I have a funny feeling a made a big fopar when submitting my application today. I changed hotel here in laos and just realised that I only put the name of the hotel and location Vientiane ,laos without the exact address ( dumb in know) and no way of editing now. I have uploaded my financals 6 month with more than is required and supported documents and everything is in order. I'm just debating whether or not to let the 14 days expire before I have to reaply. I have uploaded my visa and stamp for proof but I don't want to waste the10000 baht and have to start again regardless.
Can anyone recommend a legal firm or agent that can answer some immigration questions that are a bit convoluted ? I need answers that are facts and not opinion. Prefer Krabi, Bangkok or Los Angeles. Thanks much. "Siam Legal" emailed me the "very helpful" "Contact a Thai Immigration office".
Greetings and thanks for allowing me in your group. Maybe somebody can help with an issue I’m having. I fill out my DTV application online and everything is fine. That is until I go to pay the fee🤷🏻♂️
Every time I try to pay the application fee, it gives some kind of error message saying not accepted or canceled? I have used three different web browsers and five different credit cards and nothing works..
I have called my credit card companies and they say there are no problems with my cards such as fraud, and calling the Thai embassy here in America they say their website is working fine
I have checked my information over and over again and everything is correct. Last year with the regular E visa I had no problems at all. Can anybody clarify what might be the issue outside of everything I already verified above that is not the issue?
Has anyone here ever herd of a "visa application pending approval" for past time? ie You just submitted a visa for the time of december 2023 - december 2024
Rejected application due to DOB typo via E-Visa LA. Be careful, they really wanted that non-refundable application fee over a pity mistake. Entered the month/date backwards. Proper waste of 13k baht innit. My 4 forms of identification clearly show my DOB or my previous approved E-Visas. Smh…
I’m confused on what I should put on my E Visa application for accommodation. Outside my Thai house I have a paper sign that says 19/1 Soi 5 and another sign that says 19/5 that is engraved and my TM30 says House 19 Village 15. On my online purchases like Bolt, Makro, Lazada my address says 19/1 Soi 5
And lastly on google maps says my address is 19 Soi 5
Why is Thailand address so confusing?
Which one is correct to put on my E-Visa application?
DTV Soft Power Rejected (Sport Training), Phnom Penh Embassy
- USA Passport
- 1 week waiting time
- When i applied, they accepted all documents and $400 USD within literally 1 minute.
- ZERO explanation for rejections and they don’t respond to questions either. They just repeat Thailand rejected it.
- At no point did they contact me and request additional documents, an interview, etc.
- Visa fee thankfully refunded
Documents provided:
- 1 month bank statement dated end of August: $18,000 balance (~600k THB)
- 6 months brokerage statement dated end of August: Average balance $200,000 over 6 months (~7,000,000 THB)
Letter stamped and signed from my badminton club stating the following:
- I am a former member
- ALREADY PAID for 4-month Unlimited Membership AND 8 Private Coaching sessions
- Official receipt showing amount paid, start and end dates of my membership.
Now I’ve literally wasted money for the badminton sport training. Btw i am a former semi-professional badminton player so it’s not like this is some random choice.
What are my options? Repeat the process at a different embassy? Is there a waiting period until one can re-apply?
Currently in Penang Malaysia applying for a DTV and these people are horrible human beings. They had me return back there 4 different times, each time asking for a different document outside the required documents on the requirement list.
They are asking that I have a signed house lease in Thailand. Also a certified bank statement (which I have never heard) I called my US bank and they said there is no such thing. The letter from my US company that is on a company letter head and signed. They said it needs to be stamped.
At this point I’m done with Thailand, their immigration is too arrogant and racist for my taste.
How do I report this to their superiors and to those who got a DTV, did you have to submit a certified bank statement?
REJECTED DTV VISA FROM THAILAND EMBASSY in Myanmar —UNBELIEVABLE!
I’m beyond frustrated! Just had my DTV Thailand visa REJECTED by the Thailand Embassy in Myanmar because my employment contract isn’t registered with the local labor office. Seriously? In Myanmar, most companies only use internal contracts and don’t go through the labor office for registration. Now, I’m stuck
I tried incognito n eventually I was able to tame captcha n I hit submit button to get on the portal n this message came up n I had seen that this morning as well.
