TLDR : Answer Summary
Recent experiences shared by users indicate that the HCM embassy is increasingly requesting income tax documentation for visa applicants, particularly those applying under their own business. One user noted the need for a six-month pay slip and accommodation proof, while another advised highlighting the tax amount from a company payment slip when resubmitting documents.
Seems more embassies are starting to follow KL's approval criteria now. An article in the Pattaya Mail suggested KL is the standard that all embassies are meant to follow.
Well there was some very light requirements given. It was a rushed vida at the suggestion of the head of MFA to the last PM whose had a policy of increasing visitor spend. I doubt very much it would have been approved by the current PM. Maybe the Thai MFA are like the FCDO where Ambassadors have regional meetings where they discuss items of common interest :-)
The tax is a strange one as it is not tax in Thailand but at least somewhere. This aligns with CRS and Thailands ambitions to join the OECD but this cannot be a coordinated policy regarding those.
