I attempted this for the METV: 6month bank statements and other financial evidence - all has to be one upload, and still under 500kb.... Its impossible. As Robert says above, just send a load of illegible shite.

Somehow the Thai Consulates and Embassies are bored of the templates of bank accounts with just a little more than the minimum. They took all the info out of the websites and ask your bank statement. You live inside Thailand, so you can give an estimate about how much your parents do need to survive or live in a little comfort.

it is a computer, those boxes do what is told by a programmer. I would say you like to stay max 60 days, fill in 58 or 59. The computer does not read your flight ticket, just scan it, Embassy know and understand that you can apply for 30 days Extension of Stay

Someone suggested up loading them to face book because it automatically resizes documents and files.
