Why was it turned down after having these requirements to get an IB Visa?
Non-Immigrant Type IB (investing or working in a BOI registered company)
Letter from Thailand's Board of Investment (BOI)
Letter confirming employment details from an employer
Financial evidence e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings, proof of sponsorship from a third party
