For those who want to apply for a DTV visa, my friend applied through a Muay Thai gym in Chiang Mai, since you have to register for a course at a gym before applying. He then flew to another country to submit the DTV visa application at the Thai embassy, but it was rejected. This Muay Thai gym is popular in this group , which is why he trusted it. I called the owner in Chiang Mai to ask for a refund, and she asked where I was. When I told her I was in Bangkok, she said that since she’s in Chiang Mai and I’m in Bangkok, I can’t do anything to her. So be careful, you might be the next unlucky one. The gym even threatened me if I left any bad reviews on Google Maps. The gym has great reviews for visas and advertises a refund policy, but when he asked for a refund, they refused. And that’s the reason why they have good reviews, because of Thailand’s defamation laws.

Heya, I got rejected at Hanoi because I messed up some personal info. They said "Visa application cancelled, wrong personal info" and I realized I didn't put my current location in, just permanent home address, which were different in the documents.

Now I got everything else covered and checked, but I hear that I couldn't apply again at the same Embassy? Is that really a thing? There's no block on the website and nothing mentioned. I don't want to lose another $340 in case they just won't mention it.

The Thai embassy does not usually provide reasons when a DTV visa is rejected. Because of this, applicants cannot confirm whether the rejection is related to the supporting documents. In our case, I applied for a DTV visa through Muay Thai Fever gym in Chiang Mai, but the application was rejected. The gym informed us that they could not provide a full refund in this situation

Hey guys . I’m kind of devastated. I got rejected even though I gave everything. No reason it just says rejected… any ideas of what I can do.

Applied for soft power dtv in Jakata, Indonesia. Pending approval for 7 working days and no single request for additional documents. And got outright rejected on 8th working day. No questions and no reasons.

I used an agency that is well known. The agent said my documents are strong and i am a good candidate. But i only submitted 1 month seasoning of 500k before applying because i saw in this group that most people only seasoned 500k for just one month and got their dtv approved. The average balance in six months is about 300k.

I also had a language school visa before. No idea what was the issue, my past visa or the bank statement. It is awful that there is no reasoning. Don’t remind me they don’t give reasons. I know. It’s just disgusting.

Edited: applied for Muay Thai soft power (6-month course) . I’m a Myanmar Nationality. I do have regular income from my own business in Myanmar for which i submitted the scans of original business licenses and notarized versions.

If the embassy decides to give a 6 month visa instead of 5 year DTV cuz they seem it's a better fit for the person, shouldn't they basically refund the rest of the fees cuz that's what they will tag it as in the government portal?

Is anyone here applying for the DTV in Bali?

Since I arrived in Bali, I applied for it the first time but received a rejection email on Sunday. Then I applied again for the second time, and my application is still in the “Submitted” stage. It has already been 7 working days.

How is your guys' experiences in Bali?

I got rejected for the DTV visa at Mumbai consulate, India 😞 👇

Actually I didn't completely get rejected but received a 'tourist tr' visa. Basically a normal visa of 60 days but valid for 6 months. That's a rejection in my eyes.

Now I am just trying to figure out what could be the reason for my rejection? Should I call them and insist on sharing the reason? If anybody here can review my documents in DM and let me know your expert opinion, that would be really helpful!

I applied through the workcation route as a freelancer. Submitted bank statement for 6 months with 500k for 3 months, ITR, Contracts, Clients' business registrations, employment certificate, payment transaction history, basically everything they needed to approve.

From other's experience too, the mumbai consulate seems to be conservative and very conservative. They prolly don't trust the status of 'freelancer' for a DTV visa. They must be looking for the traditional job employed people. They even requested additional documents. I still can't think of a solid reason that they rejected me. Such a bummer, waste of time and money.

Now if there is anybody that can help review my documents pls let me know, so I don't get rejected again. Also which country/ embassy is the best to apply from in my case. Thank you 🙏

Hello friends, I prepared everything for my Non-O visa (marriage) based on a handout I received from the ladies who sort the documents at the immigration office in Surathani, Samui. On the day I submitted my application, I spoke to an official who told me that I now have to use the eVisa portal, as the immigration office is no longer responsible... (how visa agents handle that?)

I converted my documents into PDF files and uploaded them to the eVisa portal, made the payment, and waited two weeks. Since my residential address is no longer in Germany but on Koh Samui since a few years already, a current photo and a certificate of residence were requested. A few hours after uploading, I received a rejection notice from the system without further explanation.

Question 1: Is there a contact person who can tell me the reason for the rejection? I selected the embassy in Munich for processing.

Question 2: I found different information on the internet about how long the funds (400k) must remain in my Thai bank account – 2 or 3 months?

Question 3: I will try again next week, but 8 days later I have to extend my current tourist visa by 30 days – is there a minimum validity period for the visa in order to apply? Otherwise, I may have to switch to a visit wife visa here.

Thank you very much for your help! Krap pom
