Just got a rejection notice from the Thai Embassy in Singapore.

I applied via the freelancer route - supplied all the documents necessary within the application form. My portfolio, my bank account showing 500,000 THB for 3 months.

I'm also a Singapore citizen applying.

I find it so weird that they didn't ask for more documents nor for an interview, but it just went from "Document Checking" > "Waiting for Approval" > "Rejected"

I'm trying to call them now to find out the reason. Should I head down to the embassy in person to ask for the reason for this 'ineligibility'?

Edit: Is there anything I can do about this now? Or just take the L and try applying from another country?

That $500 application fee hurts and I'm not sure if I would be willing to spend to try again even with Soft Power. It's ridiculous.

I have a question. I have already got a 30 days extension for my non o visa stay permit after my first 60 days stay permit. now I wanted to know if there is any other way except a border run and re entry to get another extension or get a visa because I see that flying to another country may be more expensive than just extending the stay permit. I would appreciate any kind of help. And another question : is there a minimum amount of days that I have to stay in the border countries or can I basically return the next day to Thailand getting the 60 days permit again in the sense of a 1-day tour if they ask ?

I got the DTV, will stay 2 years in Thailand, after this will go back for my country to stay like 1 year there, if I just want to travel for a while in Thailand, like 3 weeks, after staying 1 year outside, should I do immigration with the DTV Stamp or Tourism Stamp? My Passaport dont need visa for tourism.

My DTV is MuayThai.

Thank you so much for all the help! Kob kun ka

Sorry to be this guy, but my usual agent has not responded, and neither has one I found through google.

Can anybody recommend an airport entry agency? Thank you.

Hello everyone I can’t find the answer so sorry if it has already been answered. My question is : how long do I have to leave the country to Thailand when I get my DTV? Can I ask it now and leave in 3 months for example? Thank you 🙏

This is a first for me …. I’m collecting my extension renewal ( non o ) on the 21st Oct . I was out of the country for a family funeral and so I gave to also do a 90 day in person . The earliest day I could go ( 14 days before) is the following week .

Do you think I stand a chance of getting it done on the 21st ( basically a week early ) to avoid another trek to Chaeng Wattana .

Hello everyone,

Has anyone been to Jakarta recently? Is there still a lot of chaos in Indonesia, or is it safe to travel there and submit for my DTV application?
