sorry, wasn't clear. Some people have commented that they ask for copies of all passport pages, one person mentioned in "dated" photos, also randomly call people for interviews and that sort of stuff.

@Matthew ********
that's supposed to be one of the better embassies to use. They are also strict with passport pages and proof of entry but easy enough if in the area.

@Stephen *******
that's incorrect and can, in some cases, result in your application being cancelled and loss of the visa fee. You are supposed to apply in the country that you are physically located in. They can and have asked people to come in for interviews, proof of location and copies of passport pages.

do a search through this group, expand your horizons and search through some of the numerous other Thai Visa groups. Head to Reddit to the numerous subs and search. The posts are out there. As mentioned, sometimes with little to no info as to prior entry, etc which may impact why they were asked.

We've returned twice on our DTV and have yet to be required to show anything other than our boarding pass and visa. It's entirely random if you'll be questioned or not so best idea is to be prepared with your documents.

and
@Jared ********
many people have reported being questioned on re-entry and having to show documents like contracts, bank info, etc. Wasn't always clear what the past entry history was though and if that affected anything.

so you take your passport, your tm30 and go to your nearest immigration office. You fill out the form for 90 day report, hand it all in and you'll get a document showing it as filed. You'll need to keep that if you decide to do an extension. Once you have your visa, the embassy is no longer involved.
Helen ********
Depends on what embassy you apply through and if they request any additional informations. All have different timelines.

@Kellie *******
check with the embassy you'll apply through as they are all a little different.
