Approved from Canberra Australia!

Applied: 19th Feb

Approved: 24th Feb

I feel like my situation might be slightly different, so sharing it and hopefully people find it useful.

Ive been running a side hustle while working full time for the past 2 years because it’s not sustainable on its own yet. I explained in my cover letter that im looking to make a career change, quit my job and work on my business fulltime and it worked! (Also stated that I have enough savings to sustain me ofc).

Documents:

- bank statement (my bank does 1 statement for every 6 months)

- utility bill (proof of address)

- cover letter

- company registration

- remote working letter created myself. (Also specified that the company doesn’t operate in thailand and will not employ any Thais)

- website screenshot/ portfolio and url

No additional documents requested

When I checked for bookings can only do maximum 90 days but I’ll have a look, and thanks I was thinking that also to get flight number from a searched flight on expected departure date
