Hi all, my visa was approved on Oct 16th.
And I wanted to share my experience too for you all to apply.
1) Embassy Location: Fukuoka embassy, Japan
(I was a Tokyo resident as a Japanese national)
2) Timeline
Applied on at night on Oct 9th.
Asked for extra docs on Oct 15th, which I submitted in the morning on Oct 16th.
Got approved on the 16th in the evening when I was exhilarated.
3) Type: soft power(Muey Thai gym)
4) Requested more docs as below
* Accommodation booking document
I am staying with my Thai gf, so she gave me her condo contract, a cover letter and her ID.
* Flight booking confirmation
* Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 500,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter): A bank statement showing transactions for the past three months (Aug - Oct).
Initially I submitted only the full amount of my savings.
Other request documents: Please scan all pages of the passport that contain entry or exit stamps and visa stickers.
It went all quick.
Hope it helps.
