Did you try first to contact the embassy and ask for the reason and the error that was supposedly in your application?

Anonymous participant 875 no I didn't - have people had success doing this? I haven't heard of anyone who was told the reason for their application not being granted.

Are you waiting for them to tell you? You'll be waiting forever. Give them a call or send them an email.

did you get an email from them or just the automated update from the e-system? If just the automated update, you should also be receiving an email (maybe tomorrow) and it might say the reason why. They are usually up front on why an application is canceled, it is when it is rejected that they often don’t tell you. Cancelations, can be due to applying to an embassy that you are not allowed to apply via or also very common, spelling error in the passport information that you supplied. Also adding a middle name that one has but isn’t on their passport, or if you got your passport issued while overseas, listing the embassy or that city/country as where it was issued, can all lead to cancelations.

I’d wait a few weeks and then apply for the visa through an agency under the Soft Power program. It’s much easier and saves you a lot of headaches.

If it was canceled (not rejected) it means there was an error in your application or you applied at a location that you couldn’t. If there was an issue with your business, that most likely would have been a rejection, not a cancellation. Did you check to see if you could even apply through that embassy? Most Thai embassies, outside the neighboring counties, require you to be a citizen or have residency in that country to apply there. Did you check to see if they required that in Kazakhstan and so you had that?

DTV_BegPecker from what I found online and what the application requested from that embassy, it seemed as though it was fine to apply there as a tourist.

It's unfortunate they don't let you know why it's cancelled. When I resubmitted my proof of location I showed my initial hotel booking where I was when I applied, then a friend's name, address and phone number that I have been staying with for the week and followed with another hotel booking confirmation starting on June 16th. I also included an explanation letter with why I was staying at various places.

Well, it would make the most sense for why your application was canceled

did you only show hotel bookings or did you also show the visa, passport stamps, photos of yourself in front of a recognizable landmark and a dated newspaper/receipt?

Anonymous participant 875 yes all that. Flight stub, passport stamp, hotel selfie, tourist selfie. No newspaper or dated receipt though.

Was your application cancelled or rejected? Cancelled implies there was an issue with your biodata.

canceled. The email only read ' Your visa application has been cancelled.'

This was after the 2 follow up documents were submitted.
