When doing the online DTV, does the applicant have to pay the 300 dollar fee before or after the visa is approved? Because what if the applicant pays before the visa is approved, and eventually the visa gets denied, does that mean the applicant just lost 300 dollars?

DTV obtained, Los Angeles consulate. Rejected first try. Received email after 4 grueling weeks that I had not typed my name exactly the same or had added or removed a space in typing my name, so different compared to my passport. Lost the $400, nonrefundable - that hurt! No response from Thai Evisa folks about details for my rejection. LA consulate responded by email just saying the money is nonrefundable and I would have to do a new application. Applied again, though I didn't know the exact mistake I made. Carefully typed my name...

Received based on Workation. I have a LLC, incorporated a few years already, and work is now done online. I sent incorporation paperwork, local city business license paperwork, and an affidavit (Googled examples of this after reading notes on this forum) attesting I am the owner, sole worker, all work done online, will have no Thai clients, etc. Sent current account statements. Driver license for proof of residency. Copy of passport. Current photo.

Everything same as first application. Paid again. Approved this time in approx 10 days.

Hello, has anyone been rejected for the DTV visa even when they brought all the required documents? My partner and I brought everything and were told that we pay but we might won’t receive the visa and there would be no refund.

Has someone applied in some embassy, paid, and got rejection only on the day of passport pickup?

Hello, posting this on behalf of my friend. He is currently in China and from Nepal.

“ I had applied for Thai visa, it said that there was an incorrect information & later I got an email which said that it had been cancelled, I’ve already paid the fee. Is it possible to get the refund ? Or should I apply & pay the amount again ?

Any help is appreciated 🙏🏼

Question for anyone who has got a tourist visa in HCMC before... I see it costs $40, I'm wondering do I pay that when I apply on day one, or when I pickup on day two?
