@Thomas *******************

it says there letter of employment is that needed for a setv

@Luke *******

do the funds have to be in a Thai bank or is U.K. ok..?

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.
