TLDR : Answer Summary
The experiences shared by users regarding the DTV application in Kuala Lumpur reveal a mixed bag of outcomes. One individual reported a rejection after multiple requests for additional documentation, highlighting the difficulties faced when applying. Another comment noted that the embassy could require an interview and may ask for more documents, while a friend of a user successfully obtained the visa. Overall, the process appears to be challenging and varies from case to case.

My friend did - got it

But KL would invite you for an interview and would ask more documents

thanks, I am happy to come in for an interview no problem, depending on the docs, I may, or may not have.

They just want to make sure you are not a headache - do not worry

Docs = bank statement , job contract and etc

Do not worry in general

kl is the strictest embassy to get approved from e.g 6 mths of booked accommodation,docs certified by your embassy, 500K THB seasoned for 3+6 months..Easier to apply in Indonesia, Vietnam, laos. Or Cambodia
