Why was my Thailand Workcation Visa application rejected and when should I reapply?
Hello Folks,
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 ?
What is your passport nation?
Do you have residence status in Bangladesh ?
