Why not use search to find all answers, about that specific embassy

I did, and received it in 3 business days. No problem. Any specific question?

The documents they require are listed on the website. As far as I recall, a copy of my passport's information page; the application itself; my Indian visa; a bank statement showing that I have the funds required; a govt document that shows I am the owner and director of my company, and a cover letter explaining why I want to move to Thailand, what work I do, why it is possible to do it digitally, and some of my personal interests in Thai culture in general. And that was it. No questions asked. Approved in 3 business days, and now it's been a year that I've lived here and everything has gone according to plan. Only two unexpected things happened which was the earthquake and my Bangkok Bank account getting frozen twice where the second time it took four weeks for me to get my money out and account closed. But I always had backups for paying for things so I wasn't phased by the freezing. My backups were Wise, cash, and Moreta Pay.

ScenicBroccoli346 I am interested in information on the same documentation that Hitesh was asking about. As i am not Indian I am worried that they will require indian documentation like PAN card an indian tax returns. Can you send me a PM if you don't mind. Thanks

ScenicBroccoli346 why choose Delhi as opposed to Kolkata ?

That delhi embassy must be bustling and the thought of spending more than 24 hours there would drive me crazy

No, I am American. When I applied, it was a sticker. I hear now that the application is completed online, and that you when you get the visa, you have to print it, but you still need to indicate the location of the Thai Embassy of the country in which you reside and remain in that country until the process is complete in case they ask you to come in to the Embassy for clarifications.

I personally have never looked at VFS and embassies as places that intentionally make my life difficult, rather, I look at what documents they require, I gather them one by one, submit them, pay the fee, and then go about my business. But yes, I do notice other people getting easily frustrated by the redtape. I just never do, rather just follow the instructions to the T and wait for the response which has always been positive.

ScenicBroccoli346 From years of experiences getting Thai visas I found that the easiest places with the least requirements were the Honorary Consulates ( Hull, Brisbane ... ).

Next the consulates like Penang. But visiting an actual embassy the amount of documents and paperwork they required for the same visa was overwhelming.

I miss the Brisbane consulate as do others.

I lived in Delhi at the time (one year ago), that's why. And I didn't go to the Embassy, I went to the VFS Global center where most visas are processed. I went three times; the first time was to gather information for what to submit, and the second was to submit all the documents, and the third was to pick up my passport with the DTV in it. Each time I went, I had to take a number and waited no more than 10 mins each time.

ScenicBroccoli346 Are you Indian ?

Reason I ask is that I cannot provide any indian related documents.

I thought that the DTV was a digital visa and not an actual sticker visa.

I avoid VFS as much as I can as they are very difficult to deal with.

The amount of unnecessary documents they require is ridiculous. They seem to be in every country now .

They just have boxes to tick regarding documents and if they cannot tick them then they will not process the visa application .
