First time DTV applicant, UK passport holder, applying from the UK..I got asked for THIRTEEN extra documents/resubmissions. Some of these are hard to interpret (see below). Has anyone in this group got experience of satisfying the Thai Embassy in providing the documents they've requested, which are way over and above what were specified in the initial application? Your useful advice would be gratefully received.
3 - not sure how driving licence proves my location? I don't have utility bills as only in UK for summer
4 - I can't find either of these in my passport!
Is 7 something I write or my contractor/employer?
Does 10 mean that the remote work I'm doing HAS to be done from Thailand?
