Hey guys . I’m kind of devastated. I got rejected even though I gave everything. No reason it just says rejected… any ideas of what I can do.

✅ Approved 🎉

I applied for the Soft Power Muay Thai DTV through the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles.

Application submitted: Monday, 10 a.m.

Approval received: Tuesday, 11:25 a.m. → ~24-hour turnaround

What I submitted:

Bio data page of passport

Passport photo

Proof of current address (front & back of driver’s license)

Three months of bank statements showing $17.2k USD

Tiger Eye MMA documents: invitation letter, payment receipt(6 month membership), boxing board registration, company affidavit

Notes:

Straightforward process

No extra documents requested

I wasn’t asked for proof of accommodation, but I had it ready just in case

A huge thank you to this group, especially those who shared their processing times. It really helped me set realistic expectations. I did not include any other documentation or cover letter for the Soft Power DTV. Hopefully this helps the next person applying out of L.A. Thank you. ✨️

When applied for the marriage visa at Hua hin and shown all documentation and received non o 90 days, when go back after 90 days do they re check all paperwork and bank balance or just stamp the yearly one in.

I have a silly little question. I'm starting to put my documents package together, and when I took the photo that they required it dawned on me, should I take my glasses off so it is the same as my passport? Any other glasses wearers have issues?

Hi, what are the documents you need for the 60 days extention for visiting Thai wife? Thanks.

Just got a request for further documents:

* Other request documents: Please upload a copy of the business registration (in English or accompanied by an official English translation) in the case of self-employed persons/sole proprietors. The document must include the applicant’s personal details.

I have no business registration because I work as a freelancer. Previously, I attached a contract with my long-term client and screenshots from my Upwork account, as well as previous jobs completed. What can I do now?

Hello guys I've received this requesting documents on 6th may and I submitted my company registered certificate and my business account statement but up to now I never receive any message on my email

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate your advice🙏

1) I’m an online freelance teacher with no official employer. What should I include in my professional portfolio for the application? Are bank slips accepted as proof of income from clients? Do I need to show contracts with my students? I’d especially love to hear from other freelance teachers who’ve been through this process

2) I plan to apply as the main visa holder, with my husband as a dependant. However, the required 500K baht is in *his* account. Has anyone successfully applied with the funds in a spouse’s name? Is it accepted?

3) Lastly, for someone with a Russian passport, which country is currently the easiest and fastest to apply from — Malaysia, Cambodia, or Vietnam?

Those of you who applied under workcation for remote worker and had to include paystubs from your employer, on which part of the visa application did you upload those? Do they go in #4 with the bank statements? Or in #5 with the employment contract and employment verification letter?
