🚫 DTV visa application rejected with no reason provided 🚫

📩 Community Support Request — DTV (Soft Power) Application Rejected

Edit: New update, I was speaking to an agent and he said when they requested for all pages of passport this includes cover to cover of the passport and I missed some pages. 😓 I'm starting a new application now.

Hi everyone,

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

I recently applied for the DTV visa (Soft Power – Muay Thai) in Bali, Indonesia, and my application was rejected without any reason provided.

Before the rejection, the consulate asked me to submit every page of my passport, which I did, and then shortly after I received the rejection notice.

A bit of background about my situation:

✅ I’ve been traveling in and out of Thailand for the past 1.5 years (many visa runs, which are clearly visible in my passport)

✅ My source of income is rental property, and I submitted:

• 3 months bank statements showing >500,000 THB

• Tenancy agreement + renewal letter

• Stamp certificate

• Quit rent + assessment tax

✅ I previously overstayed 1 day, but I paid the fine at the border

So far, no explanation was given for the rejection, and I’m trying to understand whether:

1. Anyone has had a similar experience applying in Bali

2. My frequent visa runs could have affected the decision or the 1 day overstay

3. It’s worth reapplying there or trying another consulate/online

I’m currently considering speaking to an agency - Belkin Group Indonesia or MPG Bali Visa Agent for guidance, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has gone through something similar especially those applying through Soft Power / Muay Thai.

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

Thank you so much 🙏

It seems like so many people are having issues getting/ renewing their visas. I noticed many people are having problems with the banks too. This makes me weary about our upcoming move… any suggestions

Hello all. Please I want to know is it advisable for a nigerian that has been declined tourist visa twice this year to go and try to apply in Malaysia? Has anyone else ever experienced this? Would greatly appreciate some advice. Thank you.

Kind of related to a visa 🤷‍♂️.

I’ve been to Thailand 4 times this year so I don’t think I’m going to risk it again even with a visa not garenteed is it.

What’s Vietnam like people any good? Or Laos?

My partner and I applied on the same date for our DTV.

Both had the same amount of funds, both submitted the exact same proof info for our soft power DTV, both 100% put our personal info correctly.

However mine was approved and his wasn’t.

We can’t get our heads around this at all and find it really unfair.

Can this just be down to which officer checks your case?

Seems really disheartening.

I applied for a soft-power visa (DTV visa) with a Muay Thai camp at the Thai embassy in Cambodia, but it was rejected after two and a half weeks — and I don’t know the reason why. My documents should have been exactly as required by the Thai authorities. Now I’m not sure what to do next. Can anyone help or has anyone experienced a similar situation?

Anyone experienced your DTV is not reflected in the immigration system at the airport. They however accepted my print out. Is this common?

Thanks

hi, i'm a freelance web designer. My main client is an Australian development house. I do a lot of design work for one of their customers an online crypto casino. Do you think the Thai government would have an issue in giving me a DTV visa if i'm creating designs for an online casino but not working for them.

So..my condo requires me to pay my water and power bill by scanning a QR code with a Thai bank account..those of us on the DTV cant have Thai bank accounts? Or maybe we just cant use bangkok bank..I suppose the next move it to try to get an account with a different bank. They really make this more difficult than it should be

For those wondering why it's difficult to open a bank account, this could give you some information. Take it as you will..
