I only had the printed out PDF and obviously my passport.

@Joseph *********
thank you! Actually only here for a few weeks this time around, so it was a test run haha

Not that it helps, but I was approved in five business days in HCMC last week 😅

they didn’t really care about my business transactions, just what I’ve got in my bank and been paid. I’ve read too many rejections on here for Wise and non-bank accounts, so best play it safe. I know it’s not ideal, but always play it as safe as possible.

@John ********
don’t use Wise. Use a proper bank in your country. I initially had my funds in Trading 212, but it’s not a proper bank account so moved it to my bank account a day prior and provided explanation etc

and it was just current month of my personal bank statements. Read original post though - I also had support from my dad as an optional extra weight to show I also had family support if necessary. Again, not needed, but doesn’t hurt.

refer to original post (sorry) - they did come back and ask for every page of passport. Painful it could only be in one pdf. Also a business mission statement etc. I don’t recall giving business statements, no.
