You have to merge all individual PDF files into one. I used PDF24 Creator for that. It's free and it worked.

There are only online applications; direct applications at the embassy or consulate are no longer possible.

In what language were the documents that you did not translate into English?

The best and safest is always your own home country. However, if you're already in Thailand and want to travel to the surrounding countries and apply there, I would personally recommend Laos. They will invite you for an interview, but at least you have the opportunity to speak to someone and explain some of the details of your visa application

It is not possible to make any statement as to why any of your visa applications were rejected unless you provide more information.

This Facebook group was created to give you all the support you need. We help each other, and it's better than any self-proclaimed professional visa agent. I read so deeply here that I ended up checking everything five times word for word, letter for letter with my own visa application. But typos aren't everything. It gets funny with "place of issue," for example. Without the help here in the Facebook group, I certainly could have applied for the visa three times.

You said that it was rejected without explanation, but the explanation is that the expiration date of the passport does not match the expiration date in the visa application. There is no chance of getting the money back, that's what happened to many people.

If you're going there, I recommend staying at the hotel directly across from the consulate. If you're invited to the interview or need to go to the consulate to check on the status of your visa application, you can simply cross the street and avoid having to deal with greedy taxi drivers.

There will be an interview in Vientiane and Savannakhet, so most people avoid Laos. If all your documents are authentic and you can verify the amount in your banking app on your phone, then you have nothing to worry
