ORIGINAL POSTER

Husband and I (separate applications) both just rejected in HCMC, both soft power, both with Discover Thai Nature seminar. Spoke with the owner there who says the seminar has been getting rejected in several places, but was just accepted in Manila and Germany. All that said, does anyone have any first hand experience of rejection in one city, but applying in another?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses a couple whose separate visa applications were rejected in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) due to their attendance at a Discover Thai Nature seminar. They learned that this seminar has faced rejections in multiple locations while being accepted in others, such as Manila and Germany. Deriving insights from comments, the discussion hints at potential reputation issues regarding the seminar and advises considering alternative activities, like Muay Thai, for future applications.

It's better to shift to another soft power, such as Muay Thai. This seminar will likely be rejected everywhere soon—9999 THB for a five-year online monthly class? (Yes I know you can attend, but no one does). No wonder it's being refused.

The classes in Bangkok? If yes, you're one of the very rare exceptions who deserve it. Most barely attend the online classes. A 5-year visa for a monthly online class that only a few follow isn’t exactly a strong motive, which is why more and more embassies are now refusing it.

Anonymer Teilnehmer 493 Yes, actually in Bankok 🥹 I would have booked the course even without the DTV because I think it's really cool. Since I want to be in Thailand anyway, it's a win win ☺️ my uncle emigrated to Thailand and i have some friends there ☺️ I'm going in May too 🙏🏻 but yes, I understand very well what you mean...

a 20 minute scaling or dental filling is not going to cut it.

yeah, this is a process that actually has to been done in stages with months of healing in between, but still, they refused. I have seen people in this forum, however, who have gotten medical approvals, but thus far I've been unlucky in that regard...

easy. Use another dentist. Many around. Once they lose the work they will start doing letters. Shop around like everything.
