What should I do after my DTV visa application was rejected due to a naming error?

The solution maybe that your PC or phone has a number ...letter setting. When you type O..letter is types 0 zero.

Change to ur PC or Phone and edit the application

They also have a Facebook page and might respond to POLITE queries.

I applied recently to LA office.

The first item I downloaded was a not great picture of my passport.

The machine could not read anything of the bio data but said it would be corrected in the subsequent section where it is typed in manually.

This implies they are relying on their machine to do the reading and it’s imperfect.

I do hope my application is not rejected….or they ask for a better copy.

Does anyone want to speak to the LA consulate staff? They are having a Thailand Beach Party in Santa Monica tomorrow Saturday.

Rejected and lose the fee payment? Absolutely insane. Sorry you have to deal with this bureaucratic nightmare.

Submit a new application, make the correction, and submit same documentation. Seems that's the only option.

You have a US passport, son? Getting disrespected in our own turf now??? November 5th can’t come soon enough!!!

This happened to me when I got the METV… the app removed my middle name after clicking next step and they just rejected it..

I had to pay again

I just got my DTV today in person in Laos.

Took 2 days

I realise it’s too late for this application, and you’ll have to reapply, but in certain fonts there’s two common traps, O (Oscar) / 0 (zero), and upper case I (India) / lower case l (lima). I work around this by using copy-paste from a reliable original text. I say reliable TEXT because copy-paste from an image (such as a Passport scan) can transpose these similar looking characters. Good luck.

I recently applied - THREE TIMES - for a non-o visa for my 4 year old son. I applied twice with the Thai embassy in Washington D.C. and once with the U.S. Consulate in New York. The Washington D.C. applications came back with a request for additional documents (when I provided everything they should have required). The application with the Thai Consulate in New York was approved - with the exact same set of documents. Go figure. But I know one thing, I’ll never apply through Washington D.C. Thai Embassy again.

Welcome to the wonderful world of 'Thai automated rejection '. It's computer generated. No one even bothered to look at it and there's NOTHING you can do! Been there done that lost my application fee

Same happened with me. Ended up paying for another application. Hoping they can manually edit on their end in the future

Infuriating! It’s worth calling them. Don’t ask, don’t get.

IIRC, it’s lifted from the bio-data page on your passport, isn’t it?

It’s all very clear at their website.



( It is pretty much standard phrases on every Thai Embassy website, so check everything thoroughly before sending, or you will lose the fee )

You cannot make a correction. If the embassy determines there was any incorrect information with the passport it's immediate rejection of the entire application and forfeiting of the application fee.
