Should I include extra letters when applying for a Thai visa, or just the required documents?

Hi all,

Just wanted to ask, when you applied, did you guys also include any extra letters (like an intro letter or income explanation), or did you only upload the required documents?

I didn’t attach any additional letters, just exactly what they asked for, so I’m a bit unsure if I should have included anything extra.

Would really appreciate hearing what others did 🙏

I submitted on 28th April

Was asked for additional documents 1st May

Re-submitted 2nd May, now showing pending document check

Answer summary
The conversation revolves around whether to include additional letters (like an intro letter or income explanations) when submitting a Thai visa application, particularly for a workcation visa. The original poster only submitted the required documents and seeks advice. Responses indicate that including a cover letter or a brief explanation can be beneficial to facilitate faster approval. Some users shared their experiences of including such documents and suggested that a clear presentation of the application might help in getting a quicker response from the authorities.

I provided a bit of a Table of Contents where there were several components to my portfolio but nothing too extensive.

After I provided extra documentation I waited about a month.

Definitely a brief cover letter explaining everything that's being uploaded along with highlighting relevant items, instead of a huge document dump has proven a very successful method to get a quick approval.

I included a cover letter explaining my reasons for wanting the Workcation DTV and brief explanation why I applied with multiple accounts and why i did not have pay slips from one employer. Netherlands is infamous for being fussy over paperwork so if they needed more docs they will tell you.
