@Andi **********

Chiang Mai seems to want to see a Thai Bank. I was even told by one agent it must be a Thai Bank in Chiang Mai for my extension. My bank accounts in Bangkok and Pattaya would need the agent authorised to get the required documents FFS

Anonymous participant Requirements can change from embassy to embassy. The local guys in charge have discretion. The local Ambassador/Consular Head will make the decisions. The MFA set the minimum guidelines then local discretion.

What could have caused the rejection of a Soft Power Muay Thai visa application in Hanoi?

Greg ********

Anonymous participant You might want to contact an agent who has contacts that can check the system. Some Embassies put a note against rejections. Not a and probably very few but it might be worth a check. A well connected agent can check this.
