I have no idea how Immigration think but I give them the respect of acknowledging that they must have their reasons (perhaps economic) Nor do I care and I am not on a high horse, just get really tired of the arrogance of so many experts when they know no more than I do

@Paul ******

Thank you for your comment and no it wasn't luck You provided what they asked for and they said OK here is your visa 😆

Anonymous participant 378 And when they change the rules, if they do, we will conform to those rules but at the moment 6 months is not a requirement with soft power even if some embassies and embassy personnel are asking for it

And the people who designed/created the DTV with its super easy requirements knew that so they must have had other reasons I guess (like getting lots of people with funds into the country quickly and easily)

@Michael ********

Really!!!! What was this visa designed for? Were you in the initial design meetings or are you just another person who can't accept that it is what it is even if it doesn't make sense to you. "Soft power" was specifically included in the original visa offering to enable lots more people to apply and get approved for this visa No one is going to do a 6 month festival 🤣🤣

Anonymous participant 378 Its Thailand and they decided to create a less rigid less convoluted visa for whatever reason. It doesn't have to make sense to all the so called experts out there It is what it is

@Bernardo ************

We don't know why he was rejected You are all assuming the reason but the OP didn't say why. It could well have been a data entry error or some other reason which has happened to lots of people too

@Luit ****************

How rude It doesn't matter what I think A number of people have had DTV approved from one appointment Read the threads

@Darren *******************

Why?

@Bernardo ************

Nope its not in the THAI requirements - just some embassies asking for some extra bits and bobs but no where does it say Treatment plan of more than 6 months
