Wow! What a wild story. I guess I got lucky. I applied back in the US in early September, while I was home in the US under the "workcation" criteria. Just had a few emails back and forth and I had it in October. I am self employed and it took 2 extra document requests as I could only upload one each time. It took about 5 weeks and DTV arrived while in Thailand under 60 day standard stamp. Congrats on your long trek to get it done!

Thai Embassy or Consulate can request additional documents as they wish. We are seeing increased requests for added documents with proof of income as well as the bank account balance of 500,000 Thai baht or more required.Marc **********
Congrats. Is the company registration certificate specifically requested ? I work for a US based multi national company and have a letter from my HR confirming my remote work , salary etc..... i'll have payslips, Singapore bank statements etc....
