You can use Content Organizer feature to route documents to different site collection.

  1. Implement a designer workflow to copy the file to Drop off Library after approval.
  2. Configure content organiser rule to move the file to target site collection.

Your only option is to use the REST API. The implementation will be a bit tricky because of the complexity involved.

See this article for a detailed walkthrough

The REST URL Format is -

https://tenant.sharepoint.com/siteurl/_api/web/folders/GetByUrl('SourceDocumentLibrary')/Files/getbyurl('FileToCopy.Extension')/copyTo(strNewUrl='/TargetSiteUrl/DestinationLibrary/FileName.Extension',bOverWrite=true)
