Shipmates. I'm going to Bali to shoot for a SETV and have a few questions: 

1. Looks like it's 3 working days from submit to pick up. Can anyone confirm that? 

2. Bank statements: Would a print from a web access be ok? Or does it need to be stamped/verified from the bank? 

Thanks for any tips!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The processing time for the SETV is approximately 3 working days, with drop off on Monday and pick up on Wednesday. A printout from online banking showing the user's name is acceptable as a bank statement, but it must also satisfy any additional requirements for onward travel within 60 days.

Drop off Monday, pick up Wednesday. A print out of your online banking balance is fine as long as it shows your name. You also need proof of onward travel within 60 days.

One of the main takeaways. Do not expect everything to be accepted the first time you try (every other tourist I saw there was turned away). They are picky about documents. So, I'd plan my stay in Bali with a plentiful buffer.

UK bank should do just fine. But make sure your name is visible on the print. I had a spot of bother with that bit. So, I printed the balance screen that has my name on it, and also supplied the ins-and-outs print for the preceding couple of months.

All right, so I took the time to browse the ThaiVisa forum once again, since I will attempt an SETV in Bali also in a month's time. The guy working in the Denpasar consulate is still a member there, username vongbali. It seems that he's actually the only staff 😂 Although the content is a bit old (about 2 years), this is coming from the "horse's mouth" so to say:

1. Bank statement. Can be in a different language also as long as he can identify the name of the bank account holder. Does not need to be certified by the bank, can be a print from online. 700 usd minimum equivalent.

2. In case of renting, he may ask for the contract, house registration and copy of the ID of the owner, so a fully refundable booking is an easier way forward in my opinion(booking dot com). 7 days minimum, it does not have to cover the whole period.

3. He wants to see proof of payment on the exit ticket because many applicants have submitted fake tickets in the past. Ticket can be within 90 days and not 60.

At least 700 usd on bank statement, hotel booking for 7 days minimum, exit ticket has to be paid for (and proof that it's paid). As far as I am aware.
