I applied in ho chi minh - it was fast. My husband got hos in 5 days and I got my dependant in 6 days. We used this: dtvagent.com to prepare our applications. Cheaper than agent. can recommend!

London was straightforward and quick - but obviously I don’t know how it compares because I only applied once!

I think you are correct. I had no problems at all in the USA while in the USA. If I were a Thai IO in a nearby country and a application came in with a foreign passport for a soft power DTV, I also would be suspicious.

I've done the non imm o a few times. Again London was great but the exact one that I used doesn't exist any more (OX?) the non imm o multi now requires medical and police check. The latter is easy but the medical is problematic in UK

I've seen some reports that Jakarta was a good experience lately. Though Vietnam seems to be quite popular, probably due to how close it is.

did they ask your bank statement?

no they asked me for details of accommodation in Thailand during my stay. They requested this 4 times and 4 times I forwarded the same info. On the 5th occasion I ignored the request and they sent me a visa by email arriving one day after my arrival in Thailand. I faced a lot of questions at DMK, they eventually gave me 60 days exemption. When I visited the IO to get TM30 I showed them the screenshots of my experience. They admitted it was strange behaviour from the Jakarta embassy. To add insult to injury the visa exempt stamp for 60 days cancels out my visa for 90 days . So money I paid lost.
