TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual has experienced two cancellations of their tourist visa application for Thailand, due to the use of a travel document instead of a passport. They seek advice on how to proceed with their confirmed travel plans for January 7, 2026. Comments from other users indicate that a travel document may not be sufficient for entry into Thailand, and they suggest obtaining a passport or contacting the Thai consulate for assistance.

If you have a Refugee Travel Document then they may not issue a DTV on that. You may also be incorrectly filling out your nationality as stated in this eVisa guide

You may also try contacting the consulate

I don’t personally think they’re going to allow you to walk in and ask questions without an appointment.

The DTV application clearly calls for passport details and your ‘travel document’ does not qualify. Get a passport.

Thailand obviously does not allow entry with the type of travel document you are holding. Nobody in this group can help you.

There are technically a few types of travel documents that are allowed, such as a refugee identity card, but there are specific parameters on using it.

Also, is the travel document issued by Canada? And does it have 6 months left on it?

DTV_BegPecker There are different types of non-passport travel documents such as "Refugee Travel Documents" and ETD (Emergency Travel Documents). I kknow with a British ETD issued in Cambodia, you could get a Thai Visa on it to travel to Thailand and apply for a new passport if lost or stolen. My pal was the British Ambassador in Cambodia and issued them to a family who had passports stolen (No VFS in Cambodia then).
