I'm feeling quite dissapointed to share that my visa application has been rejected in Ho Chi Minh. 😭

I submitted my application on November 24th, and by November 27th, the status changed to "waiting for approval." No additional documents were requested during this time. However, last night, I received an email stating, "Your visa application has been rejected."

Anyone know of a visa agent in Kanchanaburi. I am discovering the gulf between immigration who want a bank account with money in it and banks who won't let you have an account without a visa. I need someone with the ability to break the circle.

Hello, I’m currently in Thailand on a ninety day Non-O based on having a half Thai child. I’m not married to my son’s father. My ninety days are up on the 4th February. We are located in Koh Tao which does now have an immigration office but I can’t get a clear answer from them on if they do the 60 day extension based on visiting Thai family, in which case my next option would be to go to Samui. Firstly, Would I be eligible for the 60 day extension based on visiting Thai family? Secondly, when I go to do a new Non-O do I have to show proof of funds if I go to Savannakhet in Laos? Thank you in advance. (As I side note I’m planning to do the year extension but I’m having trouble opening a Thai Bank account).

I am on a retirement visa and have 800,000 baht in a Thai bank in a one year deposit account. I have never touched it, just keep renewing it for a further one year every 12 months. However, on my last visit to immigration the officer was not happy as on the day when the deposit finishes the balance in my bank account is entered as 0 and then back up to 800,000 baht as I carry it forward for another year. This takes a few seconds and the money never leaves my account. Has anyone had a problem with this, any suggestions to stop it happening again.
