Why was my soft power visa application rejected without explanation?
Hello, everyone. I submitted an application for about two weeks. I don't know why it was rejected.I applied for soft power, and the school sent a message to the Immigration Bureau.Anybody know what's going on?
Summary so far
The user is confused about the rejection of their soft power visa application submitted two weeks ago, which had no provided reasons for the rejection. The community comments suggest a general frustration with the immigration process, lack of transparency in communication regarding rejections, and offer advice to contact the immigration bureau directly or ensure all necessary documents from educational institutions are in order.

Delete if not applicable. Just want to share my experience. I came here on 3month tourist visa free. I decided to stay longer so I went to a school that offer ED visa. I got an ED visa from the Thai school Applying here in Thailand is easy and hassle free. The school basically take care of everything for you.

Anonymous participant Yes it is, but unfortunately due to recent visa violations in Thailand, there is stricter approval of Chinese applicants. Other Chinese posted last month or so about this. I know some rejected in Vietnam who got approved in Indonesia. Jakarta is more "friendly".

There's no way to know unless they tell you, try messaging them on Facebook Messenger and asking. They may tell you and you lose nothing

It's sad that they can't give a proper rejections and tell you the reasons.
And it's a joke that they ask for feedback on the rejection slip...
I wonder what kind of feedback they're getting and if it's constructive.
They don't seem to have improved with communication over the year.

I mean, that’s true of most visa rejections not just in Thailand. They aren’t going to give you a detailed rejection reason because they don’t want people to game the system.Anonymous *************

I don’t think a message will do it you need all the proper paperwork from the school or Gym and the school needs to be approved
