TLDR : Answer Summary
The time taken to prepare and file a DTV visa in Thailand varies significantly among individuals. Some found the process quick, taking just a few minutes if they had the necessary documents ready, while others reported longer preparation times due to translations or waiting for employment certificates, with times ranging from 5 minutes to 4 weeks.

probably a few minutes. very easy to have the 4 documents ready. okay i waited a few hours for my certificate of employment but no big deal actually.

no need for bank statements and

no translation needed in Frankfurt, Germany.

a simple bank account overview showing the € equivalent of 500k baht is sufficient there. no need for a statement with your transactions.
