Hello, I applied for a non-immigrant O visa last night through the Los Angeles consulate. I filled out everything and attempted to pay with my Chase Visa debit card. When I submitted the application with the $80 charge, Chase immediately declined due to fraud alert. I acknowledged that it was actually me who made that charge, but now my application is showing “pending payment”. Does the consulate resubmit the charge or will I have to do another application? It’s only been 12 hours, but how long do you think Inshould wait?

Submitted application and payment to Chicago consulate and it is now telling me “pending payment” after it said my debit payment failed. I did not receive any sort of fraud notification from bank, nor have a seen any payments out of my account. It’s not giving an option to retry payment again. Any advice on what to do? Thanks in advance 🙏

Update: I restarted application and used another debit card. Had to verify with bank before having it approved the 3rd time! It’s now in processing.

I finally submitted my application now that I landed in Vietnam but it keeps saying payment failed or canceled. I only have one international debit card with Charles Schwab that I’ve taken and used in over 12 different countries with no issue. I have a travel notice set for both Vietnam and Thailand and I am currently using it for other purchases.

I’ve tried safari, chrome, DuckDuckGo, laptop and mobile and keep getting failed payment. I’m so stressed out does anyone have a solution please? I’m on hold with my bank but their headquarters are in Texas and no one has answered yet. I want to give up.

EDIT: the Thai eVisa payment processing center is a Thai bank however its address is located in HONG KONG. I called my bank and they approved the charge and added Hong Kong to my travel alerts in addition to Vietnam and Thailand.

According to the Schwab representative I called, the eVisa website also used the current address zip code for the billing address - which is so nonsensical bc if I have to be in the country of the embassy I’m applying to why would they use the current address zip code for the billing zip code? Why not ask for that when taking down payment information?

Anyway, hope this helps any future applicants

Hi I’ve got a problem with the eVisa system. I hope someone can advise me how to proceed.

A week ago I applied for Non-O visas for me and my wife at the Thai embassy in Berlin, completed the applications and paid with my credit card. I just checked the progress and both are marked “Pending Payment.”

Now just around that time, without any prior warning, my bank swapped out my credit card due to a “security issue.” All the payments I made around that time on the old card were honoured, but I see there’s no debit for the visa payments.

On the eVisa website, there’s no mechanism for going in and changing the payment details.

Does the “pending payment” mean they just haven’t gotten to my application and processed the payment? Or does it mean the payment was blocked and never went through? (Maybe my bank’s security problem was actually the visa payments processed by Kasikorn.)

Should I just let those applications die and submit new ones with the payment from my new card? Or wait for them to come back to me and ask for payment?

We’re traveling to Thailand mid-August so the clock is ticking.

For the last 4 hours, I have tried to pay for my application via the website. But it keeps saying " payment failed or cancelled." Now there is nothing wrong with my cards and I also tried numerous browsers and even cleaned out my cache. I have no idea what to do from here. I have heard people online say it took them 3 days before the website would accept their payment. Does anyone have any idea how I can resolve this issue? Thank you.

I've filled up my application and am trying to proceed to payment. But I can't?

I've already highlighted the application as seen on the 1st screen shot. And the big yellow "proceed to payment" doesn't have any responses.

Yes I've tried restarting the browser in fact, I switched to chrome but it's all the same.

Any possible solutions or what have I missed? Thank you.
