Sorry if my question has been already asked but I can't find it.

TLDR : Answer Summary
If your visa for Thailand is rejected, you can reapply immediately. However, it is advisable to review your application and understand the reasons for the rejection before reapplying. Some commenters suggest that applying at a different embassy or using different documentation may increase your chances of success.

I havent tried yet, my question was "just in case" because it might be too late to apply now, and I have to start my trip in a couple of weeks around SEA. I think I will go with tourist visa or will try from one of the countries I will be visiting

If I've been rejected once, would it be better to apply to another city in the same country? Or would it be better to apply to a different country altogether?

I waited 1minute before opening a new application. The embassy told me my application was ok, but it was missing 1 letter from my last name 😅

LOL, apply right away and loose the money again?

First find out WHY your application is denied, get the correct documents and than apply again using them.

You can apply right away, best to review your application first, seek a second opinion on it to try and find out why you were rejected

you can reapply right away. However i do not recommend you reapply from the same embassy because it will be the same set of staffs who rejected your application that will be reviewing your new application again. If you reapply with all same docs with the same embassy it is high chance that you can get rejected again

I often read people applying from other countries like Vietnam or Laos, rather than their native country. Do you think they apply online there and wait for the interview?
