Anonymous participant Hopefully the Embassy will give you some feedback. It must be extremely frustrating not knowing the reason. I used to hate it after job interviews.

Anonymous participant It can depending what was added. An agent told me they had a client refused due to one. I think it was fraudulent documents used in Netherlands. The next embassy would note process till not removed. Only the originating embassy or a "Friendly" immigration officer engaged by an agent can remove it. If it was me I would first contact a Thai Agent with contacts to check if there is any note. After that they can guide you. PS: The agent did not refund the application fee for second rejection as client had not told them about first one.

I was just discussing similar with my trainer yesterday (A Gym Owner and I do not do MT lol). He has about 100 DTV's approved through his gym. Said he should offer a 1 year subscription model to these when course ends for say 10k THB. Supply all the documentation and they can call off lessons as and when.

The Hague does seem to be a tough embassy to apply to. They are also known for leaving notes on an applicants immigration file too.

Currently, if approved, that is the only course you need to take for the 5 year visa. However, if you extend at an immigration office in the country, you will have to show an ongoing course. If you leave and re-enter for a new 180 day term currently there are no checks for an ongoing course.

Only if the particular Immigration Officer picks it up. I know a few who have missed one, travelled then came back, reported and nothing said.

If you extend at an Immigration Office in Thailand you will need to prove ongoing courses. However, the overwhelming majority choose to do a border run to get a new 180 day stamp. Currently, there are no checks that you have ongoing courses booked.

Anonymous participant It well over 20 years since I have been to the Thai Embassy on London. Back when you had to go in person for a Touriat Visa. I used to sometimes go to the Thai Square nightclubs at Trafalgar Square around that time. Thai Embassy and Thai Airways staff sometimes there. Anyway - hope you make your flight next week.

No need to do it again if they have not been anywhere else.

Hopefully as you had an interview the process is a little faster. As I said yours was the first interview I had heard of in London. Good luck anyway and hope it all works out.
