Put it in chatGPT and it will talk you through it. If you need more than 1 document for each question get an app that merges PDF docs into 1 file.

Each Thai embassy, even if they are in the same country (like Saigon and Hanoi) will ask for different amounts of details and some are more anal than others.

Just go to Vietnam - a place that values tourists. Thailand has declared war on foreigners.

Did they send this to your email? If they sent this to your email, it may be fraudulent.

Heidi Mikulla what a childish, puerile, & juvenile comment. Thanks for making it. You've proved my point. Yes, you're a freaking dope.

Brunski BM Still worthwhile to others new to Thailand , or like me looking to come back to Thailand after a few years, given all the changes that have been made. Those who are good spirited enough to provide sound advice in their comments provide helpful tips that I save to review for when I will need them.

Lauren James there are way plenty of reasonable questions for you to follow, and idiots that don't qualify their questions with detail just serve to confuse, so if you take your information from things like that, it makes you an even bigger fool. You don't support entitled twats... Unless, of course, you want to see more of them.

They will want printed copies of bank statements, with a branch stamp on them.

Has to have the individual banks full address.

Give them proper pdf's that fulfill those requirements. Print the email from bookings. Print the bank statements. You can join multiple pdfs into one pdf.

You have booked under booking.com, go to the booking confirmation page, which contain hotel name, date check-in, check-out, your name, just export it to PDF version

they are asking for two things, the receipt showing your name, the hotel name and address and the dates that you are staying . only one night is needed. and a bank statement, so log in and download it . its red, if you have not done it correctly
Ashley ********
it doesnt ,, it asks for address for stay,, so you just send them the copy of your hotel for one night,, I have done it every year for decades.. even asked them,, they told me,, one night needed only, its red because its not been done correctly .. maybe your name was not on it, or no address,, it also asks for phone number, but many hotels do not give it,, so i put zero.. it still excepted
Tony ********
Ashley Smithe if it’s only one night needed, o why’s it ask u if staying other places and goes red if it’s not covering 60days stay for tourist visa of 60days?

You haven't given any clue as to the type of Visa you are applying for ?Different visas require different documents and evidence..

They ask a lot of people to re-send the same documents again because either A they didn't see the documents because they're too lazy to scroll or B to confirm the documents' legitimacy by asking for updated ones, with "today's" date.

Download email booking reservation they sent you with your name on it and send it through. They don't want a screenshot of what you booked with no personal information

Did you give them the full 3 months of bank statements?

And a hotel reservation showing your name?

It's pretty clear to me what they're asking for...

The “visa” application process reflects an endless number of complaints and realistically it does nothing to prevent overstayers by making a very complicated process of entering multiple stays of accommodation for genuine tourists!
Peter ********
Peter ********
It’s pretty clear what they ask. YOUR NAME is in capslock, maybe the name on the booking or the invitation letter isn’t the same as the one on your passport?

And the bank statement you can often download one pdf with 3 months statement at your banking app. I used my savings account instead of my debit account because it has less transactions so less pages.

Peter Slaman seriously, it’s pretty clear? This is absolutely ridiculous. You most certainly do not need anything but your name and (maybe passport number). Go to Expedia or better yet, Agoda.

You can’t read the red letters? Is very clear what they ask there. If that’s too difficult than I feel for you.

Peter Slaman caps lock is a breach of common law.

Karl Hopkins that’s why I said maybe. Couldn’t hurt if he/she checked their name on the booking and their passport.
Shea *******
Shea *******
Peter Slaman yes, there name is not on the booking and there banking information is old.

OP
Shea April bank info was last month they have asked for 15 days
Shea *******
Shea *******
Heidi Mikulla yes that is old.

Your banking information must be current, no less than 15 days old. I've also seen one week old.

You jeed to show the last three months of banking information starting as close to the application date as possible.

Heidi Mikulla no they want to see that amount in your account consistently for 3 months

It's not uncommon to be asked again for the same information, just supply what they ask for
