3 months tourist visa is refused

[Robocop2018]

I'm a Bangladeshi citizen recently applied for the single entry 3 months tourist visa in Thailand and get refused on that. 

clean background and the embassy provides no clue. However, from the second to last page, the sealed "VI" and this is all I get. Anyone knows what is the issue here?

I have previously been to the US and Europe and never had the issue. I have no criminal background as well.

Probably nobody here works in the embassy / consulate where you applied, so we can just guess ?

If you provided all required papers and were denied, you could just try stuff like showing more money in the bank, showing reasons for you to go back home (letter from your employer) and trying another consulate or embassy. It's only a 60 days Visa, not 3 months, and some places might want to see a flight booking back home within 60 days

I don't understand what you are trying to say with this.

Where did you get that info from? I have never heard of anybody having to supply such a thing.

There is a 60 day Tourist Visa. I didn't know there was a 90 day Tourist Visa. Maybe that's why you got knocked back you applied for a Visa they don't have?

VI

Maybe Visa Impossible ???

But who could really know.

Others have said, you need to know what goes on in the Thai embassy in your country, there can be a lot of differences. Also the 60 vs 90 day thing. You can get a 60 day visa then a 30 day extension at an immigration office in country. I actually had a 30 day extension followed by a 60 day extension all off one visa exempt entry, but that was my immigration office in the province I stay in and with my wife as guarantor (I think).

I also had a situation applying for a Nigeria visa at their embassy in Bangkok. At first it was refused. Then I found out all the Thai staff there were on the take and would see it through for a 'gift'. I happened to corner the ambassador as he arrived in the compound and berated him for his less than professional staff. Got the visa then alright. Not that anyone in the right mind would necessarily really want such a thing ? Just saying, if the staff at that embassy, no matter their nationality, might be a part of your problem.

You may be right. 90 day validity with max 60 days stay is what I read on one visa agent web site.

I guess since you are from bangladesh, they think you are going for work instead of holiday.

There have been many reports of people from the Indian subcontinent having difficulty getting tourist visas. If you indicated a 90-day stay on your application, that might have been a factor, but it is difficult to know. Are there lawyers/agents in your town who specialize in visa applications? If so, I would be inclined to contact them. I think local knowledge is going to be of more value than any advice you will receive here.

I would assume that some required document was not included with your application.

Did you apply directly at the embassy or through an agent?

I have no idea what the VI could mean.

Just for your information. "VI" means in roman numbers = "6"......... Maybe the guy have had 5 previous Tourist-VISAS???? And this one was number VI = 6.....???

I am certainly aware of that. I discounted it as possibility since I have never seen any Thai authority use roman numerals.

For the last seven years since my retirement I have always gone to Thailand with a 90 Day tourist visa traveling from the Netherlands, do different countries have different visas?

[Robocop2018]

I applied through the VFS and neither they or the embassy provides any clue.

 No difference between countries. All single entry tourist visas are valid for 3 months from the date issue for entry to the country and allow a 60 day entry.

Not sure about Bangladesh but it has happened in India where VFS is the agent accepting the applications for Thai visas.,

I assume they did the visa sticker and stamped it void or cancelled on it.

Non-immigrant O visa gives me a 90 day stay no extensions or other hassle's.

You wrote you were getting a tourist visa. Not the same as a non-o visa.

[NRGF]

Where the visa application form asks ''reason for vist'' I always write tourist so have presumed I was getting a tourist visa.

A Tourist Visa gives a stay of 60 days.

It can be extended by 30 days at Immigration for a fee of 1,900 Baht.

A non-imm O is not a tourist visa.

But probably where it asks you for "type of visa requested" you select non-immigrant visa and not tourist visa ?

Or too little. Pretty sure most people know what the Roman number VI is, but he assumes that he alone would know that.

Thinking that Thai IO's use Roman numerals isn't thinking too much, it's thinking very little.

AND thinking that you yourself not came up with it before, was not too much thinking either or what?

What are you going on about?

Absolutely no reason a Thai IO would ever use Roman numerals. Makes zero sense .

Thais don't use Roman numerals, period!

[asean]

There is no 3 month tourist visa

This is the same happens to me:
