You should try to call them to find out the reason for the cancellation

I don't know your situation but I have seen on here that often people who have the 'cancelled' status is usually because they already have a visa of some sort, such as a tourist visa or an ED visa that hasn't been cancelled properly first.

I do not hold any other visas, including for Thailand or any other country.
For my first application, I was asked to provide a new photograph of myself, my flight confirmation (which I submitted as a PDF), and the biodata page of my passport. After submitting these documents, the application was cancelled.
For my second application, it was simply cancelled without any request for any additional documents or information. X

Upload your passport bio data page first and then edit the bio data page as/if necessary, The photo upload will overwrite the data fields.

Yes, the Thai e-visa system has you upload your photo page of your passport. The system will read the photo page and overwrite anything you already entered related to names, dates, etc. You might not even realize it overwrote what you had written. Their software is notoriously inaccurate, making mistakes. You might have entered the letter O, but then the software scanned your photo upload and changes it to a zero, which is not what you wanted/correct. If you don’t notice that this change (error) happened and submit, the embassy will cancel your application, stating your data is incorrect, even though it was their system that messed it up and overwrote your correct data. So upload the photo page first, deleted all the fields it populates and re-enter with what you know is correctDTV_Be*******
Where are you saying your passport was issued? Are you a British national/official resident? You adding middle name that isn’t on your passport? Are you physically in the UK?

Great Britain as it was issued here. I’m a British citizen and also in the country. My middle name is on my passport so it’s also being added. X

- those are other common issues why applications are canceled, other than misspellings. (E.g. my passport says mine was issued at the embassy in Bangkok, and if I had put that, which is technically correct and answering their question, it would get canceled). But it sounds like none of these are issues with you. Do you have another active/valid Thai visa? No special type of letters in your name or a hyphen?Keeley ********
I’ve tried reaching them via phone with no luck. I also emailed following the first cancellation and received no response at all. X

Seems so strange because the UK Embassy seems pretty straight up. Definitely try to get in contact with them to find out the reason.DTV_Be*******
