Im 100 % there will be checks. Than you will see people here tell you not to travel outside thailand and so on . I did my application as a business owner and plan to hold the business for 5 years. Yes my application required more paperwork but those that marely provided a gym class for a month will also get to do more things once they make the changes . I really hope to be wrong but it will be difficult to control all these people with no checks. Remember covid times … QR codes green line etc 🙏

Anonymous participant 314 true i really feel whoever made this visa really did not anticipate the demand and amount of fraud misuse etc. Why would someone open a company now or pay for the expensive priviledge visa . They open the tunnel and i dont see this ending well for other visa categories as nobody would apply for those anymore . This is what i think could be wrong but i dont see this visa staying in its current form unless THEY DO MAJOR CHANGES 🙏

true if people are honest and take classes as they should. From what i have read here most people just want to get the visa and than could care less about classes or requirements. I really feel the soft options will encounter problem with people “ being out of status” from an immigration standpoint. Someone last week got approved with one month of gym classes they can potentially stay in thailand for 5 years which really does not make anysense. There will be checks for those i anticipate 🙏

Anonymous participant i see now the application was rejected. Did it even moved from pending document check to PENDING STATUS. This is really important fact

Anonymous participant i dont see the recommendation letters . This visa does not allow you to work in Thailand. Its one of its conditions “ employment prohibited” . Did they ever requested any documents ? How long was the money in the account? Any recent deposits ? Did you translate everything? Since the bank was coming from georgia i assume this was not in usd . Did you show usd or thai bath anywhere ?

Without having how you apply which route what documents were provided it will be difficult to help you. Send this info and im sure someone here will help you out. Do not apply again before finding what you did wrong. You will loose the money and the time again 🙏

Dont need agent go to vietnam Hanoi and do it there . Alot faster and you get to see another country. The money the agent is charging you use it for having fun in vietnam. Check my applications it will give you and idea of how things are at the momment in terms of requirements etc. Good Luck🙏

Brother some immigration people do not even understand this visa . I have seen people given wrong stamps etc . If an immigration officer decides to deport you all he must to is notify the MFA do you think someone there will help you? Thailand immigration IS LIKE A GOD AT THE PORT OF ENTRY as well as other immigration in the world. THEY HAVE FINAL DISCRETION ON WHO THEY LET IN AND ON WHAT GROUNDS. There are no courts to appeal… nothing you can do. You can always try in another airport but the next guy will see what the other guy did and there is a 0.1 chance they will challenge your inadmissibility. I could be wrong by a travel for a living and have learned this the hard way. Hope to be wrong though but i anticipate issues with the soft routes as someone can just take a class for a month and potentially stay 5 years from an immigration standpoint “ OUT OF STATUS” as you no longer take classes 🙏

@Nata****

if you want to apply as a dependent than you need to wait for the main applicant to be approved. The main applicant visa is one of the dependent visa requirements. He can apply using other methods soft business owner medical etc but i would recommend to use the dependent route as they wont need income just the 500k in the bank account. If you use the same bank account the requirements go by 2x so a 1 million will be needed to satisfy the financial requirement. You can always use another bank account but have the money there floating for sometime than he only needs 500k. DO NOT DEPOSIT MONEY THERE AT THE LAST MINUTE . This will bring trouble and they will want to see extra documents and this will delay your application and can easily get you a rejection. You only have one shot SEND EVERYTHING YOU CAN SEND AT ONCE. Everything is online BUT HE MUST BE OUTSIDE OF THAILAND WITH AN ADDRESS IN THE NORTH If applying in Hanoi. This info will be needed in the location file. Check this post and you will be fine . 🙏

@Dany *******

its their country man they make the rules not us unfortunately. A visa is just a paper that allows you to go to a country thats it. I have a brother that works at customs in the US. I feel your your pain but this again Is a TOURIST VISA ONCE THEY ARE ABLE TO SEE THE AMOUNT OF FRAUD , ABUSE SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMMITTED HERE THEY WILL MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AT THE PORTS OF ENTRY . I have been here only a couple of days and have already identified many people that do not qualify for this visa. Just by the way they make their comments. Save this comment in a couple of months if not days you will see i was right. All the best my man 🙏
