I've just been approved for DTV in France, which took 1 month! My situation: freelance digital marketer.

First of all, I filled in the application form on thaievisa (flight, hotel, proof of residence and bank statement for the month of June). Then after 3 weeks they contacted me again and asked me to create a portfolio, all merged with Avis d'Insée (proof of auto-entrepreneur status in France), a text portfolio (1 Word page) explaining the nature of my work in French AND English, my last invoices for the last month, last month's bank statement, and also a screen copy of the platform on which I'm registered to interact with clients and see my activities/profile).

So I provided these documents (about ten pages merged into a single pdf document) and voilà, there was a 'pending approval' status that lasted 2 days and I was approved.
Answer summary
The approval process for a DTV visa in France took the user one month. The application involved submitting various documents, including proof of residence and financial statements. After an additional request for a portfolio and further documentation relating to their freelance work, the user received approval after a brief pending status of two days. A comment highlights that the Thai consulate in Paris has one of the longest processing times in the EU, possibly up to six weeks.

It's because the thai consulate in Paris has the longest processing time of ALL the thai consulates in the EU.

I think they have it posted on their website that it can take SIX WEEKS to get approval

That's the same for all documents there.
