Anonymous participant than you are fine my man. I dont have much info about shanghai but i think you should have applied in Hanoi/Jakarta as those seem to have expedited visa processes. Well nothing you can do now. Give it a couple of days and if you are in the area go and knock at their doors it wont hurt your application. In my case i applied at Hanoi and due to thr volume of applications they dont seem to answer emails or at least that was my case . Shanghai im sure is a different story. Good luck 🙏

The cover letter is an introduction of yourself as of why you want this visa. Its your best friend if you dont want an interview. Its good to have it when you apply for any visa not just thailand. Remember you are not there only your documents so i would include it . Stay simple show them what they are looking for and you will get the visa 🙏

Congratulations. I experienced the same treatement last week. They want us here otherwise they would not have this visa. Enjoy thailand 🇹🇭🙏

Looking at your timeline i can see no problem with your application. If i had to guess the embassy i would say its saigon. They are the ones who seem lately interested on “ all pages in your passport”. At this point you application is waiting to be analyzed by a senior officer with adjutication capabilities. Not all officers have this cleareance thus the extra days you are currenly experiencing. Looking at an old passport does not seem logical to me at this point as that document is voided/cancelled and cant be considered for the application. But it can happen . It all depends on the officer but if you submitted everything else they wanted i think you should be fine. All the best 🙏

I applied last week for my wife . We had 1 million im almost positive is 500k per dependent . As per the children i cannot confirm because we dont have 🙏

Anonymous participant check my application . I recently applied at Hanoi. You can wait a bit to have all the documents . Apply only when you are ready. You might get lucky and 3 month might be enough. But if you want to take the business owner route i will wait for the 6 month paystubs. Hope this helps

You either can support yourself or someone must support you. As a worstation you are expected to have a business that is profitable and thus can sponsor your application. A business has money throughout the year and not just the last few month. They want to see CONTINOUS INCOME 6 month of paystubs a business account and a balance over 500k at the end of the last billing cycle of your bank statements in your personal account .If you dont have the financials in line take the soft route as a student where a sponsor is expected. The moment you start asking yourself if you qualify or deviate from these 2 scenarios the moment the embassy will ask you to provide more documents to justify your story. STAY SIMPLE and straight to the point and you will ge this visa . Hope this helps 🙏

@Haram *****

if you are a student than a sponsor will fit in the equation to satisfy the financial requirement. The thais could care less who has the money as long as it is seasonal and IT COMES FROM OUTSIDE THAILAND. For remote worker they want your income to be your sponsor. If you dont have this established than i will tell you STILL TO GO THE SOFT ROUTE. You are a student and someone is sponsoring you . Stay simple and you will get the visa🙏
