ORIGINAL POSTER

I am so frustrated.  Applied for 34 day tourist visa online.  Paid.  Got email 5 days ago requesting 6 months of bank statements and letter from employer confirming employment.  Got all that together (in between working 16 hour days), go to the site and my application is gone!  So now I have to pay again?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user expressed frustration over their Thai tourist visa application disappearing from the online system after submitting additional documentation requested via email. Many commenters questioned the legitimacy of a '34-day tourist visa,' suggesting it may be a scam, as such a visa type does not officially exist. Users advised contacting the embassy and checking payment options for possible chargebacks, while highlighting the documentation requirements may vary by nationality.

Keef Newham yes the new evisa system asks for employment. It also asks you how long you want the visa for, however you always get a standard 60 day or 90 day visa etc etc even if you say you're staying for 34 days.

they do similar for Asians going to other countries. They are more likely to approve visiting visas if they have a legit job with credit history. But asking Americans for employment information? Absurd. Especially considering the history of backpackers coming here before.

you need proof of bank balance. Not month of transaction. What are you smoking? Tourist visas are not 34 days. Do you understand this? There is no requirement around employment status for tourist visa. Maybe you got. Scammed also.

Keef Newham uhmm it all depends on what passport you are holding you can go check the embassies website for Indian nationals and Pakistan they have to show employment to get a simple tourist visa.

Different countries different rules

how about you also check the OP nationality, now. She's from USA per her profile pictures. No reason for employment history. Only need that for Non Immigrant B visa. Gina doesn't look Indian or Pakistani to me either 🤣

Sounds like a scam . There is no 34 day visa. And visa exempt ( 30 days is free) so is Thai pass. Contact your bank if you paid by debit or credit card and ask for chargeback.

You can't upload additional documents on the evisa site, they should have given you an e-mail address where to send the documents.

Check the e-mail you received thoroughly.
