TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared their experience of a swift visa application process at the Thai embassy in Taipei, which included a same-day approval. They provided a comprehensive list of documents required, including a letter of presentation, freelancer resume, evidence of income from clients, bank statements, a letter confirming current bank balance, and a rental agreement. Community members inquired about the specifics of the documents needed, discussing the importance of bank statements, and how recent balance verification can be achieved.

I used the address of the hotel, and a copy of the receipt of the hotel for the length of my stay.

I don’t know if I gave more than required but here is what I gave them:

• letter of presentation;

• freelancer resume;

• letter from 5 clients;

• contract with 2 clients;

• bank statement (6 months);

• letter of current bank account balance as of day of application (today);

• Taiwan hotel reservation receipt;

• house rental contract in Thailand;

• filled and signed application form;

• two 2 inches photos;

• passport.

I understood it was a statement of

0THB in your account. Not a statement for the last 6 months showing the balance , I don't know if I made myself clear. That’s correct?

yes, here is what they sent me in the email last week: “Special mention of bank statements: Please confirm that there are enough Thai currency 500,000 baht in your bank account on the day of your application. We also recommend that you can provide the pass six months of bank transaction details, it will be helpful in your application.”

Thanks for those details, they never asked about providing evidence of the company registration details of your employers? Some recent posts shown Taipei asking for company registration

then just do a small withdrawal, it should show available balance on the receipt. It does for me (Canadian bank)
