I see the same sentiments all over regarding already submitted documentation and the embassies get back to you asking for exactly the documentation you have already sent.

In particular for those who sent bigger packages of documentation in the case of applying as freelancer/working remotely.

It seems that very often the staff looking at these documents only fast glance and then very often ask for is already submitted even if you have a cover letter specifying each item included.

What's your experience on the topic?

I applied for a DTV for Soft Power. Is it normal for them to ask for an employment letter? That requirement wasn’t mentioned.

Has anyone applied at the HCMC consulate in person? I know everything has moved online, but I keep hearing about problems with the online applications overwriting, autocorrecting, and generally not working, that I'm wondering if I can just fill it out and drop it off there, no mistakes. Any thoughts or insights?

I want to apply for DTV & do it via an education visa.

I plan to go to Laos to do my DTV visa for it but I also need to leave the country cause my tourist visa will end Feb 16.

How long does it take and what are the steps to apply for the ED visa / DTV Visa?

Very confused by how to start the process (but I do understand already what other things I need to show such as proof of funds, etc as shown on the Laos website seen below)

Got DTV approved in Vientiane through the new evisa system. Submitted documents online on Jan 14 and had interview appointment at the consulate on Jan 17. Visa was approved right after. Thai consulate in Vientiane really seems to look into the bank statement. Had to open up the bank app on phone for the consular to check transactions against the uploaded bank statement. Not many questions otherwise. Total processing time 4 days (although I don’t think the interviews are held every day).

Good morning:

I am in the process of filing mt DTV application and I have run into a few roadblocks and need some help

Address: I live in a remote part of Alaska and when I put in my Post Office box address and my postal code my town is not included in the list? No what?

Professional portfolio: I own 2 businesses so I want to upload enough proof of the online business. Box 5 (professional portfolio)only allowes me to attach 1 document. How do I attach more than one or attach a file?

Hiring an agent: My first trip to Thailand during covid including the 7+7 program. I hired a agent to do my visa and it was worth it. So has anyone hired an agen?

Potential problem discovered today. Some immigration offices may ask you for proof your bank deposit came from abroad. Many people use online banks like Wise. But Wise send from their Wise London bank to a partner bank in Thailand, and then on to your bank. So your deposit's code in your Thai bank is not from abroad. Immigration can therefore make this an obstacle - that needs overcoming - to get your visa. Note: not all offices or officers ask for this apparently.

UPDATE: According to others, it seems this problem has been solved by Wise giving an option to send "funds for longstay". If, like me however, you sent the funds before this option was available, the problem remains. You will most likely have to resend the funds from abroad. My local office will not accept the Wise (funds sent) statement as proof.
