What should I do if an embassy asks for payslips after I applied?
Respond to the exact request and resubmit the requested documents clearly. If the applicant does not have payslips, the file needs alternative evidence that explains income or work status without making the embassy guess.
What applicants reported
Several reports involve extra document requests where applicants had already submitted something similar. The pattern is to answer the request directly, not argue that the document was already provided.
What to prepare
- Upload the requested document if available.
- If unavailable, provide the closest official alternative with a short explanation.
- Resubmit the full requested packet if the embassy asks for all documents again.
Important caution
Ignoring the exact wording of a document request can create avoidable rejection risk.

How to use this page
Embassy Asked for Payslips? | DTV Q&A is written for people preparing a Thailand Destination Thailand Visa file, including applicants and Thai helpers supporting someone else. Use it as a preparation check before submitting documents, not as a promise that an embassy will approve a specific case.
If an embassy asks for payslips after submission, answer that exact request with clear documents or a short explanation of alternatives. The practical goal is to make the applicant's route, funds, identity documents, and supporting evidence easy for a reviewer to understand.
What to check before relying on it
Read this page alongside the latest embassy instructions for the place where the applicant will apply. DTV practice can differ by post, and public reports are best used as preparation signals. A stronger file usually makes the applicant's category clear, shows funds in a readable way, explains unusual bank activity, and avoids mismatched names, dates, or document versions.
If a Thai friend, partner, assistant, or agent is helping, they can use these notes to translate requirements into a simple document checklist. The applicant should still confirm official rules, because DTVCheck is a preparation tool and not an embassy decision maker.
