TLDR : Answer Summary
The post details a Pakistani national's experience of applying for a Thai visa online through the Washington DC Embassy, starting on October 25, 2024. The required documents included a passport, bank statements for the last three months, and a driver license. Additional documentation was requested on October 31, which included a US visa and a company letter. The visa was granted and received via email on November 4, 2024. The comments provide further inquiries about residency status in the US, the process for applying from other states, the necessity of a deposit, the concept of soft power in the application, and the evidence of bank transactions needed for the application.

Are we required to show several months of bank transactions? I thought just a one monthly statement showing 500k baht.

I’ll be applying evisa to DC for workation.
