Is it true that when applying for DTV as a Brit you only need to have had the 500k+ THB in your account for 1 month? And also to confirm I MUST 100% apply from my home country now, not a border run etc?

Thanks
Answer summary
Yes, when applying for the DTV visa, Brits are typically required to show that they have had 500,000 THB in their account for at least one month. Additionally, it's necessary to apply from your home country rather than from Thailand or through a border run.

You need to get them translated and then get the translations authorised by the MFA. The translation people in Bangkok know what to do. You used to be able to pay them to take it to the MFA for you, but I'm not sure they can still do that.

What visas are you applying for?

What you have should be fine when applying for initial visas, but they should have been authenticated by the Thai embassy in Canada. You may be able to get the MFA in Thailand to do that but you'll need them translated
