Hi everyone, I'm in Laos Vientiane, waiting for interview in 2 days. Did ever happen to someone to get rejected after the interview? Thank you 😊

Hi everyone, I would like to ask for some advice regarding my visa application.

My application was recently cancelled by the Thai Consulate, and I was told that my cooking course (10 half-day sessions) does not meet the requirement for a long-term visa.

However, I noticed that some people mentioned they successfully applied with a 6-month cooking course.

May I ask:

- Did anyone here apply successfully with a course that has around 10 topics or limited contact hours?

- How many total hours per week or month did your course include?

- Did your school provide any special documents to support the visa?

I am now considering whether to change my course or apply for a different visa type.

Any advice or shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

If rejected at HCMC is it possible to reapply immediately at Hanoi ?

Hi everyone. I’ve just had my DTV visa rejected and wondering if anyone has any tips for getting this thing approved.

Back story to help:

I first applied in Shanghai at the Thai embassy on Jan 18 2026. After almost 70 days of waiting and countless times of being asked for documents I don’t have (such as Chinese social insurance - impossible to get) as well as being asked to upload the same documents repeatedly. I eventually decided to cancel that application.

That was on March 27. Since there is no cancelation channel on the application site, they told me to submit a signed request. I did, then asked for cancellation confirmation - silence. Followed up- silence. Today (April 15) that is still not cancelled and has been 87 days since the application date and “pending document check”

Anyway, I reached out to an agency who helped with my partners DTV. They said to fly to Hanoi and apply there. I did. I’m in Hanoi now. Rejection came today after 1 week.

I don’t really understand why.

My bank account has significantly more than the required 500k baht.

I am self employed- showed company registration cert from Hong Kong (where my business is registered) , signifiant controller docs, share allocations etc,

I submitted 1 personal bank account, 1 company bank account, transactions over a certain period, cover letter and all that. I don’t make any money in Thailand or from Thailand which was clearly stated. Nothing was fabricated in my application and I genuinely believe my application was strong. Yet for some reason was rejected.

The agent told me it may be the embassy here in Hanoi - that they sometimes hit limits on what visas they can approve over a period and that even a “perfect” application can get rejected at times.

They’ve suggested going to Ho Chi Minh City and applying from there stating they have faster processing times and are generally easier to work with but also ask for more documentation (which is fine)

Anyone else been in a similar position? Any insight would be helpful because I’m at a loss as to why it was rejected tbh.

TIA

Hi everyone,

I need some clarification regarding my DTV visa application status.

On the portal, my application is showing “Finished” with a green indicator. However, when I open the reference number, it shows “Cancel Visa Application.” I also haven’t received any email regarding this update.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Does this mean rejection, or could it be a system/technical issue?

Would really appreciate any insights. Thank you!

Update: Got this email today (26/03/2026) at 02:58 p.m. without any reason being mentioned.

Hello everyone, I submitted my application in Hanoi on the 18th and provided additional documents on the 19th. Today, my application was rejected. However, I do not know the reason for the rejection.

I applied under the soft power category (Muay Thai), and the gym I chose is properly qualified. My bank account also has sufficient funds.

What should I do next?

（Could it be related to the fact that I previously applied for two ED (education) language visas? Or is it because I hold a Chinese passport?）

Rejected twice

Hey everyone,

Time to ask again for some advice, last year around october I applied in the hague for a dtv after getting rejected I travelled on a tourist visum and went back in december to the Netherlands, thereafter I applied for the METV and it got accepted.

Now in march I tried in Hanoi to get a DTV (softpower house of taste 6 month course) again rejected. My documents were checked and should be in order I used templates of people in this group.

Now I feel a bit hesitant to try one last time in Laos. What do you guys advise to do, both were rejected not cancelled all the documents were in order. Translated stamped etc.

Best regards,

A

If rejected because you have submitted incorrect document can you reapply with the correct info?

Request for Guidance on Applying for a Thai Visa (Ho Chi Minh City)

Hello, I’m currently applying for a Thai visa in Ho Chi Minh City for my skydiving competition trip. Although the embassy asked me to submit additional documents twice, my application was still rejected. I am also the director of a company, so I’m not sure if there might be any specific requirements related to my profile.

Could you please share some guidance on how to apply for a Thai visa more successfully? 😭
