What are the current requirements for applying for a tourist visa to Thailand from Vietnam, and what's the processing time with the new e-visa system?

The post inquires about the necessity of submitting bank statements when applying for a tourist visa (TR visa) to Thailand through the new e-visa system coming into effect on January 1, 2025. Several comments clarify that there has not been a financial requirement for a tourist e-visa for some time and that applicants typically only need to provide the documents explicitly requested. Additionally, it is mentioned that visitors can enter Thailand with a 60-day stay upon arrival, extendable by 30 days, which further raises questions about the need for a tourist visa.
