It is SG $

Approx. same fee everywhere.

Only fools that dont read the Thai Embassy website and the e-visa website thoroughly, will get supprised that the fee is non-refundable and that no reasons will be given in case of rejection

The Embassy has used manpower to process the visa so of course they should be paid fully.

New rules

Check DLT websits

Then go to those countries and leave Thailand doing things like they want it to be done.

Read the website of the local Immigration office.

Most email will not get answered.

Read the website of the specific Embassy you will apply at.

Read the e-visa website including the manual at top right corner.

Requirements are Embassy specific.

Bigger chances with your own money in your own account, than sponsorship.

Read a lot of posts in this group before applying.

Do not use agency’s.

Then use search to see the specifics about applying in Australia.

And do read the Embassy website and the e-visa website thoroughly, including the manual in the topright corner

The Thai Embassy in Singapore is one of the most precise and detailed Embassy websites in the world, so you are much better of than so many others applying elsewhere.

You can use search to find advices about specific Embassies.

And it clearly states:

”The Royal Thai Embassy reserves the right to reject any e-visa application with insufficient documents or if the reasons given are not fully supported***

***THE VISA FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE*** “

That’s the price they have put on the DTV, and if it is to much for you, nobody forces you to apply.

Everyday lots of people get approved, by following the advice given in this group, and doing a proper research before applying.

You application wasn’t good enough, so stop crying.

If you don’t like the terms, then don’t apply again, and do something else with you life.

Do NOT switch from a long term visa with the perks it gives you ( such as Thai Bankaccount) to the inferior DTV tourist visa.
