Hello Folks,

I just received a visa rejection email from the Thai Embassy in Dhaka. I applied under the Workcation Visa category on June 22, and today, instead of moving forward from “Pending Document Check,” it went straight to Visa Rejected.

Not sure what I might have missed! But I can ensure you that all documents and the input on e visa portarl was correct and legit.

Here’s what I submitted:

✅ Bank statements and solvency certificate (with more than the required amount, over 6 months) with regular tranjactions.

✅ Employment confirmation letter and an LLC company report from my employer (I work with them via Upwork). Been working for that company for the last 3 years.

✅ Upwork income certificate for the last 12 months

✅ Freelancer ID issued by the Bangladesh government

✅ All other regular documents (residency proof, air ticket, hotel booking, etc.)

Do you think I should apply again? If yes, when would be the right time?

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Happy traveling, everyone!

Thank you.

I got approved for the DTV using Discover Thai Nature about six months ago. I'm going to enter the country for the first time in about a month ( I haven't attended any sessions in person, obviously because I'm in the U.S ) and I'm wondering what I might get asked for when I go through customs. Has anyone gone through with Discover Thai Nature and been asked specific questions, or asked to prove 500,000 baht in an account?

Should I have printouts of the schedule or anything in particular to have on hand in case I get asked questions about my course? If it matters,I'll be flying into Chiang Mai.

Good day. If this question is not for this group, please forgive me and skip...

I made a mistake with booking my flight, and now I will have an 1 day overstay. What will be the best way to resolve this error?

What’s my chances of obtaining a DTV in Vietnam if I can only show 2 pay months pay slips and contract from my current UK employer that I have been working for 2 months and if I put the money in my account a few days before ?

Just a quick question - I'm getting ready to apply for a DTV from the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles and I was just wondering if I need to show a purchased plane ticket to Thailand when applying? Thanks.

Applying for a Thai drivers license:

Where and who should translate my German drivers license? The embassy writes:

A conversion of a German driver's license into a Thai one can be applied for in Thailand. Detailed information on the application process can be obtained from the Department of Land Transport.

Does this mean the German embassy has no role in this process?

For 90 day report, do we need the printed TM30 form? Or is it enough that our landlord filed it?

My family and I would like to apply for the DTV online.

What's the best / correct approach:

1. Submit my application first, and only once it's been approved, submit my wife's and daughter's application afterwards?

2. Or can we submit multiple - main and dependent - DTV applications together in one submission on the same day?

Can anyone here share some pointers? Many thanks in advance 🙏
