some embassies don't consider just soft power as a criteria. You might have 500k, book a year long course. And they still reject you cuz one won't have a regular income source. Which beats the whole point of soft power. Plenty of other weird rejection cases in this group.

Should the Thai embassy refund visa application fees if a shorter visa is issued instead of a longer one?

no all requirements are not on the e visa website. Most embassy criterias are unspoken rules. do you read about the peoples experience post here?

are those criterias public? So I go embassy shopping and see where they accept my 'criteria'? You don't even have a basis to refute this

and what exactly is the criteria? Turns out people at the embassy make their own. The rules are clearly stated on the website. And some embassies don't follow it themselves.

rejection on what basis? Is this a way of threatening people? Don't question or we will reject you? I recommend you should market the visa that way too.

lol METV is NOT a bonus. Despite all qualification if the embassy thinks he can complete his activity in 6 months doesn't need 5 year. They can issue it without notice.

DTV_BegPecker Do you even know why METV visas are issued? Hint: It's not for not meeting requirements. Different embassies make up their different rules. So no i can't be blamed if some embassy thinks different than others. This is not embassy shopping where I have to roll the dice and wait for my luck to charm
