TLDR : Answer Summary
The waiting time for resubmitting a rejected visa application can vary. Many commenters shared experiences suggesting immediate resubmission is possible, especially if the rejection was due to technical errors like spelling mistakes. Some users mentioned applying again within hours or the next day. However, it's advisable to thoroughly address any issues pointed out in the rejection before reapplying.

If your rejection due to a spelling error, a number or something technical, you can apply again right away.

I did after 1hour. My rejection was due to 1 missing letter from last name šŸ˜†

Did the embassy tell you why they rejected your application?

The Thai Embassy website’s explicit tell’s that no reason will be given.

So good idea to read it thoroughly, before thinking about applying.

It has also been repeated numerous times in this group.

Doesn't matter how many times and who repeats this nonsense. It remains nonsense. Paying via a Western country credit card provides the applicant with recourse.

Embassy can state whatever they wish upon their website. However, by advertising a service and accepting payment to provide it they have a duty of customer care. There have been recent postings of Embassies stating their reason for cancellation/rejection. If the applicant believes their reason is incorrect they should email stating such and asking for a review. If they refuse or fail to supply a reason then a chargeback via bank/credit card company is justified and probably will be successful in reclaiming the application fee.

not a Wise Decision to challenge the 10,000 Thai baht fee with your bank.

I would agree if someone has ties to Thailand. However, if a digital nomad who could go anywhere, I would try to get my money back and give Thailand a miss.

agreed šŸ‘. If no further plans to live in Thailand as base of digital nomad operations.

That is not how things work in Thailand, almost every service and item you pay for is non-refundable.

And you don’t have the same rights to Complaints, as in western countries.

If a civil servant has made a decision, that decision stands.

If people don’t make the small effort, to inform themselves, at The Embassy Website, which is a must read, then it is their own fault.

The Embassy has done their part of the work and spend time processing the application, and should rightfully have their fee for that.

If the applicant not even can put their passport data right, then it is their own fault, they loose their visafee.

If the applicant then chooses to apply again, then the Embassy of course has to be payed again for their work.

You probably also want to be payed, if you do the same job again twice.

You make a great case for always paying with a UK/Euro/US credit card where Western service standards apply. Good example yesterday where a lady received an error message but it didn't say what the error was. By trial and error she discovered the input screen didn't like the hyphen in her surname. Her application was then cancelled because her input name didn't match her passport! She lost her application fee. The embassy hadn't spend any time 'processing' her first application because it was cancelled prior to human input.
