Why was my Thai visa application rejected due to past visits, and how can I get a response from the embassy?
Hello,
I need your help to get some information. I went to the Thai Visa Application Center to submit my application, but they refused to accept it because I haven’t visited Thailand twice in the last five years. I have, however, visited twice in the last 5.5 years. They advised me to get pre-approval from the Royal Thai Embassy.
I emailed them with all the relevant details (visa.dac@mfa.go.th), but unfortunately, I haven’t received any response for over a week, despite follow-up attempts. Could someone assist me with how to reach them, as I didn’t find sufficient information on their website.
Thank you!

When people say they had communication with the Thai Embassy in Dhaka about Thai Visas, then did they call this telephone number as listed on the Thai Embassy in Dhaka website?

I dont understand, If you were not here for the last 5 years why bother ? Just come back on a tourist visa, stay 6 months and apply for dtv next year no ?

OP@Yoni ***
okay , thank youJohn **********
I think the 5 year thing is nonsense. If you look on the embassy website at the requirements for the DTV you will see that all DTV applications must be pre approved by the embassy
Anonymous *************
OP@John *********
yes that how it should be but sadly I am struggling to get the right information.John **********
I don't even see the DTV listed on the website of that company
Stephan ***********
@John *********
But it's listed at the Embassy... and the Embassy want you to apply at this agency... bad luck I guess... 😁John **********
@Stephan **********
if you open the DTV requirements on the embassy website it's clear that all DTV applications must be pre-approved by the embassyHenrik *****
If it is explained at the Embassy, they will not answer you.

@Stephan **********
so there is this agency coincidentally named Thai Visa Center TVC and many are confusing it as a official one. Its a havoc.Stephan ***********
@Jack ******
Not in my knowledge.Jack *******
@Stephan **********
do Thai embassy authorize external agencies as official certified agencies like in LTR for DTV now?

Anonymous participant there's NO pre-approval process. Look at the Thai Embassy website for their requirements for the DTV visa and Apply for it per their instructions.
John **********
Anonymous participant perhaps you need to visit the embassy with all the documentation required to apply for the DTV?

OP@John *********
thank you my brother , could y pls help to let me know how to get pre-approval ??Stephan ***********
@John *********
Yes, but the Embassy ask you to apply at this "Centre"... and this people are telling wild stories... little bit weird somehow...Anonymous *************
OP@Stephan **********
oh yes, all I want to contact them via email & phone ( both way failed)

This sounds like you were blacklisted for 5y and they just didn't want to tell you that you are not wanted

yes, but how can I get pre-approval to submit my application or reach embassy. As I failed both way , phone & emailKo *****************
Anonymous participant Have you checked with Thai embassies and consulate general ? My understanding is issuance of DTV is embassy or consulate not immigration. I have read in this group that a bangaladesh national submitted application of DTV but he was told that it may take two weeks.

thank you so much for the right information. I have submitted 9 days ago.

You said: "I haven’t visited Thailand twice in the last five years. I have, however, visited twice in the last 5.5 years." and someone has suggested this in connection with DTV. Someone here is bullshiting. Are you bad mouthing someone Mr. Anonomous?

OP@Graham ******
why would I ? I have visited - “ Thailand Visa Application Center - Saimon Center” Dhaka, Bangladesh’they said they won’t accept my application without proof of recent Thailand tour atleast twice in last five year window. My both twice visit crossed that window. Then I asked I want to request my proposal to reconsider then they said you can email them and submit the proof of pre-approval from embassy over email. I emailed but my bad luck I didn’t got response yet and I also tried to reach over phone number.Stephan ***********
Anonymer Teilnehmer No such rule... must be a misunderstanding somewhere.

I believe you are wrong, that is not mentioned any place at the Embassy website.

There is no rule, that you have to visit Thailand prior to get DTV

OP@Anton *******
Royal Thai Embassy of Bangladesh has instructed to Dhaka “ Thai Visa Application Center” this is what they conveyed me. Any way to reach the embassy by email or some other way

Can't clearly understand what rule you are mentioning to... what is the connection between your visits in the last 5 years and dtv?
