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.
Hello Guys, i want to apply for Thailand tourist visa but i think they need a bank statement .. the problem is that i have an online american bank .. do they accept online banks ?
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.
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 .
