Personally, i do not think it is about the Thai Embassy in Vientiane making South Koreans, Malaysians, Singaporeans, Tunisians paying the DTV E–Visa Fee of ฿10,000.- Baht, but more about whether as part of the Biilateral Agreement between Thailand and the other country whether the DTV E–Visa falls under the Visa Fee Exemption Agreement or not between the 2 countries....

Here in this Facebook Group about DTV, there have been 2 successful reports about Malaysian passport holders applying for DTV at the Thai Embassy/Consulate in Malaysia and received the Thai Visa Fee Exemption of RM ∅ Zero Ringgit for their DTV.

However, a Singapore passport inquired several times with the Thai Embassy in Singapore and received an email response saying that the DTV Visa was excluded from the Agreement between Singapore and Thailand. And, a recent Singapore passport holder obtained a DTV E–Visa from the Thai Embassy in Singapore paying the Visa Fee of SGD $500.-

You can certainly apply at the Thai Embassy in Vientiane or the Thai Consulate in Savannnakhet and as you go to the Thai Embassy/Consulate in person to potentially pay cash for the DTV E–Visa Fee of ฿10,000 Baht, you can certainly ask about the Bilateral Visa Fee Exemption between South Korea and Thailand, and if it applies for the DTV, then you can potentially get a DTV E–Visa for Zero, or, if not, then still wish to apply for a DTV E–Visa at the cheapest Thai Embassy/Consulate in the world (Laos) or not....

The easiest answer is:

Login to the Thai eVisa website and fill out an application for a DTV at a Thai Embassy/Consulate that accepts payment via the Thai eVisa website and see whether the price is ∅ Zero or not. You do NOT have to actually Submit an E–Visa application to see the price of the DTV E–Visa....

yeah, 5k Baht in the smallest "Big City" of ASEAN doesn't stretch as far as it used to....

@Yicheng ****

Thanks for the DTV E–Visa Fee Payment information!

Was hoping you were able to take advantage of the benefits of the Bilateral Visa Fee Exemption Agreement between Singapore and Thailand, like Malaysia and Thailand, but, unfortunately, apparently the DTV E–Visa Fee is excluded for Singapore!

Congratulations!

Perhaps the missing text of the email said that the Monday appointment was wrong and it was actually today, Friday 🤣🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@Yicheng ****

How much did was your DTV Visa Fee?? How much did you pay for the DTV Visa Fee on the Thai eVisa website??

@Phirom ********

Where was this specific Land Border?? Poipet ( อรัญประเทศ /Aranyaprathet)??

@Angelo **********

Why are we insisting on trying to make an emphasis about the type/class/category of visa a DTV is classified as?

The most succinct translation from Thai to English would be "special tourist visa" as published in Thailand's Royal Gazette

There are real consequences that have nothing to do with Thailand, Thailand MFA, DCA, or the particular Thai Embassy/Consulate where a Thai E–Visa application was submitted, such as first-party fraud, chargeback blacklists for false chargeback claims, and credit score damage from false chargeback claims, but again,

up to you 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Current State DMV Driver Licence/ID;

Recent Utility Bills: Electricity, Water, Natural Gas, Trash, Sewage, Telephone, Cable, etc.;

Recent Paystubs showing full name and current address;

Current Lease Agreement /Contract of current location, or Recent Mortgage Payments of current location;

probably easier to ask in this Facebook Group: "if i have a/b/c document, then has anyone used a/b/c document as proof of address/location, etc. etc."

You will be providing Recent Bank Statements for that 500k Baht, and hopefully, has the same address as your current address, but doesn't necessarily have to be (up to the specific Thai Embassy/Consulate, even Thai Consular Official reviewing your Thai E–Visa application)....

Well, for the many years, decades even, of the have stayed and are staying in Thailand on Marriage Extensions, Retirement Extensions, Taking Care of a Thai Citizen Child Extensions, etc. all (nearly 80) local Thai Immigration Offices are very specific and precise about the minimum amount in a bank account (400k Baht, 800k Baht) for minimum and specific periods of time (seasoning of funds) in usually one(1) single bank account (e.g. if a joint name account, then usually Double the minimum amount would need to apply)....

Thus, not surprising that the funds requirement was rejected because of using 2 bank accounts, instead of one single bank account....
