Good catch i assume he was already here in thailand like most applicants . He should go to Hanoi or Jakarta doing it somewhere else will just a waste of time and money. There are a lot of good reports coming from those places so i would not go any other route at the moment ๐Ÿ™

Anonymous participant 314 im with you on the Thai Economy but before the DTV it was farely difficult to find a visa here without paying top dollars. We look into opening a business and all of those things and it was around 5k to even start the process with. no guarantees . Having a visa that basically allows you to stay in thailand for 5 years for 340 usd is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IN MY WORLD so i anticipate someone is loosing in this game. I dont know if you follow the lounges at bkk. Priority Pass used to be widely available in maybe 8-9 lounges. Just last month this all change and all suddently there is only 1 type of lounge that allows the card . This all change overnight i guess some ABUSE WAS HAPPENING AT OTHER LOUNGES AND THEY WENT FROM 100 to 0. Mark my words this visa will not stay alive in its current form. I really hope to be wrong but i dont see it any other way unfortunaltely for us ๐Ÿ™

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 โ€ฆ QR codes green line etc ๐Ÿ™

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 ๐Ÿ™

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 โ€œ being out of statusโ€ 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 ๐Ÿ™

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 โ€œ employment prohibitedโ€ . 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 ๐Ÿ™

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 Luck๐Ÿ™
