I'm from the Maldives and there's no Thai consulate here. So I've to apply for the DTV thru the one in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Does this mean I've to be in Sri Lanka to apply for it or can I do it online while in the Maldives?
Summary so far
The user from the Maldives is seeking clarification on whether they need to be physically present in Sri Lanka to apply for a Thai DTV visa at the consulate in Colombo, since there is no Thai consulate in the Maldives.

Your new best friend. Edit and merge documents, add pages, delete pages. Shrink file sizes. It's fab.

And thanks for confirming what others have failed to: one upload document allowed, not several.

Cheers.

I applied to the Thai consulate in Los Angeles for my husband for the non-oa and just showed the current balance on the bank statement and he was approved in one day. From the way I read the requirements, it said you can show a current statement or 3 months statements, etc.

there are many Apps that let you compress multiple .pdf files into one. Just Google "pdf converter"

If you know some who has a scanner then they should be able to merge multiple pages into 1 document.

Most scanner/printers have a utility that allows you to scan multiple pages into one pdf file. If you don't have that capability many office supply stores can fo it for you and either send you the file or put it on a flash drive and you should be able to upload it.

It can be more than one page, but only one document. I paid for the full Adobe Acrobat application to merge the files and then cancelled after.

You don't need to create a document with a single page. You can merge your documents so all of the pages are in the same file. Just make sure to use a "PDF Shrinking" service if the file is bigger than 3 MB.

I helped a friend and had to sign up to Adobe and it let me merge them all into one document. Then I canceled Adobe before the trial period was over. That was the only way I was able to figure it out

I just received my visa with supplying only the last page of my statement showing the current balance. Was approved in one week...

What ever you do, do NOT just send the last page. It won’t work, and people shouldn’t be advising you to do so. Merge your PDF’s, there are many free tools online to do that. Same with any other documents.

Dave Nichol Maybe they liked me better than you because mine was definitely approved with only the last page...

]For basic merging on Windows, you can use built-in features to save the documents together.Open a blank document in Microsoft Word.Go to the Insert tab, click Object, and select Text from File.Select all the PDF files you want to combine (hold Ctrl to select multiple) and click Insert.Go to File > Save As and choose PDF as the file format.

[Mac]Macs have a built-in tool that merges PDFs seamlessly without the internet.Open one of your PDFs in the Preview app.Go to View > Thumbnails to open the sidebar.Drag and drop the other PDF files directly into the thumbnail sidebar.Arrange the pages in the order you want, then go to File > Export as PDF.
