Why was my wife's DTV application canceled due to an incorrect passport expiry date?

Sahil ********

Sorry to hear that 🙁

I do have a few questions though...

1) How long did it take to cancel/reject your wife's visa application? Was this directly from 'Pending Document Check' or did it move to 'Pending Approval' before the cancellation.

2) Did you get your Visa approved from Shanghai? If so, what was the processing timeline like?

What was the process for receiving a DTV visa as a nomad photographer in Thailand?

Sahil ********

Nice :))

just wondering, what did you fill in for your 'intended date of arrival' ?

I have been reading that they approve the visa as close to that date as possible.

Was it true in your case ?

Hmm, i'll just wait for my upcoming payment to come in and hold it in the bank instead of moving it to my funds like I usually do.

But yeah, if people can borrow money and show it in the bank account that defeats it's purpose.

Also, I read that funds should not be transferred in one go, I don't understand why someone would constantly keep 1000k in the bank and not invest it in liquid assets... But I also read fixed term deposits are ok, these Index funds or fixed term deposits can be broken anytime, takes a few hours ..
