Self employed with cash income - paano kayo nagka first visa? M29, run a small logistics business. Mostly cash but legit - I pay taxes, may BIR, bank transfers every month. Problem is I want to work abroad someday. But I cant even get a tourist visa to scout places. UK refused me. Schengen refused me. Reason - we dont trust your income and no travel history. Ang sakit. Need travel history for a visa, need a visa for travel history. Catch 22. Ive talked to other self employed people from PH, India, Brazil. Same story. Pag walang traditional salary slip, assume nila na sinungaling ka. So my question for those who work abroad - how did you get your first visa? Anong bansa unang nag yes? Things Im considering - try an easier country first (Thailand? Turkey? Singapore?) Get professional help .Give up on West and focus on SEA or Middle East Also - will tourist visa refusals hurt my future work visa applications? Yun worry ko. Anyone here started from zero?…
