Clearly, they should allow you to add your middle name and not make you pay for the whole application process again, that is not fair

Yes, you have to put your middle name on the application, same thing with the airline companies, I was very lucky to get on a flight once when I didn’t put my middle name on my airline reservation, my middle name is clearly on my passport, I will never make that mistake again

@Wannikea ********

I think that is most of us, isn't it? I was greatly helped by this group, like most others

every embassy and consulate is different, you need to contact the one you are applying at for information

@Tuatini *******

I did not use cooking class, I didn’t really have to do anything, I just asked my dentist for a letter, with details stating what work I was going to be getting done, that was all I needed 

Anonymous participant wow I guess I’m lucky that I was able to apply in Canada, it was a very easy process. They even called me when there was a problem and helped me out, I couldn’t have asked for better service at the consulate in Vancouver Canada.

Anonymous participant took 2 days here in Canada, very easy and very fast, they are all going to E-Visa system soon

@Jared ********

I tried writing a letter, I own my own business and do all my work online, it did not work, I applied under "soft power activities" and was approved in 2 days, very easy, my wife got her DTV in 1 day

you can apply in your home country online, just make sure you are out of Thailand

I did not need any proof of a flight to Thailand at all, I did listed our flight number on the DTV application, as for bank account information I did not have the funds in a checkings/savings account, money is in a term deposit/CD, and is "cashable", this was all accepted with no issues at the Thai consulate in Vancouver BC. I applied online (all are going to online soon), I could have been anywhere in the world and it would have been fine, the only thing is you need to be out of Thailand (obviously), I think it is best to apply from your home country
