and a lot of visa agents don’t know what they are talking about as well

probably not. They want to see you have funds that you can access and technically use while in Thailand. My understanding is you wouldn’t be able to access funds in a fixed deposit account, nullifying the rational for why they want you to have those funds

So, for others who might see this: 1. Don’t enter a country on a 14 day visa extension (Cambodia, Laos, etc.). It isn’t practical. Just get a 30-day visa, as it gives you more flexibility. 2. Really shouldn’t use agents. Many have identified the various issues they have faced with them, first while applying and second when entering into Thailand. 3. If first application was canceled and needed to resubmit, really think through the amount of time you have left on the visa before submitting, especially when you entered on a 14 day exemption.

They want to see 500k in one savings account. It sounds like you sent different files and believe they will add the totals up. They won’t do that.

Anonymous participant I think it depends. There have been some applicants who never receive additional requests and then there have been applicants who received multiple requests, with each additional request seeming to have nothing to do with the previous request. What embassy did you apply via? Malaysian embassies seem to be the most problematic

Anonymous participant 716 the OP doesn’t have a visa to extend. He/she is there on a 14 day visa exemption (assuming they are from one of the ASEAN countries).

When did you fly from Thailand to Poland, via USA?

How is your revenue greater in Thailand? DTV doesn’t allow you to work in Thailand
John *******
DTV means you are a digital nomad, therefore you do not work in Thailand. Therefore any urgent business meeting would be online, not in person. If you are saying to the embassy you need to return to Thailand for an urgent business meeting, you are putting a red flag on your application

You need to check with the embassy to ensure they actually accept that type of course. Many don’t accept language programs, and yoga too, might not be accepted. Some also want to see that the training is longer than 6 months
