I'm in a similar situation. Just got asked for an interview which takes place after 10 days. Can you dm me pls? I got some questions for you if u don't mind sharing
no, 10k is NEVER refundable for whatever reason. ALL the embassies require 500k, that's probably the strictest things they care about. There is no embassy that will accept a dtv without 500k.
you can do a research on this page, I forgot about it. I just remember that those who have shown crypto, stocks and investements they've often gold denied cuz the embassies just want to see the cash in you bank account. Sometimes they even complained cuz the cash was split in 2 different accounts even tho it still was over 500k in total...
baht then you can take the risk. Most of embassies want to see the money sitting in the bank under your name, some even want them to sit in your account for several months before applying. That's one of the requirements they care the most, some folks who had investments, stocks and crypto for showing over 6 figures got denied for the reason I mentioned above
not true at all, embassies require documents in English or Thai. I would use google lens to translate those documents into English and send them both copies
