TLDR : Answer Summary
The user successfully obtained an eVisa for Thailand while in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with a quick processing time of two days. They provided a recent bank statement with over 500,000 THB, documentation showing remote work, evidence of their Vietnam visa, a picture of their entry stamp, and hotel booking details. There were various inquiries from the community regarding the specifics of the application process, document requirements, and the necessity for notarized bank statements. Most communal discussions emphasized the importance of the bank statement and the nature of remote work documentation.

I see you mentioned that there was only enough space to submit your most recent bank statement.

Can I ask was this the same for remote work documents? Did there seem to be a limit as to how many you can upload?

Because I have quite a few and wondering which to prepare.

Yes only space to submit one document for this. (Looking back on it, probably could have condensed a couple documents into one PDF. I however did not.)

Yes. I had prepared to send six most recent statements, but the online portal didn't have place to send additional documents. So I just included the most recent one.
