They want you to apply from the country for which you hold citizenship. Yeah, technically you can apply from other countries outside Thailand but that attracts more scrutiny.

Were all the documents either in English or translated into English? Documents that are submitted must usually be in English in not in Thai.

DynamicDragon6067 The safest way forward is another application going through Issa Compass. They will probably know why the application was rejected and advise accordingly.

The first thing you should have done was to research the legality of your gf applying from the Netherlands. If she's not a resident there, then the Thai embassy there would not grant her the visa.

Have you heard of Google, chatgpt, grok, Venice ai,...?

TheBatman1234567890 Is she under the temporary protection status or perhaps has a work visa? If so, the terms of the visa might require that she stay in Netherlands to maintain visa status. Granting a visa that effectively allows for full-time residence outside in NL may negate her current visa status in the Netherlands. OP does not explain what the terms of the Ukrainian GF's visa status is, but the Thai embassy wouldn't grant a visa that would cause her to forfeit her current residence.

TheBatman1234567890 luckily, countries aren't consulting you for your opinion on the matter. I'm guessing you might not travel much because if you did you would realize the large amount of travelers that have to apply for visas without traveling to their home country first. If I'm in Bangkok and want to go to Hanoi, it would be ridiculous to have to fly to New York to apply for the visa first 😂.

these are the countries which don't allow non residents or non citizens to apply for Thai dtv. I don't need to be consulted. What these countries are doing is to stop tourists from 'country shopping' to find an ideal location to apply for the Thai dtv, which I opine should be stopped altogether.

TheBatman1234567890 people apply for the DTV Visa from countries where they do not permanently reside all the time. You don't have to be a resident of the country to apply there. You can't be inside Thailand when you apply and you have to apply in the country in which you are currently located.

few countries allow this and imo this system should be scrapped. In other countries, you need to be a citizen or a permanent resident in order to apply from that country's Thai embassy. That should be the right way.

TheBatman1234567890 Are you sure a non Netherlands citizen can’t apply in the Netherlands? Many people apply from countries where they are not citizens.

Used Issa Compass- cheap, fast and reliable

They asked for more paperwork than other agencies do but that is because they offer money back guarantee

Never heard a report of Issa Compass failing to live up to their promise of success or the whole of your money back (their fee plus Embassy fee) or, alternatively, one free resubmission at a different Embassy.

@Christopher **********
yup, exactly. I know it would've been cheaper to do myself, but my particular stakes were higher than normal and I couldn't afford risking being rejected. When people consider the costs as well, it's a lot more expensive when you have to extend your trip another 2 weeks with everything it costs to re-apply. I'm really happy I went with Issa.

I would suggest Laos. I was rejected in Vietnam because one of my financial institutions spelled my name with 1 L rather than 2. I used Issa Compass to ensure everything was perfect. I have a discount code if you want it.

Sorry to hear that. The original poster needs to know that a mismatch in metadata will result in cancellation. That would have been the reason your application was refused. Rejection means all details entered were correct, the Embassy has considered the application but decided it doesn’t meet their requirements. Sometimes they are helpful and request more/different information. Unfortunately, other times they just reject an application without explanation.

First I would try to send them an email to see if they answer or just go see them. Maybe they will hint at what was wrong. It is odd they rejected right off the bat without asking for more documents.

If it was rejected right away there is something that immidiately disqualified her.

Without knowing details it is hard for anyone to give good advice.
