Limits of the record
  • The multiple-entry request-letter template also lists business documents (Myanmar and U.S. company introduction letter, company registration copy, tax receipts), apparently carried over from the business template; their applicability to religious applicants is unclear.

Can the person receive salary, pocket money, accommodation, meals or reimbursement? Can they undertake other work?

The applicant declares they will not engage in any activities irrelevant to the purpose of entry stated in the application. The official source does not state whether salary, pocket money, accommodation, meals or reimbursement may be received.
