there are a few posts here by one individual that I always want to say "Billy, is that you?".

Vancouver. Every embassy has different requirements so check with the one you plan on using.

Yes, but the embassy we used needed the final amount to show 1mil THB.

5-10 business days. Requests for additional information reset the waiting period and be aware of holidays.

Search the group, there are numerous posts about success in HCMC with detailed information.

I would check the embassy site or email and ask them. Someone else posted this week about being asked for passport pages and other info from the Polish Embassy after they had left Poland.

the rule is there is no rule, never mind one that applies to all embassies. It varies per every embassy, it could be different if you are a citizen in the country you apply at or not and so many other factors so people need to check the site or contact the embassy they apply at.

Why does the doctor think it's a scam? Have you actually paid for the process? Where is the clinic? Do you know someone that can go take the photos for you? I'd ask if he can send it directly to the Thai embassy referring your name.

Anonymous participant you need to state what embassy you are applying at as it varies in every location. As David states, there is no set rule that is enforced by every single embassy. If you are embassy shopping, I'd narrow it down by what country is most convenient for you, then look for posts regarding that location. If applying in person, you can both apply at the same time. If applying online you need to submit your husband's DTV with your application so make sure you allow time for the two applications.

that's a grey area. Some embassies state that a person must remain in country until the visa is issued. Alvina Moskvinova needs to check the Polish embassy to see if that's stated on the site, if it's not might be fine.
