My husbands DTV visa application rejected with no reason provided.

DTV ( e-commerce business owner ) Application Rejected

We are going to start new application, but before we want to find out what should be a problem here.

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to get some advice from this community.

We came firstly to Thailand in September 12, after month a vacation my husband flew to Hot Chi Min, Vietnam and started the application.

22 October started application -

He is citizen of Belgium (Born in Kazakhstan), but last three years we were living in Netherlands and all his statements from Netherlands.

He gave papers that proves that he is owning company. In Dutch and English.

Bank statement 3 months and so on…

Afterwards they asked for an extra documents:

- financial statement’s for 6 months : *but he gave only for one month*

- ⁠submit a photo of every page of his passport

- ⁠and an brief where he was describing how he is working remote. *now im thinking maybe this mail was too dry and official, maybe he has to describe that Thailand is a perfect destination for making business and developing… and so on.*

My husband also works as a remote worker for a dutch company, but because we are not sure that the company will give an officially that he can be in Thailand we didn’t mentioned this income.

Afterwards it was pending approval for last 2 days.

Today he received Visa application was rejected.

We were traveling in Thailand once year ago. That’s why no visa runs on passport was shown.

So far, no explanation was given for the rejection, and we are trying to understand whether:

1. Anyone has had a similar experience applying in Vietnam?

2. Can it be that the application was rejected because we already in Thailand and didn’t went to immigration office before application. We have been here as tourists so far.

3. The second is maybe because he gave only one month financial statement is the real reason for the rejection???

4. It’s worth reapplying there or trying another consulate?

Any insights, experiences, or suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you so much

I’ve read that visas for retirees are getting stricter and more enforced. Would the same restrictions be applied for other visas when applying from abroad or online? During the week over 10k student visas got questioned. Stories I’ve seen online.

As an Indian, can I apply for DTV from Laos, Hanoi or Bali?

Any success stories? Heard we can only apply from our home country.

Has anyone applied for primary DTV in one country while their spouse is physically present in a different country? Are there any Thai Embassies that have accomadated this complication?

I want to get a DTV from a soft power dental work application, here's my situation:

I recently got a crown done from a Bangkok Government Dental Office. I need to do another implant and crown on the other side and asked the doctor if he could give me a letter so I could apply for the DTV.

Pros - The letter from the doctor is on the office letterhead, is signed by him and has the "official" stamp. This is a government dental office.

Cons - The letter is pretty general saying that I got a crown done and that I plan to get an implant done on my next visit, and a crown after that. Unfortunately there are no specific dates/timelines/payment plans.

I'm heading to Vietnam in a few days and am thinking about applying from Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi.

I was also thinking about applying from Taipei since I read on here that you could talk to someone first before paying the application fee to see what your chances are. I also read on here that Taipei plans to go online application only in January 2025, and unfortunately I can't be there by then.

Also, I'm turning 50 next May so maybe I should go for the retirement O-A Visa instead?

Any thoughts or advice? Do I have a chance? Thanks!

My spouse is Ghanian and there is no thai Embassy in Ghana. Looks like London are refusing her application because she only has 2 year tourist visa for UK, even though she is in UK. How is someone meant to apply in this situation ?

Thanks for advance for your answers.

Has anyone had any success applying for a multiple entry tourist visa (evisa) whilst outside of Thailand (but not in country of origin and/or travelling in other counties).

My passports are British and Australia.
