ORIGINAL POSTERI applied for my dtv 2 days ago in Germany, Frankfurt and today I saw they not only charged me the regular price for the visa but also 45,99€ extra costs for whatever. Additionally there are another 45,99€ reserved payments in my bank account. Anyone know what that’s for? I tried calling them but no one answers the phone though I called during office hours.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user reported unexpected charges associated with their Thai visa application in Germany. They noticed an additional fee of 45,99€ alongside the standard €350 charge. Community members suggested potential reasons for the extra costs, including possible bank fees for overseas transactions, concerns over potential card details compromise, and a warning to verify the authenticity of the visa application website.

Who is "they"? The embassy? Or some random entity?

From your other comments I would say most likely your card details have been compromised. Did you make any other payments with this card ? Do you use a virtual card number online ?

Talk to your bank and card company about the strange transaction.

Maybe your bank is charging you some extra fees as it's an overseas payment? Check with your bank.

there is a payment for 358€ (don’t know where the additional 8€ come from but I don’t mind them) from kasikorn bank Hong Kong too. But when u click on the transaction it was taken in by Landesbank Hessen, which is the same bank that took the other too payments, although the description is some weird numberReply to
