Is it normal that the Thai SETV system only shows the first page of PDFs?

Hey guys,

I’m applying for the Thai tourist visa (SETV) online and I’m really confused about the document upload system.

I’m doing everything from my phone (no computer available), and here’s what happened:

• I uploaded my round-trip flight ticket in one single PDF (page 1 = departure, page 2 = return).

• I also uploaded my bank statement: page 1 with the balance, then the following pages with my transactions for the last 3 months.

• But then I got an email saying that my return flight was “missing” and also that my 3-month transactions were “missing.”

The problem is that when I hit the preview button in their portal, it only shows me the first page of the PDF. I assumed the agent could download and see the whole PDF on their side… but it looks like they only check the first page??

Now I’m stuck because:

• How the hell am I supposed to put a full bank statement (3 months of transactions) into one single page? That’s literally impossible unless I photoshop a collage.

• I already uploaded complete documents, but they still asked me again as if I didn’t.

Is this normal? Can the officers actually download and see the full PDF, or do they really only check page 1? Anyone else had the same issue doing the application from mobile?

Good evening! What type of multi-entry Visa (other than DTV) is fast (hassle free) and cost efficient for those who intend to stay up to 1 year in thailand.?

So having been stopped at immigration last time I visited and advised to get a proper visa I am now in the process of applying for and SETV. Every photo I upload seems to have an issue although you can clearly see who I am it appears to be the background that's the issue is this likely to cause me a problem as I don't have any clearer photos? It requires flight details even though a visa has not been issued so do I book a flight and take a chance that I might be refused? It asks for accommodation details although my plans are fluid you cannot just put a one night stay in an hotel as it requires you to advise of all your intended stays for the duration of your intended stay which is 41 days in my case. Your advice is greatly appreciated TIA

I was in thailand with a single entry tourist visa. I used up all 90 days (overstayed 4) and am now in Koh Rong, Cambodia.

Does anyone know how long I must stay out of Thailand before I can re enter and get another SETV? I have a british passport.

I will be passing through the same border (Tran)

TIA

Hello, I’m currently in Thailand with a 60 days exemption visa and would like to travel to a border country (Laos, Cambodia, or Vietnam) to apply for a SETV from a Thai embassy. Is it possible even if I’m not a resident of these countries and just a tourist ?

Hello all,

stayed in Thailand this year on a METV from January until July (6 months). Planning to come back in November on a SETV.

Is there any valid reason that immigration could pull me over or should that not be the case since I stayed out of Thailand for over 3 months?

(one immigration officer some time ago told me: staying out of Thailand for min 3 month gives no space to assume one living in Thailand as a Tourist anymore... ?)

I went to Korat IMO today for my TM 30 report, I thought while I was there I would collect the forms for my 30 day extension, to fill in at home.

The lady on the counter asked to see my visa, which as it happens I had 60 day SETV

But then I thought why she is asking for my visa, when you can enter on a visa exempt for 60 days and still apply for the 30 extension.

Has anyone had an extension on a visa exempt ?

Hi, if you have setv, flying from UK (etihad flight), will we need onward ticket. Apologies if asked before.

Hi, with the SETV if you don't have a definitive itinerary...what is the best way of uploading accommodation details for UK applicants. I've got the first night booked in Bangkok and have evidence of that but want to be quite flexible after that......i understand only having one night may raise the question of why 60day visa is needed. Thank you in advance.

Hello all, appreciate advice here - we’re applying for an SETV from the U.K. and will have an outgoing flight as part of the procedure. Does the outgoing flight need to be within 60 days? Even though we’ll get an extension?

Thanks for your help!
