What are the chances of getting rejected for the DTV and losing the upfront payment?

DTV - Definitely Trial Visa

Bad visa history or fraudulent documents?

Survival bias. Rejection may be more often than you think. People get rejected probably wont post their experiences here since its probably their own fault.

I got my own from one my business and one for my friend Working remote my other business.

All very smooth. From the uk

What criteria aren’t you meeting when rejected? I mean, it’s pretty straight forward.

At the consulate in LA they are charging more than 10k and they make you pay first so it’s a concern haha 😂

Many people reach out to us daily with various reasons for their visa rejections.

One of the most common issues is applying from within Thailand without providing solid proof of residence outside the country. Another frequent problem is the failure to present a consistent bank account history of 3-6 months, though the strictness of these requirements can vary by embassy. If you have a older account then use it!

While we offer comprehensive support with DTV applications, please note that we cannot reverse a rejection. If your application is denied, the process must start over, and the application fee paid to the embassy is non-refundable.

For those concerned about their application, we offer VIP services both for applications submitted from within Thailand and those from abroad.

It’s not 10,000 baht at every embassy they are all different

You? 😒

Yes, I saw people loosing the 10k (Vientiane)

What is a DTV...? Mommy!

So far, we’ve only seen application results from countries like USA, UK, EU, and AU. Bureaucracy in those countries works well, so it’s unlikely that applicants who meet the criteria would get rejected because their countries have a strong reputation. What we really need to know is how applications from third-world countries are faring. I haven't seen anyone shared the result from a small or poor country yet.

If they got your documents and didn’t ask for more - that means 90% u will get your visa.

A guy just posted that he applied from within Thailand and was rejected but that’s his fault because you can’t apply from here

The embassy in Hanoi checked all the documents very thoroughly at the counter while submitting. I don’t think she would have let me submit and pay if I hadn’t met the criteria the embassy has set, so I think once you get past the front counter and manage to pay it’s very unlikely you’ll be rejected. If you’re missing things or they want additional documents they send you away pre-payment and ask you to submit when you’ve got everything in order.

Yes

Maybe...they asked for a document, we sent it and they must've gone off for a holiday this past week. Nothing.

No
