How can passport type be wrong? I am like 100% sure I selected ordinary passport. There is no other details in the email or thayevisa portal where I applied, nor can I see my application form. I applied in Berlin, Germany as a resident. 

What could be wrong?

What I submitted: 

* permanent work contract stating the work location is anywhere (unsigned as I received it through email) 

* last investment broker account statements stating more than enough funds

* travel passport

edit: upon request they updated me that I indeed selected wrong document type so it must have been some mistake with the page changing my inputs upon save/refresh. 

They also mentioned other documents are ok.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user encountered an issue with a Thai visa application where they accidentally selected the wrong passport type. Although they were certain they selected an ordinary passport, an update from the consulate confirmed the mistake. The user requested advice on possible implications and steps to correct this error. The discussion revealed that errors in the passport section could lead to rejection without explanation and emphasized the importance of ensuring all documents meet specified requirements, particularly regarding the funds being in a personal bank account rather than from investment accounts.

that website is famous for changing randomly things when you reload the page or when you click back or whatever. It's really possible that you check normal passport but then you reloaded or went back to check it again leading it to move to another type of passport. As the other folks said, the best is always to keep a screenshot but even with that, it won't change anything cuz the application will never get refunded.

I don’t think investment accounts are allowed. Needs to be savings or checkings only.

Sounds like if they didn't ding you for the passport type thing they would've for the brokerage account. The money has to be cash in a personal account. No mutual funds, crypto, etc. You need to move some of that mutual fund $$ into a cash personal account. But before you apply again, search in this group for posts about the consulate you are applying through to confirm how many months of seasoning is required. Good luck.
