What should I know about applying for a Thai eVisa to avoid mistakes?

Seeking Justice for a Minor Visa Application Error 🇹🇭🚫

Pls help!

My husband's Thai eVisa application was denied due to a small mistake in his name format. The application showed "Muhammad M. Abullaah," but his passport omits the initial "M." Shockingly, we were denied the chance to correct the error and were informed that our 8,820 THB (AED 1,000) application fee won't be refunded.

Key points:

* Paid a significant fee (8,820 THB/AED 1,000)

* Rejected due to a minor error in name format

* No opportunity provided to rectify the mistake

* Unfair denial of refund or modification

Please share your advice on how to resolve this issue and seek justice for our situation. Your support is truly appreciated!

Are u able to resolve the problem ?

Money First, Thailand First

The moment you put full trust in an automated reading system is the moment you screwed up.

I’ll admit, having OCD can be a nightmare sometimes, but in situations like this, it’s a blessing in disguise for me. Before I submitted my DTV application, I must’ve gone over it at least ten times, obsessively checking every tiny detail 🤣

I used the site and also feel i got the short end of the stick so I will not longer try to live in Thailand..think of all the money I would have spent there in 5 years all the services I would have bought but because they have a faulty system I will relocate to a country with easier immigration process

Number ... covered here every week!!!

Isn't it amusing how these whizz-bang digital nomads can't read simple digits! And then blame the scanning system! Hilarious 😂😂😂

Yes, almost posted about daily.

It’s Kafka manifested. Never doubt the power of the Thai IT overlords to haunt naive form fillers.

The OCR is known to be flawed, that said, who knows the quality of the uploaded passport biodata page it's reading from. Triple check everything, edit if necessary after uploading the biodata, check again that all the edited and OCR info is stored correctly. You can preview the collected/saved data before submitting.

OCR = optical character recognition, machine readable text

The point Is that we are human and we can make very small mistakes. To make it fair there should be an option to edit that data after being submitted for free or for a small us$ fee. I know we should pay attention and triple check but getting 350$ busted for a small mistake seems way too much in my opinion

So when I applied, it had my birthday incorrect, even though I manually entered it so I took a screenshot of that and I put it in my application and I said that there’s a problem with your computer system and it will not enter my birthday correctly, and I will not have my application denied based on the biometric data being incorrect due to your websiteand they approved me without asking for any additional paperwork

it’s really unfortunate.

This issue has been posted on here many many times.

I've not seen it but I am sure there would be something that says VERIFY your details, you did not and now you submitted wrong details.
