DTV Applicants from UAE - Called for in person interview

I just received an email to visit the consulate for an interview. They were nice enough to give me options for dates to choose from.

Has anyone from the UAE been to one recently? I would just like to know what is being asked, so that I can prep for them in anticipation.

Thank you
Answer summary
A user has been called for an in-person interview at the Thai consulate regarding their DTV visa application from the UAE and seeks advice on what to expect. Comments indicate that during the interview, officials may check documents, ask about the applicant's work situation, and confirm their presence in the country. It is suggested to bring essential documents like the passport and Emirates ID, as well as a copy of the trade license and NOC if applicable. The overall tone suggests that if everything is in order, the interview should be straightforward.

They'll all of your docs, and ask question about what you do. Nothing special actually. Sometimes they ask people to come randomly JUST to see if people are really in the country.

Participant(e) anonyme yes no worries. Actually if you have nothing to hide, you just go, answers the questions and that's it. Oh one time I think it was in Jakarta or Ho Chi Minh I don't remember they asked to see the account online to check it. But still, if you have everything in order, it's like 10 or 15min meetings
