What is the process and requirements for obtaining a DTV visa from the Royal Thai Embassy in Berlin?

Now that there are more and more reports on the Internet about difficulties in applying for the DTV, perhaps something uplifting: the approval by the Royal Thai Embassy in Berlin, Germany was “painless”.

The requirements were exactly as described by the embassy on their website:

- Scan front and back of identity card

- Scan data page passport

- Planned outbound and return flight date and flight number outbound flight

- Current passport photo

- Accommodation details

- Scan of bank statement showing a balance of at least 500,000 baht

- Scan of business registration

2 documents were not of the required quality and had to be exchanged. That was it.

In other words: at least in my case, I can only say thank you for the quick and correct work of the embassy.

I wish everyone else the same luck.
