has anybody got approved with a DTV background or is that an automatic decline?

my friend has a petty theft charge. It was under $100 but that’s it.
Answer summary
The question seeks to determine whether individuals with a DTV (detainee to visitor) background or a petty theft charge, specifically under $100, can still get approved for a Thai visa. A comment suggests that non-custodial charges generally do not pose a problem.

When was the charge? Non custodial charges in general are not a problem.

Should be ok then. Minor, non‑violent misdemeanours cleared on a criminal record are less likely to cause refusal.
