Dear members, please check detailed requirements for each purpose of DTV first at the Royal Thai Embassy or Royal Thai Consulate-General, the exact one where you are applying for your visa. Detailed requirements could vary by embassy, a document the embassy in your home country accepts may or may not work for the application in another country.
Good luck to OP. We'd like to hear your outcome.

Unfortunately looks like you can’t apply online from all those listed countries as when I choose laos for example doesn’t give me The Royal Thai Embassy option(it says choose somewhere else) as i need to book appointment directly to embassy to apply i think.. 🤔

@Ali *******
Laos, nor any nearby country, is on the evisa system. You need to travel to them and visit the consulate in person. Even on the evisa system you need to be in the country you choose

Did they require an inbound airline itinerary from USA to Thailand?

OP@Jacob ******
they asked questions about itinerary but didn’t require any documentation for proof

Are you allowed to redact your bank account number?

@Alexandre *******
I have redacted them on some Visa in the past. If I recall correctly, bank info was required during the first country opening when covid policies were in place. I doubt it is an issue, and with all the bank fraud people should be careful.

@Ken ************
try and let us know how that goes

500K in my bank in my country instead of Thai bank account , that is great 👍🏻
