So, if you submit your visa application and it comes back with an incorrect passport issuing date, even if they have a photo document of your visa, you still lose out on $200 and they don't approve you.

Hello Folks,

I just received a visa rejection email from the Thai Embassy in Dhaka. I applied under the Workcation Visa category on June 22, and today, instead of moving forward from “Pending Document Check,” it went straight to Visa Rejected.

Not sure what I might have missed! But I can ensure you that all documents and the input on e visa portarl was correct and legit.

Here’s what I submitted:

✅ Bank statements and solvency certificate (with more than the required amount, over 6 months) with regular tranjactions.

✅ Employment confirmation letter and an LLC company report from my employer (I work with them via Upwork). Been working for that company for the last 3 years..

✅ Upwork income certificate for the last 12 months.

✅ Freelancer ID issued by the Bangladesh government.

✅ All other regular documents (residency proof, air ticket, hotel booking, etc.)

Do you think I should apply again? If yes, when would be the right time?

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Happy traveling, everyone!

Thank you.

DTV - Remote Work Approved - Singapore.

Applied on 12th March, request more doc on 23th. Request for interview on 19th and approved right after.

I suspect it's part of their SOP here in Singapore for interview just to verify documents and some basic questions on finance statement.

Important lesson:

1. Rejected my first application because I summited my application while I was still in Thailand, they could verify my TH exit stamp during interview. Rejected right on the spot so I had to apply again. My fault 100% so please do not risk this and lose your application fees.

2. My bank statement is mostly transfers to my Thai bank (spending and payments), also incoming transfers from my income. I supplied(They asked) my Thai bank statement so they could verify I am not just moving money out and back. I suspect they are looking out for money laundering. They want to make sure your bank account is actively in usage instead of just for applying for DTV.

During casual chat, I was told they are starting to reject DTV, not sure if it's just Singapore or embassies across the globe due to scammers etc.

Please treat your applications and their requirements like a checklist, strictly. You will get it approved if you check all their required boxes, also bank statement. No react.

Cover letters to explain various points like income sources and transfers would bring clarity so they could approve you faster.

Thank you all in the group for all the help!
