Anonymous participant depends if you're applying for soft power or work cation

@John ********
definitely wrong answer, definitely loose your application fee and need to reapply
Steffen *****************
Like Andi said depends on consulate you’re applying from.

Definitely smoothest process and easiest approval rate is 6 months, the generic rule is 6 months across the board

Anonymous participant yeah just got a client approved in 5 days in Vietnam.

But also heavily depends on application if it’s bulletproof proof it goes a lot faster.

An example with my client:

I knew we would get requested for full passport pages, income clarification and email confirmation from the soft power company.

I made sure everything was ready as fast as possible when the request came through.

Yup majority of people gets this requested in additional documentation to make sure the person is still in country and haven’t left back to Thailand although I haven’t tried to process one where they have uploaded it from the start

Recently had this with a client of mine I outlined their plans for immersion in Thai culture and explained their financial perspective. Provide them what your plans are.

Also what type of soft power are you planning to do?

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you want further explanation.

Anonymous participant 632 what documents did you provide them with? Appears they want a lot of documents all around for Work actions
Steffen *****************
Have changed rapidly recently

due to the amount of applications used to be roughly 5 day turnaround now more like 14-21 days, based on personal clients recent experiences.

@Jeremy *******
not necessarily but the thought process goes like this:

A DTV visa is a tourist visa and therefore you shouldn’t have a Thai bank account.
