there are standards posted by the MFA. But they don't really mean much because each embassy and consulate basically gets to make their own rules.

This is how things in Thailand work.

When you want to open a bank account you keep trying different bank branches, even of the same bank, because each bank manager makes their own rules.

When you need something from immigration in Thailand, the requirements vary from province to province because each immigration office makes their own rules. It's quite difficult to keep track of.
