Denied in Taipei🥲

Type: remote worker (for 1 company, not freelance)

Situation: coming from non B visa

Heartbroken to say that I was denied in Taipei. It is a specific situation, as I have worked in Thailand, legally for 3 years. I accepted a remote job and came to Taipei to switch my visa type to DTV.

Even with a current contract and first payment made by current company (+600,000 tbh banked and consistent income for past 6 months from past job), they denied because they wanted me to have 6 months of income *from my current contract.*

Note: I also had everything else in order, including the employment letter (stating remote position), company registration documents etc.

The issue they had, specifically, was was that I hadn’t been in my current role for 6 months. Pretty much they told me to leave and try again in 6 months time when I am established at my new job. There was no remedying it with them.

— and genuinely this was so shocking because I’d never heard of this being the case for anyone else before. Am I wrong on this?

So, if you are coming from a non B and are switching to remote work, please be aware that this is the way Taipei approaches this scenario.

If you have a similar work history but successfully gotten a DTV visa, can you please comment? I’d really like to understand what else I can do and how I can better plan my application in the future.

Has anyone applied for a DTV. Been denied, then reapplied and been successful?

Mine is currently processing but I was just wondering as I don’t think I’ve seen any discussion about it.

I was denied to apply for DTV/Medical Treatment (2-year period) and was redirected to "Non-Immigrant Type-O-Medical Treatment."

Why did they do that, and what is the difference between DTV/MT and NIT-O-MT for me in this case?

Can Thai passport holders visit friends in the uk?

Hello all,

I applied for a normal TR Visa and it was DECLINED with the reason "place of issue in e-visa system not match with passport"... for understanding: I hold an italian passport but living in Germany. Place of issue was Hannover, Germany which I wrote in the e-visa system. This information is NOT visible on the first passport page of an italian passport which you also upload. Therefore Thai embassy said that place of issue would be Italy which is different than what I stated in the e-visa system.

I already wrote them a mail together with the page in my passport showing it was issued from the italian embassy in Hannover, Germany.

What should I do if they not accept this and want me to start a new visa process? My flight goes already next week and honestly spoken in my point of view this is a mistake by the embassy and not me.

My E-visa application status says “Cancel Visa Application”

That can’t be good. Does that mean denied?

I wanna to know if anyone who has had the dtv approved has been denied entry by the immigration officer.

Especially for those who have been previously warned for using too many tourist visas.

Thanks in advance.

I was denied a DTV Visa at the Vancouver Thai Consulate, I am self employed, doing all my business online, I had previously called the consulate to ask if I would qualify, the person I talked to before I applied said I would be OK, now the consulate is saying I am not approved, I paid teh $650, no idea what to do now. I'll call them monday and ask what I can do, maybe sign up for cooking classes, I'll find out how many classes ect. I spent a lot of time getting my business documents for them, in the end they said I did not qualify. I don't understand I do all my business online, self employed, and was told by an employee at the consulate that I qualified (before I paid the fee)

Having trouble getting a Thia friend a visa to visit USA for a holiday. Tried a service, they did nothing and she was denied. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Gutted this morning, my partner in Thailand has been turned down for a visa to visit the UK, long story and I understand this page is about Thai visa’s, however I would appreciate any advice with regards to a helpful FB page in relation to UK visas. Thank you in advance.

*** update - the reason UK immigration have given to refuse the visa for her is that me being the sponsor only has £1,200 in the account I submitted and therefore wouldn’t have enough to pay for a return air ticket and support her whilst she was in the UK, also said she only had £433 pounds in her Thai bank which wouldn’t be enough for her for the two week holiday to the UK. The application was submitted 29th April for a visit early June, it would appear you have to have lots of funds at the time of application to cover the flights etc even though advised not to purchase a flight ticket until a visa has been issued, also why would they assume I would purchase a flight for her using the money in that account, I have other debit and credit cards which I could have used, absolutely bizarre decision.
