What are the requirements and experiences for applying for a DTV visa in Thailand?

Hey guys 👋

I’ve got a few questions about DTV visa, hope someone here can share some experience:

1 Embassy on the invitation letter

Does the “soft power” invitation letter actually say which Thai embassy you have to apply at?

When I applied, I told my Muay Thai organization I’d do it in Vietnam, but I ended up going to the Thai Embassy in Laos instead. Is that okay, or will that be a problem?

2 Reapplying after rejection

Has anyone been rejected at one Thai embassy (like Ho Chi Minh City) and then successfully applied again at another one (like Hanoi or another country) using the same invitation letter?

Just wondering if that’s possible or if the rejection follows you everywhere 😅

3 Bank statement / financial proof (Vietnam case)

For those who applied in Vietnam — do they really need 6 months of bank statements, or would 3 months be fine?

And can the bank account for the statements be different from the one showing the 500,000 THB deposit? (e.g. two different banks)

Thanks a lot for any info or personal experience 🙏

Would really appreciate if anyone could share how strict different embassies are with these things!
