They have asked for the following documents:

With regards to your e-Visa application, the Royal Thai Embassy/ The Royal Thai Consulate-General would like to request for additional documents as follows:

* **Other request documents:** Please upload Company Registration and ID COPY of the employer. The documents must be legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Thai Embassy in the respective issuing country.
* **Other request documents:** Please upload : 1. Plan of stay in Thailand and Lease agreement (if any) 2. All pages of current and previous passport not skipping any pages.

But of a faaf and I think they're being a quite strict.

My boss started the business in the USA and lives in Singapore so getting all these extra documents will take weeks.

I've asked if I can provide the following documents instead (which my boss had on hand)

* IRS Employer Identification Number Confirmation Letter (CP 575 G)
* California Articles of Organization (LLC-1)
* Membership Certificate
* Copy of the signatory’s Singapore passport

Their reply was...

Greetings from Consular Section of the Royal Thai Embassy in Jakarta.

Thank you for contacting the Consular Section. Please upload as requested.

Regards,

Consular Section

And for the second part they wanted to me to upload every page of my current and previous passports.

Fine but they only give a 3MB size upload limit which is nothing for a 50+ photos joined together. So had to compress the pdf online twice in order to fit a 3MB size.

I'll see if I can get it sorted and will update this post. Or leave this as a warning for others.

Hey may I check did you reply to the [email redacted] or is there any other email to contact them?

You had to compress a PDF twice?!?! OMG! How horrible.

People need to understand they're not entitled to a visa. The DTV is not a right just because you have determined you're eligible in your own mind.

Warren ****** · Answer

This is a warning to you as others will have their own circumstances.

Thank You for your helpful report. Looking forward to your update. Good Luck 🍀

Asking for all pages of the passport is normal. Did you not write a cover letter in your application explaining what your plans were? Normally this is the first thing you need because the person reviewing the application wants to know why you're coming and what you're going to do. The request for other employment documents have been reported by others from other embassies. For an answer of what documents they actually provided for the request, you'll have to do a search in the group or wait If anyone answers you who had the same experience. Don't know about Jakarta.
