I just received a visa rejection email from the Thai Embassy in Dhaka. I applied under the Workcation Visa category on June 22, and today, instead of moving forward from “Pending Document Check,” it went straight to Visa Rejected.
Not sure what I might have missed! But I can ensure you that all documents and the input on e visa portarl was correct and legit.
Here’s what I submitted:
✅ Bank statements and solvency certificate (with more than the required amount, over 6 months) with regular tranjactions.
✅ Employment confirmation letter and an LLC company report from my employer (I work with them via Upwork). Been working for that company for the last 3 years.
✅ Upwork income certificate for the last 12 months
✅ Freelancer ID issued by the Bangladesh government
✅ All other regular documents (residency proof, air ticket, hotel booking, etc.)
Do you think I should apply again? If yes, when would be the right time?
Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Happy traveling, everyone!
Thank you.

Was the bank account in your name only? Or a business account?
The Bangladesh document submitted... might be confusing to the Thai Embassy...
Did you submit a letter from yourself and or your client stating that you are allowed to provide your services remotely from Thailand and that you are not serving anyone in Thailand ?
Employment contract or employment certificate outside of Thailand, or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent, or freelancer status without intention to receive salary or income from Thai company or within Thailand.
Evidence of adequate finance e.g. Current Bank Solvency and Bank Statement of the last 6 months with satisfactory transaction (at least 1,750,000 taka remained in the bank account for 6 months straight). Only original Bank Statement and Bank Solvency Letter are acceptable.
A copy of air ticket, a booking confirmation, or an itinerary.
Anonymous participant Since you mentioned Upwork, are you a freelancer? If so, you have to submit a CV + a portfolio showcasing your work, achievements, milestone projects, etc along with the cover letter.
