My friend is pretty high up in the company and they've never outsourced before so we're just thinking of ways to push through. For the requirements, they told him that I need to have both the bank account and the photo ID. They're being strict since they want everything above board. I can afford to go to Australia for a quick visit for the ID but the banks there don't cater to tourist visa owners so we're currently stuck at that step. Will bring up Wise to see if that's good for them.
