What should I do if my DTV visa application is being delayed due to proof of exit from Thailand?

Christopher ***********

@Henrik ****

Fortunately, in the real World, banks and credit card companies protect us from companies/organisations who take our money and fail to deliver the product (or service). Recent report where an applicant’s bank asked the Thai Embassy for an explanation of their actions? The Embassy didn’t respond. Therefore, bank authorised chargeback.

Clearly Vancouver is at fault. The visa they issued is not the one you applied for. A chargeback on your debit/credit card will result in cancellation of the incorrectly issued tourist visa.

Why was my DTV visa application rejected twice without explanation?

@Greg *******

Agree that a visa agent could ‘troubleshoot’. After two failed applications, spending further time and money on a third personal application would more than likely be pointless.

Top comment Julien! At this point, it’s probably the only way forward.

What is a detailed portfolio for cooking experience required for the DTV visa application?

@James *******

Good questions as always James! It’s important that the applicant answers these at this point. I too suspect some subtle trickery (leading questions) here.

Can I use Allianz travel insurance for a 3-month OA visa in Thailand?

Christopher ***********

Only your travel insurance company could answer that. Cover is usually limited to a certain number of days per trip. Important to take it out before you leave home and, ideally, immediately upon booking flights/hotels to cover you for cancellation in case of accident or illness prior to departure.

What is the experience of entering Thailand on a DTV visa and what documents are required?

Christopher ***********

@Alex ********

Absolutely. After so long you can spot the signals. Turning your paperwork over and over, sighing and pointlessly turning empty envelopes upside down. You then ask ‘can we find a way around this?’. 500 baht usually avoids the need to go away and come back again so I’m happy and so is the IO.

Anonymous participant 535 That’s already been reported several times. DTV holders applying for extensions at local immigration offices have faced questioning and given up, deciding to ‘border bounce’ instead.

Are Visa Application Fees Refunded if Rejected in Thailand?

@Ben *****

I understand what you are saying Ben. However, if they are digital nomads with no ties to Thailand why would they want to risk another application? If it was me, I’d strike Thailand off my list and move on elsewhere.
