During my last visits to immigration, I saw an incredible number of passports, some of which had been brought by agencies. There were lots of people queuing at each counter to present their passports for various reasons. My question: has it ever happened to any of you, independently of agencies or yourself, that your passport was lost? If so, what did you do to solve the problem, because the passport is the most important document?

Did anyone have any issues getting accepted for a Visa if there are mismatched addresses on documents?

My business is registered to my moms address (I was traveling full-time so needed something stationary), my passport address is my old address, and my driver's license is at my new address.

First entry with DTV visa

Suvarnabhumi

presented my passport and DTV visa. immigration officer looked frustrated/angry and called a superior over and i was taken to the interrogation area.

Waited around an hour in the interrogation area with about 50 other people until my name was called, sat down and the officer said "oooh DTV visa very nice, I dont know why you pulled over here, the officer must have been confused, enjoy your stay" .. no other questions asked.

weird and inconvenient

I remember reading in the past people were refused an elite visa after getting an education visa. I guess the DTV is still too new to know if anyone has had issues getting an elite visa after getting a DTV visa?

Update:

I previously posted about being rejected by Los Angeles after 17 days pending document check because the system had deleted my middle name before submission.

I re-applied and, after about one week, received the following document requests:

"Other request documents: Business portfolio

Other request documents: Please upload a business registration of the company

Other request documents: Your recent tax return

Other request documents: Guarantee letter from the company implies that you work remotely

Other request documents: Employment contract or employment certificate from company"

—"Business portfolio":

It would sure be helpful if they explained what they mean by that. In my original application, I included links to two of my freelance portfolios where they can see dozens of pieces of work from the last couple of years. Should I print out hundreds of pages of work as the portfolio? My main current job is a large project that is not yet finished for them to see.

—"Business Registration":

Again, it would be helpful if they were a bit more explicit. The main foundation I work for has a prominent website. I Googled their "business registration" and all their information since 2001 is available on Propublica.com. I guess I will print that out and submit that?

—"Recent tax return":

That is clear enough. I didn't file this yet this year, but I will do that today.

—"Guarantee letter from the company implies that you work remotely":

This is funny because I am a literary translator and writer, so of course my work is remote, but my contract doesn't explicitly say that because it's obvious. I will request that from my main employer spelling it out.

—"Employment contract or employment certificate from company":

This is the most troubling because I already submitted a very thorough copy of my contract to them. So I am very confused as to why they are asking for it again.

Overall, it doesn't look very promising. At least they didn't ask me for more financial documentation. I will submit these docs and hope for the best, but I'm pretty discouraged by this opaque system with no recourse. If it fails again, I'll try to go through an agent, which is probably much more reliable.

Attention Attention! Please let this incident be an example to everyone, do good research.

I came to Phuket Muay Thai course with Soft Power DTV. I paid 24000 baht for 6 months, 1 lesson per week. But the gym says that the money I paid is for the visa and does not include the lessons. I have all the documents and invoice. Right now, I want to overcome the language barrier and solve this in a good way. But what should I do if I can't solve it? Thank you.

Good day, having just submitted my 90DR on 12th Feb., I received an email this evening saying it was rejected.

I have been submitting them previously online for at least a year without any problem.

It was submitted within the 15 day period.

Is it okay to try again?

Could there be any reason for this?

Thanks all.
