Anonymous participant 555 i see, so you didnt check any box that said you applied previously for a visa and got rejected? Just wondering how this works. Thanks for replying

@Fiamma *****

thank you, im trying but I feel like the softpower route is more trouble than it’s worth. Like i paid extra 700$ to prove my worth and justify why i deserve to be in Thailand under a cooking course. But it was an approved course and time frame so I dont see what other reasons i can give besides what the country planned in designing softpower route. I could have just gotten a normal application for workcation. That’s insane.

Anonymous participant 555 why did you get rejected? And did you disclose that same reason on the next application?

@John ******

according to this group a lack of paperwork would classify as withdrawal. But not enough sample data to suggest it’s a standard. That’s why im asking for more info. Similar to payment not completed on application i suppose

Anonymous participant 853 im not rejected. Im pending. How am i lying on an application? And according to this group, consulates dont cross share application information

@James *******

i applied for a 6 month approved culinary school in bangkok for softpower route but they are treating me like a workcation. They wanted a direct confirmation with the cooking school despite the school issued standard formal packet application for dtv. Then they asked how a culinary school would factor into my stay for 5 full years, 6 months bank, full salary disclosure, business plan and my plan for this visa usage for softpower. This seems super strict. Im not sure why i even paid for the course if it’s even more work than the workcation route
