Problem is the only person who really knows why your application was rejected is the person who processed it and they won’t say. You say an agent advised that you’d missed some pages of your passport. Why didn’t the consulate tell you this? If your new application is approved I would ask your bank/credit card company to perform a ‘chargeback’ on your first one. You are entitled to a refund for their lack of customer service.

Our disappearing anonymous Italian citizen friend would have told us his was accepted. Not for the first time either!

If you end up having to go to your immigration office in person I would give the officer a tip and ask for their mobile phone/Line number. Has proven useful to me previously.

Totally agree! By land to Laos takes too long, would be uncomfortable and unlikely to save any money.

What you have read must have been troll posts. Six months is the present recommended minimum length of course for DTV applications. After that has expired there is no requirement to enrol in an ongoing course. Neither are future medical or dental appointments required once DTV has been granted.

You don’t know?

@Wannikea ********

Same Immigration processes. What would you suggest in that scenario? Hold out? How long for? Personally, I’d offer some money. Worth it to be on my way.

Recent report of Nong Khai Thai Immigration ‘holding out’ saying that border bounces should be done by air. However, the officer eventually gave an entrance stamp (presumably because there is no such requirement).

@Paul ******

I’m not touchy. I have no ability to predict the future therefore I don’t know if things will change or not. It’s you that’s making predictions. There is no requirement for a DTV holder reentering Thailand to provide proof of ongoing enrolment in courses or of future medical or dental appointments.

@Paul ******

There is no requirement for a DTV holder to provide proof of ongoing enrolment in courses or of future medical or dental appointments. Otherwise, immigration officers would be asking them to do so when reentering Thailand. Asking me to provide something that doesn’t exist is bizarre. If you believe the immigration office aren’t doing their job properly you need to tell them.
