After 12 years and 50+ entries in Thailand on a visa exemption, I now want to apply for a Non immigrant O visa for the first time. My question: Are there any differences between the Thai Embassy in The Hague or the consulate in Amsterdam? The websites are different and I wonder what the experiences are like per location?

But with regard to income, it is always about people who have verifiable income (pay slips as a worker / employee or pensioners), whose official papers go together with the amounts deposited into the account. Nowhere do I read what information I have to provide as a self-employed person.
