Regarding Guillermos successful and quick visa approval, I also went with self business owner, and I've been tracking in Excel those reporting approvals/denials and what they went with. From my crude data keeping, having your own business takes your chances of a fast approval WAY up above the other options. That's what I went with in Chicago and got a 3 day approval.
Answer summary
The conversation discusses the experiences of individuals obtaining fast visa approvals in Thailand, particularly for those applying as self-employed business owners. One user noted that their own business significantly improved their chances of quick approval, as they received their visa in just three days. There is also mention of ongoing data collection and concerns regarding embassy-specific requirements, highlighting the variability in processing times and documentation needed.

Im doing this route for Chicago. Do you have a definitive list to help speed it up? My biggest concern is I don’t usually keep that much cash liquid but I can deposit before applying.

It's great to gather data but each embassy is different and requirements are constantly changing.
