What should you consider if you've been rejected for a DTV visa application in Thailand?
For people who successfully got the DTV after getting rejected, what were the reason of rejection you put in the application for your rejection. Does a rejection actually affect reapplication at all? HCMC is asking for more info and in case I get rejected would it harm my chances the second time to have that on my record or should I withdraw my application to protect my record? Does a rejection even need to be disclosed? Please help. Thanks!

I did it myself and had additional paperwork requested. It was approved after that review. I didn't have to pay again. They were very clear about what other documentation was needed.

@Kristen ******
can u say what was missing, pls?! and how long do they govi u to submit again...Kristen *******
Jessica Kadri There was no time limit. I returned the missing information in about a week. They needed a full bank account summary and the letter from my business needed a wet signature. I turned them in and was approved a few weeks later

In case of rejection, if you have a reason for the rejection (written on the email), you can attach to your next application and proactively disclose it and explain why it was rejected - I’d advise you do so if rejection is clearly written due to 1) Documents insufficient 2) Interviews no-show 3) other temporary issues.
If just a rejection without reason written then you can just go ahead do another application ina regular route, but more well prepared. :)
I hope this comment would go trash because your current application will pass! Good luck.

Can you even “withdraw” an application or would it just be classified as rejected anyway?

@John ******
according to this group a lack of paperwork would classify as withdrawal. But not enough sample data to suggest it’s a standard. That’s why im asking for more info. Similar to payment not completed on application i supposeJohn *******
Anonymous participant 442 - I believe if you don’t supply the additional documents they ask of you, you would get a rejection, not a withdrawal . They will reject you based on the paperwork already submitted, which by asking for more documents, implies it isn’t sufficient.

I got approved after first rejection.
First application was with agent.
I got approved after I applied myself.
What I would recommend is you try in different country.
Good luck!

What are they asking for ?
What's your passport nation?
What purpose are you applying for?
Workation or soft power activity?

i applied for a 6 month approved culinary school in bangkok for softpower route but they are treating me like a workcation. They wanted a direct confirmation with the cooking school despite the school issued standard formal packet application for dtv. Then they asked how a culinary school would factor into my stay for 5 full years, 6 months bank, full salary disclosure, business plan and my plan for this visa usage for softpower. This seems super strict. Im not sure why i even paid for the course if it’s even more work than the workcation routeFiamma ******

Not knowing your overall background but
Just be patient and honest and supply the documents they asked for, write a good explanation letter attached to it. If you have something missing I’d suggest you explain as well.
In your case, the key is your income proof (freelance/FT job or even passive income - depends on your background), and your work proof.
Also it looks like thy have some doubt about your application so they ‘challenge’ you by checking if you’re being 100% honest.

@Fiamma *****
Agreed ✅Fiamma ******
Anonymous participant 442 True, if you can apply under workation I think you should do workation, also it’s always better than soft power in a longer term.

442 participante anônimo good to know... tks for sharing this!

@Fiamma *****
thank you, im trying but I feel like the softpower route is more trouble than it’s worth. Like i paid extra 700$ to prove my worth and justify why i deserve to be in Thailand under a cooking course. But it was an approved course and time frame so I dont see what other reasons i can give besides what the country planned in designing softpower route. I could have just gotten a normal application for workcation. That’s insane.

Does it need to be disclosed: They will know you've already been rejected, so why risk being denied again for lying on your application?
Anonymous ******************
Anonymous participant 853 im not rejected. Im pending. How am i lying on an application? And according to this group, consulates dont cross share application information
