Tried booking appointment on their website. Doesn’t seems to have any availability?

The $500k THB must be deposited in a Thai bank for statement review before you apply fir the DTV? Or are they reviewing your foreign (non-Thai) bank account statements?

@Christopher *******
foreign bank is okay.

2 days processing time is crazy good. Did they ask anyone to authenticate the work contract? Quite a significant extra step that Canadian Thai embassy requested

Hello. For the Spouse and Dependent Children, the list says "a copy" of the marriage/birth certificate - does anyone know if that means they accept high-quality copies, or do they require to see the originals? TIA
Đặng ****
Great info break down! Thank you. May I ask if you know whether 500,000 THB has to be the minimum for all 6 months of the statement?
Dennis *********
@Đặng ***
I would guess they look at ending balance maybe beginning. But if required 6 months which is more than other embassy each statement should have 500,000 per the requirement

What is an employment certificate?
Erica ********
@Alexander ***
: I followed a sample/ template from the internet.
Alexander ****
so you just print one out and fill out yourself? That doesn’t sound like a certificate
Alexander ****
so you make it?
Lynnette *******
@Alexander ***

Sounds great... It's interesting that every embassy / consulate has different rules, this one needs 6 monthly statements, unlike others.
