I applied in Jakarta this Monday and the status changed to pending approval this afternoon. However, I received an email saying the application was rejected. Anyone has similar experience? I am really confused. No document was requested

I submitted my application to Hanoi on August 18th, but received a rejection on the 20th. I was working remotely, and all the documents were in order. Why was it rejected in just 2 days? If I change my soft skills documents and submit them again, will I have a chance? Do you have any reliable agents to recommend? I am in Vietnam now.

submitted my application in Jakarta and uploaded all the required documents, including:

Scanned copies of every page of my passport

Employment certificate issued by my company

Work contract

Bank statements (with monthly salary transactions)

Proof of deposit (balance meeting 500,000 THB requirement)

Jakarta entry stamp

Hotel booking confirmation

Location screenshots

But despite all this, my application was still rejected.

I carefully checked everything and made sure there were no mistakes in my submission.

The rejection came so unexpectedly, leaving me completely unprepared.

Our LTR visa application recently got rejected after almost 5 weeks despite full qualification and submission of all relevant documents.

There was no explanation given.

We've written emails to BOI but haven't heard back. Has anyone else been through this process and if so, can you suggest a way out? We seem to be at a dead-end.

French citizen rejected in Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam for soft power with 1 month course in a reputable Muay Thai gym in Phuket. I shown 3 months of >500k bank statements and highly-paid freelance invoices as proof of funds. I don't know what to do more, contacting an agent? I have only 2 weeks left in Vietnam, I can maybe modify my plans to have 2 weeks more.

Finally after 1 rejection I think cos of to earley aply I got my dtv now.

Netherlands embassy

Soft power with Wildcat Muay Thai . In chiang mai.

I recommend her aswel as she is verry helpful so you dont need an agent.

I'm so happy 😁

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share my visa status in case it’s useful for anyone. Unfortunately, my DTV visa application was rejected 😔 and I’m honestly not sure what went wrong.

Country - Bangladesh

Applied - Royal Thai Embassy, Dhaka

Category - Workcation, Remote worker

Application Timeline:

* Applied & paid visa fees – June 18, 2025

* Payment Submitted – June 18, 2025

* Pending Document Check – June 19, 2025

* Pending Approval – July 30, 2025

* Rejected/Canceled – July 31, 2025

Now I’m planning to apply for the Soft-power (Medical Treatment) category, as I have a year-long treatment history at a specific hospital.

If anyone here has applied for this category before, I’d be truly grateful for any tips or suggestions—especially on what additional documents could improve the chances of approval 🙏.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can step forward to help—it would mean a lot.

Hello,

My application for the DTV Soft Power Visa has unfortunately been rejected again – this time in Hanoi, Vietnam. I was not provided with a clear reason for the refusal, so I am unsure what the issue was.

Around two months ago, my application was already rejected in Cambodia because the documents from my previous Muay Thai camp were incomplete and insufficient. Since then, I have enrolled in a new, professional Muay Thai camp in Bangkok, booked a nine-month course, and submitted all the required documents in full.

As I believed everything was correct this time, I am now uncertain about what steps I can take in Hanoi to possibly have my visa approved, or what other options are available to me at this stage.

Could you please advise me on what I should do in this situation?

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Is there anyone got approved DTV visa while waiting only one month after being rejected from Cambodia and apply again in Vietnam ?

I heard some of people said it should wait for at least 3 months after rejection to apply again?

Ok, dreading to make this post for a while, but I assume it is always good to ask . So I finally got my act together (mid) last month and submitted the DTV. I filled everything out as it was supposed to be recommended, I even put together an 80 page portfolio out of nowhere.

I was already set back like one week because I asked something about the e-visa form which prevented me from filling it out correctly. After one week I got a six word response, no hello, good bye, in black letters on blue background. It looked like a 90s video game. That was already superweird.

Anyway, I tried to do everything by the book and I applied in Hong Kong, I have enough money, earnings, no extensive stay, overstay in TH, blabla.

Yes, I have also read the relevant sections here in this group, I think at least three times, I am also 100% sure I filled out everything correctly, but anyway I seem to have been a victim of that page 2 to page 4 conversion that I just forgot about. (There was only one number missing, I'm perfectly sure that was not me).

Nothing happened for two weeks, then I got this nice standard letter.

So, yes, put on all your snarky comments in there, I am over it. It happened already like a few days ago or something. After crying in bed for two days, revisiting all my life's failures and misfortunes and whatnot, considering other options (still do) I mean what can you do, life must go on, I guess I'll give it one more try:

So my questions would be these:

* (I guess there is no appeal process or anything)?

* I guess I can apply again, also under the workcation category, cos it was nothing substantial. I would strongly prefer applying under that category cos that's what I do, like I don't want to be questioned about some cooking course or whatever...?

* If it is strongly recommended I can apply in Hong Kong again, but if it's any possible, I would like to avoid that for several reasons (don't want to cluster up the thread more than I already have). I mean my main bank account, permanent resident, broker etc. are all in HK. I don't keep a permanent home in HK anymore though. I could rent another apartment on the monthly or something, but even that would cost me quite a bit more than mostly anywhere else. ?

* Is there any other, maybe friendly embassy/consulate somewhere, where I don't need to be a resident, don't need to have company (I am self-employed, stock market trading, I have enough history, income)? I am somewhat flexible with regard to location...

Thanks for reading and maybe any helpful pointers
