@Tore ********
yes 400 baht, 200 for the DL, and 200 to be able to buy a car.

I read here someone saying definitively that you could only get the CoR after getting the 90 day thing

oh you know I brought two passport size photographs with me and forgot to give it to them. They didn’t ask for them either. I wonder if I had given them to them, would they have given it to me on the spot? Man. That was a goof-up on my part. I thought the mailing-it-to-me-part had to do with verifying that I lived at the address I said I did. Oh well. Seven days isn’t too long. I can wait. Thanks for this tidbit.

Hey. No idea why they asked for an invitation letter because that goes against the whole idea of the DTV. Something is off for sure. They asked for 6 months’ bank statement so that’s what I gave them. I’ve always had well over the minimum requirement but I think they only want to see that you currently have it. Maybe make a trip over to Delhi to get one. Or write an email to the Thai Embassy in Delhi and explain this to them and see if they have any suggestions.

Yes, no, there was nothing special about it. It’s just I noticed it causes some anxiety so I thought I would share a success story. I only wanted it for a DL and to buy a car. I already have a Thai bank account.

I applied from New Delhi. It was straightforward for me. I submitted the application, a cover letter stating I can work from my laptop in Thailand, proof of having money, photo copy of passport, my company’s master data listing me as owner, and that was it. Oh and Rs 25,000 which is 10,000 Baht. And got it in 3 days. No questions asked. It was straightforward for me. Where are you applying from
