TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is frustrated after their Thai visa applications from Vancouver, Canada, were canceled twice, and they have a confirmed ticket and hotel. They possess a travel document instead of a passport and are seeking assistance at the Thai consulate in Vancouver. Many comments express confusion about traveling without a passport, offering advice, and suggesting the user directly consults the consulate for help.

A canadian travel document without a passport very likey indicates a refugee. A DTV although technically a tourist visa allows much longer residency. I think these two concepts are in conflict.

Get a passport from your country where you are a citizen. A Travel Document is not accepted. You have posted this before and been told before. The Thai authorities don’t care how many times you post on the internet - they don’t even read this.

Travel documents are usually restricted travel, they do qualify for short term entry but a 5 year visa ?? You would need to discuss with the embassy.

What the hell is travel documents

And you expect to give you the visa on your travel documents..

If you lack passport documents, I recommend countries that specialize in this, such as Germany, Great Britain, and France. These countries prioritize entry without documents.🤭

I'm confused 😕
Don't you need a passport to travel to another country, whether you have a visa or not?

why haven't you got a passport? So you are not Canadian? Did you come to Canada and throw your passport away and claim to be a refugee?

You should definitely go down to the Vancouver consulate. I'm just guessing that a travel document is probably only good enough for very limited travel such as to your home country or another country, and not really feasible to garner yourself a 5-year visa.

ORIGINAL POSTERAnonymous participant I just called them they said you need to apply again

Anonymous participant maybe you should hire Issa Compass to check your application. Cancelled twice means your biodata passport document didn't align with what you uploaded. Be aware that the OCR makes mistakes when it reads your bio data, triple check what it enters after you upload

So you’re a refugee or something? Your case sounds very specific , perhaps try to reach out to the embassy.

You need a passport.
