Typically, Immigration doesn’t cancel visas issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, DTV is such a long lasting visa. It is an unknown.

regardless, the OP is stating it is taking longer than expected, but applied 2 weeks ago and received follow up requests. Each request adds another 5-10 days, so still within the defined time (maybe it takes longer then that though).

- If you search this site, you will see screenshots are not usually accepted. Furthermore, they need to be officially translated into Thai or English and have your name on them (no one else’s name nor business accounts). When I submitted, I submitted 20+ pages (last 3 months). It also has to be a liquid bank account. Nothing crypto or gold or something else. For photos, have you not had passport photos done before? Could you not reuse those?

Were there issues with your bank statements and photos? Their website says it can be 5-10 business days after complete application is submitted.

It wasn’t three buisness days though. The 27th was Friday and 30th a Monday.

If everything is legit, it looks like you were originally accepted (either truly or by mistake) and then something happened for them to retract that approval and change it to rejected. As others have said, I don’t think I have seen this happen before. Could they have come to a second decision that something you submitted was false paperwork? Is this soft power or remote work? If Soft power, could they have learned something about the course that you plan to take, which resulted in them changing their minds? Did you use an agency? Only way you will get real answers (if they even respond), is from the embassy.

Was the first email real? Did you download the visa? Why did you think the second email looked strange? What embassy?

Anonymous participant also check previous posts, as the LA consulate may request additional documents. If you have them prepared, can streamline the time. I believe they ask for tax returns
