Answer summary
A user shared that the Thai embassy in London requested additional documents after they had initially submitted their application with three months of bank statements. Other users commented on their own experiences, explaining that the London embassy has been known for altering requirements and responsiveness. They suggested providing the documents requested along with a cover letter explaining the situation, as these requests are fairly standard. Some comments noted that many embassies, including London, are becoming stricter with requirements and suggested that the user train their application to meet common expectations to improve chances of approval.

London is one of the easiest / most friendly

Seems like fairly standard stuff with clear explanations of what they want

It's all good, send what they are asking for and smile, sit back and wait

The reason your friends weren't asked is probably because they provided the information in advance with the application. These are the typical requirements of a Thai consulate located in a Western country. You would have it easier in Laos. The catch in Laos is that there is a mandatory interview where everyone is invited for an interview. But the interview was very fair and I was able to answer all the questions and I received my visa 10 minutes later.

Do your best to answer the questions posed... it's worth it to get the DTV visa now vs having to reapply elsewhere.

is this not all straightforward stuff that you should be able to provide? these all all stated requirements for the DTV so not sure why you didn't just submit them in the first place with your application. Use Chat GTP to assist you in the letters.

Sadly, London embassy slow and painful with many made up requirements. I.e. there is no requirement by the legal texts to even prove any monthly income transactions ... etc. I would not recommend that embassy. But not that you aready applied, your only option is to send them documents that come close to what they are asking for. Always ideally paired with a cover letter explaining your circumstances and the documents you enclosed.

what other embassy's would you say is easier to apply from and not as strict with all these requirements?

What London is requesting is required by all embassies. London is not difficult compared to others. Laos requires the 500k to be banked for 3 mths before applying, London only 10 days. Provide docs requested and extremely likely to be approved in London.

To be honest, many embassies are getting more difficult recently. Also, you can only apply with the embassy in the country where you are currently at. So, for most people that leaves their home country or (if they are already traveling in SEA) neighboring countries of Thailand. Hanoi used to be easy, but now people seem to be leaning more towards Laos - even though in person interviews common there.

From this and other posts there seems to be a general tightening up at some Embassies. You might just have fell foul of this while your pals got their DTV earlier.

A lot of those things though should have been submitted from the off. London though is more strict overall and doing more interviews.
