What should I do if my Thai visa application was marked as pending but then rejected without additional document requests?
I applied in Jakarta this Monday and the status changed to pending approval this afternoon. However, I received an email saying the application was rejected. Anyone has similar experience? I am really confused. No document was requested
Summary so far
A user shared their experience of applying for a Thai visa in Jakarta, where the status changed to pending approval but was later rejected without any document requests. They are confused about the situation and are looking for others with similar experiences. One commenter noted that there have been several rejections recently and inquired about the type of visa applied for, specifically mentioning Softpower and Workcation.

thank you for the tip. I think multiple entry tourist visa should allow us for the wedding logisticsAndi ***********

When you marry then getting a dependent DTV will be easy. Not sure if you mention now wanting to get married it will help as it may look like you want the DTV to just be with your fiancé. If you are marrying soon, consider the METV 6 mths multi entry visa but with correct timed extensions gives you around 8 mths. After marriage apply as DTV dependent.Jaleen *******

@Jaleen ******
yeah, it is unfortunate you and others paying the price for others misdeeds. You should apply elsewhere.Jaleen *******
OP@Andi **********
i suspect this is the reason. My documents were fine since the status showed pending approval without any document requests. However, it was rejected hours later possibly due to a senior officer who refused to issue the approval. Very frustratingAndi ***********
