ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone! DTV work action was rejected at Hanoi Embassy.

I submitted my application on the 30.9, got 3 emails asking for further documentation.

Now, in my case I had a non B visa & work permit, all of which was cancelled, expired & company ownership transferred to someone else via the lawyer I worked with.

Provided all the needed documents (bank statement with the funds, company letter, company registration outside Thailand, proof of source of income).

Then they asked for further information about work permit & business registration in Thailand - provided that alongside the proof of transfer of ownership & cancelled work permit.

Yet, it was rejected saying “not eligible for DTV, please apply for non B visa & work permit again.” Which is not the route for me as I don’t have any company anymore in Thailand.

Anyone experienced similar challenge? Any advise? 

Going to the embassy tomorrow to ask for clarification…

Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary

An expat in Thailand experienced a rejection of their DTV visa application due to past involvement with a non-B visa and work permit, which has since been canceled. Despite providing various documentation to support their application, including evidence of funds and ownership transfer, the embassy deemed them ineligible for the DTV visa, suggesting reapplication for a non-B visa, which is not feasible for the applicant as they no longer have a company in Thailand. The post seeks advice on navigating this situation and finding alternative visa options.
