DTV Visa from the Los Angeles Consulate

I am a freelance photographer with a history of visiting Thailand visa exempt and with single-entry tourist visas.

I applied on August 25th for DTV Workcation as a freelance photographer on the evisa website of the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles. I uploaded the following documents, each on signed in blue ink, as a multiple-page PDF:

1. LLC organization document issued by Secretary of State’s office.

2. Tax ID number document issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

3. Company annual report for 2023 certified by the state Secretary of State’s office

4. Portfolio of photographic work in the form of my website

5. Artistic resume listing exhibitions and publications where my work has appeared

6. Letter on company letterhead stating that I am able to take all the time I need to photograph in Thailand.

7. Most recent brokerage statement.

8. Copy of state driver’s license.

9. Recent passport photo.

10. Biodata page from passport.

On September 17th, the Thai consulate requested that I upload a company profile.

On September 18th, I uploaded the company profile as instructed.

On September 19th, I was notified of DTV Visa approval.

Fasted turn around you've seen for getting a tourist visa online (from USA)?

Has anyone had challenges with the Los Angeles Thai Consulate regarding eVisas? They are difficult to get on the phone and will not answer questions via email, only repeat (verbatim) what they've already said. I'm guessing I'm not the only one with these issues, so I'm checking to see.

Non Immigrant Type O-A visa question; I'm preparing to head down to Los Angeles in a few weeks to visit the Thai Consulate for the visa. The info' on their website requests a police report. I went to our local Live Scan service office and there are so many options available from full blown fingerprinting, Dept of Justice and FBI checks to DMV checks. Will a clearance letter from my local Sheriffs office suffice? Curious to hear from anyone that's gone through this process recently out of the L.A. Thai Consulate. Thanks.
