown in a another account.

How slow?

Yes it is linked to your passport. When you get a new one, carry both passports for entry into Thailand

Anonymous participant 137 Yeah, I was successful. Did you submit the agreement you have with Upwork ? Other UPWorkers have been approved.

I faced the similar same prob as a freelancer. I sent a letter to the Taipei embassy explaining the problem, they said apply with what you can, You could try similar, you can also upload business registration details of your client, which I did in the end.

MuayThai Fever is reputable and the most popular CM gym in this forum.

Yep, it is one of the visa golden rules.

Anonymous participant Anonymous participant Without submitting your business registration, you could apply via the freelance route. You would need to show a contract of employment, payments received on 6 months of bank statements, employer business registration, letter permitting remote work in Thailand.

Which embassy are you applying from? Requirements differ among embassies.
