Seeking Justice for a Minor Visa Application Error 🇹🇭🚫

Pls help! 

My husband's Thai eVisa application was denied due to a small mistake in his name format. The application showed "Muhammad M. Abullaah," but his passport omits the initial "M." Shockingly, we were denied the chance to correct the error and were informed that our 8,820 THB (AED 1,000) application fee won't be refunded.

Key points:

*   Paid a significant fee (8,820 THB/AED 1,000)

*   Rejected due to a minor error in name format

*   No opportunity provided to rectify the mistake

*   Unfair denial of refund or modification

Please share your advice on how to resolve this issue and seek justice for our situation. Your support is truly appreciated!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice after their husband's Thai eVisa application was rejected due to a minor error in the name format—specifically, the omission of an initial from the passport. Despite the small nature of the mistake, the application was denied without a chance to correct it, and they were informed that the application fee of 8,820 THB would not be refunded. The community reactions highlight that such errors often lead to automatic rejections, and many emphasize the importance of meticulously checking application details before submission.

You are coming to wrong country if justice is a priority for you.

Rules are very clear, mistakes mean auto rejection and no fee returned.

Mistakes like yours seem so common actually starting to agree with that policy, seems so many people cannot fill out a simple form, never mind do any actual research, would bog down entire system correcting all the mistakes people make

Here is your justice, and it’s not very nice.

This issue is discussed DAILY in the forums. Any errors of dates, name , spelling etc are AUTOMATIC FAILURE from the computer.

Sorry…….do your homework.

They do not care, happened to me (I entered it right, they juxtaposed the dates) I re submitted and got it in two days. You will not receive a refund or even reach anyone - my ex wife is an immigration attorney in Bangkok, it just is not going to happen.

well i would understand your frustration if the application process do NOT give you chance to confirm/edit the data it scan from your passport page, but it DOES give you an option before you submit the application, computer can make mistake and thats why they allow to confirm before submit, now do it again and make sure the data is correct before submit....if you have read this forum then you know people are making the same mistake and learning hard way......rule is never trust anyone or anything but yourself.....

The mistake was not created from our side. It added automatically when asked to scan the passport. Taken the Middle Name with First Name.
