I have extensive history living in Thailand so I don’t think it’s that either. It’s probably the bank stuff

Based on comments my only thought is that you’ve supplied proof of income through the Thai bank account which is an automatic rejection even without much human review.

Anonymous participant TBH reading the comments here you sound a bit cold and harsh yourself. No offense. Just warmly and positively answer their questions and you’ll be fine. Maybe he had a bad day. No big deal. Mai pen rai you know.

@Robin ********

i hypothesize that immigration officers fish for information like this. They ask a strange question and try make you slip up. If you’re actually legit you won’t “mess up” because there’s nothing to mess up on, but if you are doing some sketchy or bad stuff you might slip up and not have good responses.

When I checked in for my flight I did the self-check-in kiosk, I think they prefer you do that anyways to save time. Anyways the kiosk asked for my intended departure date from Thailand and I HAD to select something under 30 or 60 days… Nevermind, just selected some date and continued on no problem. No issues at immigration. Indeed many airlines are a bit out of date for some stuff.

I think it says “travel document” then something then 3 April 2026

The cursive is a bit hard for me to read to the left of 3 april, im not even sure if it isn’t just numbers.

Also im not sure if it even says travel document, the first word is “book,” and im fairly certain the next phrase is เดินทาง, which would mean it means passport or travel document.

I have a history of ED visas and they called me in for an interview. I do speak Thai fluently, but I get the impression that this wasn’t the point of the interview. Instead they were more concerned about how I was funding my previous years in Thailand. I recommend bringing a laptop and showing them your work. Once the officer understood that I was making money online for my entire duration spent in Thailand, and I could prove it, I got the visa easy.

You’ll be fine if everything you did is legit as you said. Apply wherever- I did it in Taiwan- or you can go to Vietnam. Expect that you will be interviewed but it should be fine.

Good luck!
