ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

Filling out eVisa online applications at Thai Consulates for visas

A LOT of people get their application cancelled once they apply due to a data 'mis-match'. ☹️ This happens because they either keyed in the wrong info on one of the fields

OR

what most often happens IS when you scan the MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) on the data page of your passport and the system auto fills there's a mistake between what was filled in and what is actually on the passport.

People don't bother checking that all the fields are correct and submit the application.

Sadly for them, as soon as the embassy catches the mis-match in data from the actual passport image and the application they cancel the visa and you lose the application fee. 😲

Some tips:

* Go SLOW <- it's not a race to see who can get it done the fastest

* Recheck the data entry portion of the application for errors before you submit the application..

It should be noted that IF you correct an error on the application in the MRZ auto-fill area and save that application in your profile (to submit when you get to the country you're going to apply thru) many times the information goes back to what was auto-filled and the correction is erased, so check it one last time before you submit the application..

Remember EVERY thai consulate in the world now uses eVisa online application system. There is no "walk up and apply" consulates.

There are "walk up and pay" ones, where you apply online for the visa, get a QR code and show up at the consulate to pay (the two thai consulates in Vientiane and Savannakhet Lao)

and

there is at least one consulate where you need to make an appointment to show up and pay in person after you applied online for the visa (the consulate in Yangon Burma). Most of the other consulates that I am aware of are all pay online ones.

Also you can only upload ONE file per section (where an upload is required) so find a 'file merging' free program on the inter-web and combine the bank statements into one file, marriage documents, etc into one file (watch the file size) so that you can get everything uploaded that is required

Many times if you are sent a request for additional documentation it "resets" the processing time (not always though) so if you can fill out the application without then sending a request for additional documents you're ahead of the curve 👍

The eVisa online application portal is not brain science or rocket surgery. In fact for a website here in thailand it's a pretty user friendly one 🙂 All too often the problems people experience are "self inflicted" (caused by going too fast thru the application process)

Sincerely best of luck with your eVisa application process.

Hello everyone, I’m just a few days away from doing my DTV in Hanoi, Vietnam. I would like to know if I can pay with a Visa card at the embassy.

Anybody of DTV visa fee online payment today? I tried several times with different cards but cannot successfully make the payment

Anybody has the same?

How am I to pay for evisa when it just keeps getting declined? I tried different cards and still the same.

I heard Ed Thai visa cannot be done from Thai embassy anymore and it is done by applying and submitting papers online only and getting the stamp in passport upon arriving. My question is what is the mode of payment? Is that limited to online payment? And what can I do if my card just expired few days ago and it’s gonna take over two weeks for replacement. Is there any other way to pay?

Greetings and thanks for allowing me in your group. Maybe somebody can help with an issue I’m having. I fill out my DTV application online and everything is fine. That is until I go to pay the fee🤷🏻‍♂️

Every time I try to pay the application fee, it gives some kind of error message saying not accepted or canceled? I have used three different web browsers and five different credit cards and nothing works..

I have called my credit card companies and they say there are no problems with my cards such as fraud, and calling the Thai embassy here in America they say their website is working fine

I have checked my information over and over again and everything is correct. Last year with the regular E visa I had no problems at all. Can anybody clarify what might be the issue outside of everything I already verified above that is not the issue?

Thank you in advance 🙏

At the thai Visa website, is anyone else getting the error message when they go to pay the fee for their Visa;

" sorry something went wrong < is an invalid start of the value path $ Line number 0 " ....

I just want to pay for my Visa 😕

Ok. How’s everyone

How do you get a receipts from embassy for paying for visa when you pay online.

Thanks
