Now that there are more and more reports on the Internet about difficulties in applying for the DTV, perhaps something uplifting: the approval by the Royal Thai Embassy in Berlin, Germany was “painless”.
The requirements were exactly as described by the embassy on their website:
- Scan front and back of identity card
- Scan data page passport
- Planned outbound and return flight date and flight number outbound flight
- Current passport photo
- Accommodation details
- Scan of bank statement showing a balance of at least 500,000 baht
- Scan of business registration
2 documents were not of the required quality and had to be exchanged. That was it.
In other words: at least in my case, I can only say thank you for the quick and correct work of the embassy.
I wish everyone else the same luck.
