What should I do after my DTV visa application was rejected by the Thai Embassy due to financial requirements?
Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience and see if anyone can provide an advice or smth..
Unfortunately, I received a rejection email for my DTV visa yesterday from the Thai Embassy in Cairo, Egypt. The reason stated was that I don’t meet the financial requirement of 850K EGP (~500K THB).
However, I had attached:
• A transaction history from my Remotepass account (I work remotely as a consultant through Remotepass).
• My actual work contract (active since August last year)
• An additional bank statement.
Both statements combined exceed 500K THB and are in USD, yet my application was still rejected.
I applied on February 17th and got a response just one day later. I’ve tried reaching out for clarification and to see if anything can be done, no response back.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Any idea why this might have happened or what I can do next?
Would really appreciate it!

Summary so far
A user recently shared their experience of having their DTV visa application rejected by the Thai Embassy in Cairo due to not meeting the financial requirement of 850K EGP (~500K THB). Despite submitting necessary documents including transaction histories and bank statements, the application was denied, prompting the user to seek advice from others with similar experiences. Many commenters pointed out that the financial proof needs to come from a personal bank account and that some embassies, particularly in Cairo, have been increasingly difficult for applicants from certain countries.

Nobody will get any reason why the application is rejected, as it is clearly stated on most Thai Embassy websites.
The 500.000 Baht in readyly available in a BANKaccount is one of the major requirements, if you dont have dont apply.
Do not try to get the amount approved in any other way.
If you are in ie. car accident on day 2 in Thailand, you should be able to pay the hospital in full with the 500.000, if that is not possibel then they will reject you.

OPOkay, Henrik, hear me out because you edited the comment with the same tone again…
I’m not trying to get it approved one way or another. I actually have nearly double the required amount, but I didn’t expect them to have trouble recognizing an account linked to my bank—especially when it has my salary slips, which match my legal contract as a remote worker on the same platform, under my name.
I’m asking clear questions, specifically to people who have experienced something similar or know someone who has.
And there was no need to bring up the accident part—I’m a 27-year-old woman, believe it or not, I’m well aware.

First of all , you need to show 500k in thai baht or a relevant amount in another currency in your personal bank account , remote pass isnt a bank account and its probably why they rejected you if you arent egyptian , but if you are egyptian they would reject you anyway without a reason , i know a couple of friends that got rejected even they may have applied with stronger documents than i did , but i got mine from another country back in october

‘Both statements combined’. The 500k baht needs to be in one account
Anonymous *************
OP@Dom *******
it was over 500k in my remotepass account.. but probably they need an actual bank account not a wallet kinda!
Wesley ********
The bank account has the money on its own, right? Or did you combine it with something else?
Anonymous *************
OP@Wesley *******
no I attached a bank statement & a transaction history of the other account Both combined was over 1mill .. but most of it was in my work account

Anonymous participant I think you e found your own answer. It’s not a bank account, right?

RemotePass looks like a payment platform, you need to show 500k+ in the bank, not income funds going through a 3rd party payment platform. Transfer all your funds into a bank so that it exceeds the 500k, and also ensure you are aware of how long that embassy wants to see the funds in place before submitting another application.

it was 3 months .. I’ll transfer it to my account and try again, probably from another country tho.Wannikea *********
Anonymous participant good idea, choose a location with a consistent policy and lots of positive user experience with applications.

sure they think he is scaming has the funds from another source. It's not his usual banking account that's what they want it see not some trading account that could be empty tomorrow. There are enough living on no income here sleeping in. The beach

Are you Egyptian? For some reason the Thai embassy in Cairo is not accepting Egyptians for the DTV, although they are offering it which is weird, I applied too and had all necessary documents submitted and they requested additional documents which I submitted , then I got asked for an interview, in which I was told I have two choices either reject my application or get a multiple entry tourist visa

Some embassies will require 3 to 6 month of bank statements with the 500K thb on the account, but people usually get asked for additional documents, they are not rejected right away for this reason.
You say "both statements combines exceed 500K THB", but remotepass is not a bank account, right? So they would not take this into account, and the other statement you provided is not above 500k, so they rejected.

I can transfer all the money to my bank account and try again but I have a feeling that it’s not related to the funds anymore after getting a rejection that fast and I might just lose another 300$ just for being from Egypt!Activity
