How long should I wait to reapply for a visa after two rejections?

Visa Rejection Thailand Visa Soft Power Visa Digital Nomad Visa Visa Application Process Expat Advice

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone, I’d like to ask something.

I’ve already applied twice and was rejected both times (the first time under the freelance work category, and the second time under soft power).

My question is: how long should I wait before applying again? And is it true that if you get rejected the first time, it’ll be harder to get approved in the next attempts?

Thank you so much for all your comments!

You gave us three pieces of information, rejected, soft power, and digital nomad. With zero details. If you want real advice lay out everything you provided in your submissions including which embassies, type of course, course length, which provider, and whatever experience and proof you provided for your digital nomad submission.

You can apply immediately after rejection. Is this a wise thing to do only you can answer.

Was it rejected or cancelled? There's a difference and it matters.

You may have overlooked or misinterpreted one or more of the criteria and that’s why you’re getting rejected.

For DTVs I never recommend an agent, but maybe use a trusted one so they verify your info.

But tbh.. if you’ve been rejected twice it’s not looking promising for you 🙏

What country is your passport from?

Where did you apply?

Have you considered consulting with an agent even if you don’t use their services?

Its probably because you didn't understand the reason you got rejected the first time and tried to do the same again. There is pretty straight forward requirements and if you don't need them or know how to fill in a form, you better pay someone to do it for you. Best guess I have is that you apply for another visa before and have it approved first. I.e tourist visa
