🚨 Hi everyone, I urgently need your help regarding the Non-Immigrant ED Visa for Thailand. 🚨

I applied for the ED visa online yesterday, and unfortunately received the message "Your visa application has been cancelled" just a few hours later.

The application fee was already paid, but unfortunately it’s non-refundable.

I wasn’t told the reason for the rejection, but when reviewing my documents I noticed that I had made a mistake in my initial application.

I had accidentally written the course period as July 2025 to November 2026, which would of course exceed the normal visa period. Even though the official school letter clearly says July 2025 to November 2025. I've now corrected that mistake.

However, I’m still unsure if there’s another issue.

According to the school's letter, the program starts on July 26, 2025, but my planned arrival in Thailand is only in September 2025.

Could this timing mismatch be the reason for the rejection?

Is it a problem if the course officially begins before I enter the country?

I’d really appreciate your help:

* What are the most common mistakes with the ED visa application?

* When specifying the duration of stay, do I need to match the course dates exactly, or only my personal travel dates?

* Do I already need to have a return flight booked for the visa to be approved, even if I plan to extend my stay later?

* What should I pay extra attention to?

* Has anyone had a similar experience and can give me advice?

Unfortunately, I can’t contact the embassy until Monday by phone or email.

Until then, I’d be really thankful for any tips or insights 🙏

I've been asked now a second time for additional documents, and they're asking for paperwork I've already submitted (employment contract, company registration paperwork, and no less than 17k.) I've provided ALL of these things at least once if not twice already. What does this mean? Are they just wanting to confirm, or is what I've submitted previously not what they're looking for? I need answers! I've emailed them a week ago but haven't heard back yet. Any insight will be helpful.

Has anyone had experience applying for a Thai E-Visa through the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh?

I submitted my documents and made the payment on 17 June, and the status has been showing “Pending Approval” since then. I haven’t received any updates, and I’m not sure how long the process usually takes.

Unfortunately, there’s no clear contact number, and I haven’t been able to reach them by email either.

If anyone has gone through this process and has advice on what I can do or how long it typically takes, I’d really appreciate your help. 🙏

Hello,

My visa application has been cancelled for "wrong name". I don't understand at all

Is this happened to someone?

Should I have put my second first name as middle name? (I am french)

Thank you

Edit : FYI and warning

My middle name was auto filled when I put the picture of my passport and everything was okay.

But if you save it and come back later, I don't know why, but the auto filled are gone and I forgot to put back my middle name.

Be careful and triple check everything even if it was okay before saving.

Have a good day

Hi all,

A shock to the system combined with a degree of ignorance.

My initial 12 month Non - O extension of stay (based on being over 50) expires in the first week of July and I intended to apply for a further 12 month extension based on the monthly income method of 12 consecutive months of international transfers (minimum 65,000 baht each month).

The issue is as follows:-

My Kbank branch informed me that my monthly deposits have been transferred from my Australian Credit Union to the Bank of America in Bangkok and therefore the transfer from them to my Kasikorn Bank account is not deemed to be an international transfer. The statements refer them to be automatic transfers (I was aware of that but still thought they counted as an international transfer).

Has anyone had similar issues and is there a way around it. I am meeting with a visa agent here in Chiang Mai on Monday.

Regards!

Graham

Hi everyone, does anyone managed to get a reason from Hanoi Embassy (or any Embassy) if DTV application is cancelled ? I applied with soft power

Sunday 25: submit and paid

Tuesday 27: additional documents requested and I provided

Later Tuesday 27: pending approval

Just now: application cancelled

I have no idea what I do wrong, I follow all the advices found in this group. I prepared only accurate document and double check all information I input on website.

I’m lost because I was really counting on this visa and I don’t know what to changes for next application, as I don’t know what was wrong on this one…

Is there any issues with the visa website right now. This morning I couldn't process the payment for my visa application. Spent 30 minutes on the phone with my bank and he was in contact with Visa cardholder to see why it wasn't going through. They verified that no suspicious activity and apparently the bank that handles payment processing is in Hong Kong. After all of that it still wouldn't go through. I checked the group and saw if there's a difference in any addresses then it'll fail. But I only have 1 address throughout the application and I entered it correctly. EDIT TO ADD. After another couple of hours of trying and calling the bank it finally went through.

Can’t get Thai Visa website to work. 100% need for Visa exemption now?

My friend is applying in Hanoi. The system has said 'payment failed' 3 times, using 3 different cards. He has changed browser from Chrome to Firefox, same thing. Now it just signs them out and returns to sign-in screen when they try to pay. The info is all correct. They think it might have something to do with addresses, but it's not clear how that would work, and the payment screen doesn't have any fields for address info anyway. There is nothing even showing up in bank app as pending or declined. Any advice would be appreciated 🙏

I submitted my application on Monday in Vientianne and had 2 requests for further documents (passport picture and financial evidecne. I uploaded those and yesterday the status went to pending approval. But today I got 2 emails again asking for the same documents. But if I login to the E-visa website it doesn't show I have to upload the documents like last time. It's still showing pending approval with no way to upload any extra documents. Has anyone experienced the same?
