What steps did you take to successfully obtain your Thai visa in Ankara after facing initial rejection?

Question

Approved in Ankara from the second attempt.

Attempt no. 1
Applied on February 11 and waited until March 22 just to get "Wrong place of passport issuance". 
So, I lost $400 for indicating an authority and not my home country. They require your country name and not an authority.

Attempt no. 2
Applied on March 27, approved on April 5.
Work:
I'm a freelancer, so I created a long PDF with my portfolio, Terms of Service of one of the platforms, a letter from one of my customers allowing me to work remotely.

Residence:
I uploaded my Turkish residence permit, my rental agreement, and Turktelekom bill to confirm my address in Turkey.

Finances:
I uploaded a fresh bank statement (no stamps, just downloaded it from the app) for theast 3 months.

No additional requests. 
Pending approval on April 4.
Approved on April 5.

I wanted to make their work easy, so I prepared 3 PDFs with tables of content and I decided not to add excessive documents.

The writer shares their experience applying for a visa in Ankara, detailing a rejection on the first attempt due to incorrect information regarding the passport issuance authority, leading to a financial loss of $400. They successfully reapplied by providing a detailed portfolio, proof of residency, and a bank statement, ultimately receiving approval without any additional requests.

Interesting. Typically on forms I put U.S. Department of State because I thought that's what they want, and so far no problems with other types of forms. So I'm curious what the difference is here. Your passport is another country so not sure what is on it. But, does that mean I need to write just "United States"? If so I'm taking note for later.

It's more than ridiculous that they don't explain and let you fix it instead of just taking your money.

I got approved in Ankara and indicated the name of the authority. The authority has the name of the country in its name though, maybe it made a difference.
