I mean getting a condo contract is easy, but what if they reject visa? Do they really expect you to sign a fixed contract before u have the permit to enter for that period of time?

honestly baffles me! Also we’d want to see a condo before signing a lease & we can’t be in Thailand until it’s approved!

I dont think they are wanting all those documents only the ones marked Essential. It all depends what you stated to them as employment I guess. Just my take but good luck with it

You shouldn't have applied at Malaysia without without first checking their requirements. They do require you to have proof of an accommodation for over 6 months. Nothing can be done about it.

the requirements weren’t made clear on the initial application we sent, they have asked for further information.

unless you can provide it all, write off the fee and apply elsewhere but this time check the documents required. The requirements were perfectly clear on the DTV document checklist on the KL Thai embassy site.

Also join the DTV specific groups is you haven't already. Lots of comments in those groups about where not to apply.
