Hi there,

My friend has applied for a 60 day visa but for some reason it's been rejected, not sure what the hell he's done but is there a process of applying again or can he find out why?

I'm currently in Thailand and can't really help him

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is concerned about their friend's 60-day visa application being rejected without clear communication. Other community members suggest that the application is likely still pending review or that additional information may have been requested via email. They recommend checking email and spam folders for any messages from the embassy. One commenter shares their experience of a minor mistake leading to rejection, suggesting that visa applications can be sensitive to errors.

He only needed to make one typo and it's rejected. Even things which most countries would overlook as a genuine mistake will result in a rejection. So you need to start again and of course pay again. I didn't change the date from 2023 on my date of birth, they pointed out my mistake and even told me my actual date of birth, rejected pay again... Welcome to the land of smiles.

They always email asking for more information. Unlikely to be rejected.

Multi-entry Tourist Visa is best. You can get up to nine months with two strategic border bounces

If he applied through evisa he needs to check his email and spam folder. They wouldn't reject without contacting by email.

At a guess they have not included something or did something wrong. As Stuart asked what consulate or embassy did they apply at

Very unusual that they reject without having initially contacted them if they need more information or something is wrong.
