Why was my DTV visa changed to a TR visa when I applied from Indonesia?
DTV into TR
I applied DTV visa from Indonesia waited almost a month but my visa type was changed into TR visa when I received. Why? Does this happened to anyone?

Answer summary
The individual applied for a DTV visa from Indonesia but received a TR (Tourist) visa instead. Responses from the community suggest that the authorities deemed the applicant's submitted activities insufficient to qualify for the DTV visa. As a result, they were issued a tourist visa which allows for a possible stay of up to 9 months, rather than the more extended DTV visa.

As all the soft power short term courses or doctors appointments does not need a special visa which gives a 6 years of stay.

He's the most pompous, passive aggressive and condescending self proclaimed "expert" on here. I bet it kills him that he's not a moderator so he can delete anything he doesn't like.Robert *******

Thanks for your kind words.No problem for being a member, no problems with others posting total nonsense.
After all, it is all the choice of the person for following good advice and have a good time in Thailand.
Or just enjoy the reading and laugh about others posting random comments.

Of course you didn't mention soft power in your comment. Clown 🤡Robert *******
@Khun *****
I never mentioned that the OP applied for soft power.I only mentioned that soft power activities do not need a dtv visa.
BUT was that not enough to laugh about for you, you needed more attention today?

10k baht paid and METV issued? Wow that's one expensive visa.

They decided the activity you submitted did not warrant a 5-year visa. So they instead gave you a multiple entry tourist visa that can get you up to 9 months in Thailand.
It's generally advised to submit at least a year of activities if possible to avoid this from happening.

Yes, if they think you don’t qualify for a DTV, they may give you a tourist visa as a consultation prize. Soft power or nomad?
