Hello, finally approved after 3 months!!!

Applied for evisa through New York consulate on 12/5.

On 12/12, they requested further documentation of letter of employment which I wrote for myself as I am self-employed.

On 1/9, asked for further financial documentation as my bank account was a joint (2 names) account and the wanted to see $16,000/person or $36,000 join account (USD). Submitted my investment account with stock holdings.

I emailed in February to check on my application, they responded with “your visa in on the list, please wait for approval ASAP”

On 2/21 it was approved.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared their successful experience with obtaining a Thailand eVisa after a lengthy process of three months. They applied through the New York consulate, faced requests for additional documentation regarding employment and financial status, and ultimately received approval on February 21. Comments from the community reflect on the complexities of joint bank accounts during the review process and variations in personal experiences with visa approval times.

I thought it was $15k and then $500 per dependant?
