Have many people been refused a DTV and lost their application fee and if so for what reasons? Curious to know the success rate is..
For those that have been refused have you applied again and had success or have you went for a different visa..
I do some remote work but would intend on staying for martial arts, is it easier to go down the soft power route rather than have to make sure my remote work reports are squeaky clean?
If the success rate isnt so great I may be inclined to go for the education visa and study alongside training..
Thanks in advance, any advice is appreciated.
TLDR : Answer Summary
Many individuals have reported being denied a Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) due to various reasons, such as incorrect passport information, lack of appropriate forms or documentation for activities like Muay Thai, and insufficient proof of medical appointments. Those who faced refusals often lost their application fees, especially if mistakes were made during the e-visa process. The trend shows embassies tightening their requirements, leading to a higher chance of denial. However, some applicants have successfully reapplied or switched categories without additional fees when addressing issues directly with embassies. For those concerned about application success rates, pursuing an education visa while training in martial arts may provide a more straightforward path.
