Update:

I previously posted about being rejected by Los Angeles after 17 days pending document check because the system had deleted my middle name before submission.

I re-applied and, after about one week, received the following document requests:

"Other request documents: Business portfolio

Other request documents: Please upload a business registration of the company

Other request documents: Your recent tax return

Other request documents: Guarantee letter from the company implies that you work remotely

Other request documents: Employment contract or employment certificate from company"

—"Business portfolio":

It would sure be helpful if they explained what they mean by that. In my original application, I included links to two of my freelance portfolios where they can see dozens of pieces of work from the last couple of years. Should I print out hundreds of pages of work as the portfolio? My main current job is a large project that is not yet finished for them to see.

—"Business Registration":

Again, it would be helpful if they were a bit more explicit. The main foundation I work for has a prominent website. I Googled their "business registration" and all their information since 2001 is available on Propublica.com. I guess I will print that out and submit that?

—"Recent tax return":

That is clear enough. I didn't file this yet this year, but I will do that today.

—"Guarantee letter from the company implies that you work remotely":

This is funny because I am a literary translator and writer, so of course my work is remote, but my contract doesn't explicitly say that because it's obvious. I will request that from my main employer spelling it out.

—"Employment contract or employment certificate from company":

This is the most troubling because I already submitted a very thorough copy of my contract to them. So I am very confused as to why they are asking for it again.

Overall, it doesn't look very promising. At least they didn't ask me for more financial documentation. I will submit these docs and hope for the best, but I'm pretty discouraged by this opaque system with no recourse. If it fails again, I'll try to go through an agent, which is probably much more reliable.

Hi guys, I got my dtv approved.. but first name and middle name mixed up. Do we have any issue during airport immigration?

Like xyz abc

First name: abc

Middle name: xyz

Thanks!

Attention Attention! Please let this incident be an example to everyone, do good research.

I came to Phuket Muay Thai course with Soft Power DTV. I paid 24000 baht for 6 months, 1 lesson per week. But the gym says that the money I paid is for the visa and does not include the lessons. I have all the documents and invoice. Right now, I want to overcome the language barrier and solve this in a good way. But what should I do if I can't solve it? Thank you.

FYI, looks like some kind of squeeze is on.

Good day, having just submitted my 90DR on 12th Feb., I received an email this evening saying it was rejected.

I have been submitting them previously online for at least a year without any problem.

It was submitted within the 15 day period.

Is it okay to try again?

Could there be any reason for this?

Thanks all.

Hi I am coming back to Thailand next week. I need to receive a call from my hospital consultant during my stay. I have a EE pay as you go sim but the call charges are excessive £1.80 a minute!! They cannot call me by whatsapp or messenger I also have a Thai sim card but I do not think they can make an international call. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Hi everyone,

I went to Taiwan Taipei Thai embassy on Wednesday Dec 17 9am to apply soft power Muay Thai they told me to come bakc at 3 pm and came late so they told me to come back the next day 3pm. They asked me a few questions like how long have you been in Thailand what do you do for work do you have a Thai bank account they asked me when I first came to Thailand 2018 as a tourist in and out and got stuck out when covid happened. Officially moved to Thailand when I opened a business and worked in it because of covid business slowed down a lot amd we shut it down. After shutting it down I did a education visa and tried to apply for,the Thai elite visa but got refused because education visas were frowned upon (a blessing for me I’d say) and the DTV came out applied for it and got approved picked up my passport.

Now I’m having trouble applying for a motorbike license went to 2 places they both refused because I didn’t have a work permit.im under 50 retired. Anyone know a legit place in Bangkok preferably sathon Rama 3 area.

Thank you all in Advance for taking the time to read this.

Has anyone actually been denied entry and turned away at the airport on a successful DTV, without option to pay some scam fee to get in? If so what were the circumstances of that denial?

## DTV approved but with error.

I'm italian holding an italian passport, living in Malta. Just got my DTV approved but in the vista it's stated:

Passport / TD: Malta

I assume it should be Italy.

Nationality is correct though.

Trying to call the embassy but no reply now.

Is this going to be an issue?

Is there anyone meet situation like "delivered visa by email" but cannot see any visa in your email ? I sure that my email address is correct. It has happened like this for 2 days. Should I contact to The Royal Thai consulate or continue waiting ? Thanks!
