I received my Destination Thailand Visa through the embassy in Berlin yesterday. It was applied for on September 3rd, so it took just under a working week for processing. There were no follow-up questions; everything went through smoothly.

I am employed in Germany and work remotely (online editor).

For the issuance, I submitted:

- Copy of my passport

- Photo

- Proof of residence (a national ID card would have sufficed)

- Address in Thailand (any hotel; they didn't ask to see a booking confirmation)

- Flight date (they didn't ask to see a booking confirmation)

- Proof of funds (I submitted a four-week-old savings account statement with a balance of 13,500 euros, which was accepted without any issues)

- Employment contract with permission to work from Thailand
