Hello, looking to apply for a DTV visa, though not in my home country. I’m currently in Bangkok. Do regional embassies charge the same amount for the visa/processing fees? Are some embassies more particular than others? My onward flight from Bangkok is to Kuala Lumpur—anyone applied at the embassy there? Thanks for the advice.
Answer summary
The costs for DTV visa applications vary by embassy, with some charging in their local currency. For instance, the embassy in Laos charges about 10,000 THB. Kuala Lumpur's embassy is noted for having stringent requirements, such as six months of booked accommodation and proof of 500,000 THB in savings. Applicants have reported that obtaining a DTV visa is generally easier through Vietnam, Laos, or Indonesia.

Embassies charge differently, Laos is 10k THB, many others charge a mark up in their own currency. KL is infamous for being the most demanding embassy for DTV approval, e.g 6mths booked accommodation, 6mths seasoned 500kTHB etc. Easier via Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia.
