I got denied TWICE back to back on a tourist visa (and lost the fees) because I had an extra duplicate number on the passport field that i missed ..twice.
DTV lets you stay 180 days each time, u can then literally fly out and back again and you get another 180 days. Valid for 5 years. Way better than a student visa and likely cheaper too once you factor the cost of whatever course.
there's much simpler ways than going through any school for DTV. I got mine via botox appointment, through online US/LA location. Different embassies tho have different requirements. Plus I did a lot earlier 4 months ago, now they're clamping down on required docs.
you are wrong, i've seen posts of people applying on a simple medical appointment follow up. I've been approved on a follow up botox appointment in 6 months.
that seems like projection to me. People apply because it's available, and then if you make a mistake, you apply again. There's no despair in trying again. But whatever.
You can explain their logic post-fact, but I don't think it's the embassy's job to determine reputation or quality of a clinic to where they're checking the credentials of the doctor and valid license. There's over 4500 cosmetic clinics in Thailand alone. Simply going online to see it exists would've been sufficient. It's an arbitrary overreach imho, which is in line with what we know how different and random the requirements are at different embassy locations.
