Good point, i hope they understand by now what that contract means as the OP is not the first to apply with it in the UK.

Jakarta like other SE Asia embassies are taking longer to approve 10-15 business days is normal. Today is a national holiday in Indonesia.

Repeated requests have happened, just submit what they request.

i submitted online income with banks statements but i guess it is down to preference. Main thing is having it submitted.

So when other cultures do exactly the same thing, what is it about?

Multiple sources of income is fine, I applied with 2. If you are not applying in the UK you may want to add a note of what zero contract means. Online teachers with limited income have been approved, main thing is the 500K.

I applied at Taipei which is infamous for its' focus on income aside from the 500k. I had very limited online employment income at the time of application so added investment accounts to show additional income. i chose Taipei as It was same day approval when I got it and did not want leave anything to chance.

Investments can be used to strengthen your application. I added investments to my DTV application alongside the 500K and others do the same.

Some US embassies allow stocks to be used for the 500K THB but vast majority of embassies require it as cash in a personal account.
