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?

Hello people who have applied in Kuala Lumpur for the DTV soft power? I would like to know for the DTV soft power application, if they ask for the same documents that are requested on the official website? Because some say that it is strict. I would like to have feedback from people who have applied for it. Thank you

Was asked to show my bank account at the check in desk “airline” at Hanoi airport heading back to Bangkok has anyone had this too? Or is it a new thing? I have a soft paper visa

Recently renewed my Retirement extension at the Korat office. This form was among the package. New to me. Item 2. Any thoughts?

I’m curious whether any of you in the US have had difficulty getting your doctor to sign the Thai Consulate’s Medical Certificate form for the Non Immigrant OA Visa application.

Has anyone heard or DTV holders being interrogated upon re entry at Suvarnabhumi international airport, being asked to show 20k baht in cash, etc., or all smooth reentry stories? It will be my fourth entry on DTV and I know visa waiver folks are getting a lot of trouble with repeat entries - haven't heard stories like that of DTV holders yet, but wondering if anyone has. Thanks :)

Lots of posts about buying/investing in Thailand.

This article (just a screen dump) shows it’s a rocky road.

In my humble view, invest in the market you know and mostly that’s your home country.

Up to you

Hello, we would like to apply for the DTV Softpower visa. Our story in brief:

We applied for the first time in Germany at the end of April. It was rejected because the course only lasted 12 days instead of the minimum 6 months. The cooking school recommended this course to us, and to date, no other course has been rejected except for us.

We entered Thailand on May 21st. We left on May 29th for Vietnam, Hanoi, and applied again there, but this time for a 1-year course at the same school.

Rejected again in Hanoi – this time without explanation. However, our cooking school told us today that the exact week we applied for the visa in Hanoi, the consulate was very strict and there were sometimes up to 6 rejections a day.

We submitted both applications through the Issa Compass agency.

On June 4th, we entered Thailand without a visa, but I returned on June 4th. I left immediately due to a death in the family and traveled to Germany, re-entering Thailand on June 14th.

We would now like to extend our visa-free stay by 30 days and then try to apply for the DTV again in September, as the agency advised us not to do so again for another three months (it was rejected on June 2nd, so we’re commuting to September).

Which consulate is the „best“? Better saying: Where did you have the best experience?

Thank you for your help! 🙏

What is the most loyal consulate as of today? How quick the processs goes? Asking for a friend 🙃 Mine took almost a month in the states!

Hi everyone

Could you please let me know,

For those who’ve studied Thai—how long did it take you to reach a conversational level? I know everyone learns differently, but with studying 3 times a week 2 hours, is it realistic to expect basic conversation skills?

Also if you guys have any recommendations good reputation thai language school in aonag or hua hin that offers visa ED . I'm serious about learning thai but I also want to have the proper documentation .

Thank you 🙏
