What should I do if I've submitted a DTV visa application but my supporting documents reference a different passport?

DTV Visa Thailand Immigration Visa Application Process Remote Work Passport Issues Thai Embassy Procedures

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi there,

I just applied today for my DTV visa. I am an offshore worker from UK. I live in Phuket Thailand but have been using the tourist visa with no problems for the past few years. After returning to Phuket from work last time I was told I cannot keep using the free visa. 

I submitted today all my information, 6 months of payslips, bank account savings in showing over the required amount. My work gave me a letter to confirm I am a remote worker but put my passport I was using up until earlier this year. I still have the passport but I am concerned that they may reject based on that it is not the same as the passport I submitted. I have applied to the Thai embassy in South Africa.

Does anyone have any insight on my situation or anyway I can send an updated document to the embassy now that it is submitted? 

Many thanks

Being a remote worker is not enough. You need to work remotely FROM Thailand and your employer needs to give you permission to do that along with a statement that you won't work for or interact with clients inside Thailand

After you submitted the application you can not do anything to change the application, until the Embassy eventually ask for additional documentation, which by the way, resets the visa processing clock back to zero, and then you should only provide the information the Embassy asks for, and nothing else.

Or your application get rejected.
