Hi everyone,

I have been self-employed as a designer in China for more than 6 years and I want to apply for self emplyed visa. But as my income normally transfered through Wechatand Alipay, and I don't have a tax record, can anyone tell me how I can prove my income as self employed in the documents?

Thank you very much!

Read through everything in the link that was previously provided to you in the other thread you started. It will take days, maybe weeks, to get through and understand everything.

But if you must have a shortcut to this specific question, the answer is in Section 11 in this link:

Even through non-traditional payment method, your income should be reported to the country you are tax resident of. Have you been avoding to pay tax and not report your income properly? In that case, you can't proof that you are self employed.
