Anonymous participant Can you kindly? your nationality? Or whether you’re American or not? Just curious based on Justin’s reply above. Thanks!

@John ******

Just edited the post with a photo. It says March

Can you please share more information?

Did applicants already pay for the visa and now the fee is non-refundable?

What do you mean they didn’t announce the rejection reason? Did they simply refuse to accept the application?

Or they accepted everything, reviewed, and denied the visa after their 5-day processing time.

Remote work or soft power?

Thanks for sharing your experience. Just to confirm, you only had to show 1 appointment?

Can you please share some information regarding how many appointments you showed and the type of treatment?

Interested in this as well. What about sports such as badminton, tennis, swimming, etc? Many of these academies don’t cater as much to foreigners as muay thai gyms, but they’re just as legit.

thanks for the response. Interesting about the rolling 365 days for the tourist visa. I received a tourist visa in Cambodia last September (used same month), and one from Laos in January (used in March). No questions asked in Laos.

But it seems I might have issues getting a 3rd tourist visa if it’s before September.

hi thanks so much for sharing your experience. ThailandPost updated my tracking number yesterday (8 days after U.S Dept said it was mailed) that it was now in transit from the Bangkok US Embassy.

How long did it take for you from collection at the Bangkok embassy to receive it?

@Stelar ******

i think you misunderstood my original post. I submitted my passport renewal on September 25th knowing that i have a November 7th visa expiration date. That is 1.5 months (6 weeks) to renew the passport.

At the moment 5 weeks have passed and i haven’t received my new passport.

@Brandon ***********

thanks for the suggestion. I have not gotten an extension yet.

This does seems like the best option if i don’t receive the passport prior to my tourist visa expiration.

Unfortunately immigration can’t do the extension until i have my passport (i offered photocopies of my tourist visa stamp page and ID page)
