TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is preparing documents for their workation DTV application and seeks advice on required documentation beyond bank statements, cover letters, and proof of address. They inquire if any additional documents are necessary for submission and mention changes in application processes, such as no longer applying through the Thai embassy in London.

So I have 2 accounts(savings and current) for the section "Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 500,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter)" - Am I right to put statements for both accounts onto one pdf file or just the account (savings) that just holds the min 500k THB?

Additionally, i originally made a cover letter for the Thai Embassy in London - does anyone know if this is still needed for the online application or should I keep this seperate from the Bank Statements (as a sponsor letter is different to a cover letter but translations can be perceived differnetly etc etc). I just wanna get it right the first time πŸ˜‚

A cover letter is good to add.You can include both accounts to strengthen your application, I did.

When my wife and I applied for ours online in Vietnam (Thai embassy in Ho Chi Minh) they also wanted proof of where you are. Easily enough done, a few selfies outside the post office in Hoi An. Also a bill or reciept with your name on it. Again, easy enough. Got the hotel we were staying at in Hoi An to right me out a reciept for our stay. For my wife, the moped rental shop wrote one out and signed and stamped it for authorisation.
