Why was my Thai visa application rejected in Vietnam despite meeting the requirements?

Have you had a work visa before? Immigration authorities usually don’t like these kinds of posts if you haven’t been legally employed before… And honestly, having your location set in Bangkok on your profile probably didn’t help either.

I just got rejected in Hanoi. All papers fine

Apply for another type of visa ( ED, Volunteer)

I think they are doing this on purpose now. I got screwed over too.

Applied 2 weeks ago for HCM. Meet all the requirements and above.

- 500k baht+ in a single, personal account for past 3 months. Clearly highlighted everything.

- I’m employed to my own company for the past 1,5 years. No freelance construction. Have all the formally signed documents by official institutions. Salary payments, salary slips, everything.

Provided very clear, simple documentation.

Now they just asked me to:

1. Provide a 6-month English bank statement with a balance over 500,000 baht

> weird that the requirement is 3 months, but now they ask for 6 months?

2. Provide details about your current work, including (1) your CV or portfolio, and (2) examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications, etc.

> i’m employed as a director to my company. Not sure what to show them here😂

3. Please provide a business registration document showing the company name, the name of the legal representative, and a company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, achievements, and a link to your company’s website.

> already provided everything except details about the history & achievements of the company. Don’t see how that would add much info to the case since I literally have all the formal documents.

Seems like they looking for any reason to reject it and are willing to change the requirements on the fly. I’m from The Netherlands btw (Europe)

Where is your business physically located? Is that the same country you applied from? That would seem to be a major red flag if i was checking applications.

Veitnam is off the list. got rejected without reason. best case apply Laos as i hear if you have 3 months seasoned funds

So many have issues applying in Vietnam, mainly because they do not understand your foreign documents. Vietnam also very busy because all the people living here on the wrong visa go to there to sort it out. So if your application is not perfect to them - bang rejected. Applying in your home country is always easiest because the staff there know both your documentation and the process. You could just keep trying but my advice to all who get rejected in Vietnam is the same , just fly home and apply from your home country.

If your gf worked in any other country you wouldn't be able to get a long term visa period. You messed up the docs, throw everything you have into Claude and ask it to be your personal assistant. The requirements are super clear and you can have no mistakes, this is a government application.

You agreed with this BEFORE you applied; why cry afterward?

Try Visa Help 24h — There's a site that does free DTV case reviews — including reapplication strategy after rejection. Worth a look if you're stuck. Check my profile or DM me.

Most rejections from applying in Vietnam are because the bt500,000+ was not in your personal bank account for at least three months.

You can apply again or try a different visa. There's plenty of options.

I’m having the same issue mate.

Already got a place in Bangkok. Dog already there, gf already got her visa.

Was rejected from HCM yesterday and can’t understand why.

Meet all the requirements- work online, income stable, savings well above the required amount.

Provided everything they asked for, showed work flows, company presentation etc. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hope you’re figure it out bro.

Apply METV and relax for a while

If you got rejected, obviusly there was something wrong with the application itself or an error when applying like a misspell of name etc.

There is always a reason for a rejection. They just dont tell. Yes it sucks but can in most cases be found if someone else then you look at your paperwork as a second oair of eyes.

Like John says here aswell. They are not required to give you a reason but they might do so if you contact them.

If you need a pair of eyes on your documents feel free to send me a message.

No consulate of any nation provides a reason alongside a visa rejection. You can of course try to contact them to ask but there's no requirement for them to tell you. Under which option did you apply for the DTV?
