Hi
@Jordan ******
I applied (twice) first application cancelled when it seems I didn't check the auto uploaded data in the Biometrics upload

Average time is 10 working days if documents are together and you oversubmit (more than is asked for via collating more docs into each pdf)

I applied 18th Nov

Extra documents requested 28th Nov

Approved 02nd Dec

See below

@Ben ******
Ben Malol I experienced almost the same issue and the decline email address is the same as the one you received

Andi Traveller any comments other than what we already discussed?

The main issue is that Information inputted by the system at Passport Bio Data page upload MUST BE CHECKED AND CORRECTED by the person applying as the system sometimes reads the biodata page incorrectly. The website is very clear that no refunds will be given.

I belive some USA passport holders are experiencing this as the date must be the globally accepted format of dd/mm/year or the system rejects it

My issue was an expiry of 2033 and the system read it as 1933 and despite believing I edited and corrected it, I must not have hit the save button

Result was I reapplied, did it better, improved all my documents, provided polite cover letter with my Financials greeting in Thai, triple and quadruple checked all details and it was approved after 10 days

Anonymous participant yes. The E-Visa is exactly that. It is am email and a PDF. It has been HIGHLY recommended by others that both the email and the pdf be printed and provided at immigration

100% must be outside of Thailand and prepared to remain outside Thailand for the duration of the process. Each Embassy is different, you have to work out how long a normal submission takes

@Andi **********
can you advise on this TM30 reporting if we stay with friends?

@Jean-Maurice *******
🤣🤣😆😆 yes EXACTLY!! I agree 100% with the "checking everything 10 times part". I screenshot every page in the event it was rejected for the same reason. I wouldn't say I am upset over paying two application fees but I feel some form of improvement needs to be made to that part of the website

@Jean-Maurice *******
I was rejected for this same reason. Seems that the autofill function is not working properly when the Biodata page is uploaded but the website also clearely states that "we must check the details ourselves before submission". I emailed but received no reply and was advised by this group that the only action I could take was to re-apply which I did under Remote worker. I am currently awaiting and hoping for approval after being requested for further documents submission
