I applied to DTV with the Hong Kong Thai Embassy under Workation.
They are requesting additional documents:
* Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 500,000 THB, (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter): [Information without redacted/withheld] ‘latest 3-month’ full bank statement with applicant’s name showing account activity details in English [balance each month not less than 150,000HKD or equivalent]
* Letter issued by employer addressed to the Royal Thai Consulate-General Hong Kong stating status/position of applicant, duration of position details, salary/remuneration and work space detail/condition with authorized person signature, with signatory's ID
It seems they are requesting >500,000 THB for each month (not only the latest month). Month 3 fills this requirement but for month 1 and 2, I can prove with Interactive Brokers but not with a bank account.
Also, for the letter issued by employer, I am the owner of the company and already drafted a work authorization letter. I did not disclose duration of position, or salary or work space details (not sure what that means).
Anyone else went through the same request for additional documents?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user applied for a Workation visa at the Thai Embassy in Hong Kong and is now required to provide additional financial documents indicating a balance of no less than 500,000 THB for three consecutive months. They need to provide bank statements or other financial evidence, but they can only prove funds from Interactive Brokers for two months. Additionally, they, as the company's owner, have to draft a letter that confirms their position, duration of employment, and salary details, which they are currently unsure how to present. Comments suggest providing whatever financial documents are available and clarifying ownership in the work authorization letter.
Give them what they want, including the statements from your brokerage account if that's all you have for the last 3 months and combine it all into a PDF with a very brief cover letter explaining the finances.
