Including the official embassy visa fee?

@Stéfan *******

Most probably yes, but this case is somewhat special. At least a bit of re-arranging/elaborating was necessary here.

@Wannikea ********

The OP actually knows where their application was weak. Provided "uncredible employment documents" 🫠. This remark was on their soon-to-be-canceled visa too. OP first sent documents which were not adequate. After a request for further documents, OP added documents which contained the disclaimer: "this document has no legal value" and no other document/explanation. The document was actually OK, but this mention is standard and it definitely made a bad impression. OP should have sent another one, or at least provide clarification.

Your first step should be to check if they cater to non-residents...

@Greg *******

I know it too, have worked with an embassy.

@Tom **********

If it were the other way around, they probably wouldn't admit it though...

@Greg *******

The case was so serious that some senior official had to jump in.

Participant(e) anonyme The DTV visa usually has the remark "Employment prohibited". That could be an issue for them too.

Typical. One is supposed to deposit funds in a Thai bank for non-imm extensions, yet they make it difficult for you to open a Thai bank account. One is supposed to file returns, yet the revenue service will give you various reasons for not issuing a TIN.
