New rulesDTV documents changed on 31 Aug 2026
Most refusals come from small document mistakes. A person checks your files against your embassy's own list, tells you what to fix, and checks again after you fix it. Then you apply with the strongest file you can send.
Independent document check. Not the Thai government. The embassy decides every application.
Pick the visa you plan to apply for. Each check follows its own list and your embassy's rules.

A report for each document: what is fine, what to fix and what is missing.
The embassy does not tell you why it said no, and the fee is gone. These are the mistakes we look for in every file.
Police certificate too old for that embassy
We check its age on your application day against your embassy's limit: 3 or 6 months.
Funds not shown the way the embassy asks
We check your name, each month's balance and the statement type against the embassy's wording.
Wrong embassy or no permanent residence proof
We check that you apply where the 31 August 2026 rules allow, with the right proof.
Names spelled differently across documents
We compare the name on every file with your passport.
Purpose proof that does not match the DTV category
We check that your contract, school or gym letter fits the category you chose.
Missing translation or a screenshot instead of a document
We flag files your embassy will not accept as they are.
With the reviewed check you upload the corrected documents once, and we confirm them before you apply. The embassy makes the decision. We make sure your file gives you the best chance.

Since 31 August 2026 you apply through the Thai embassy or consulate for your nationality or your country of permanent residence.
It depends on the embassy. Washington DC, Los Angeles and Paris ask for 3 months. London accepts 6 months. Most other embassies do not say, so get it as close to your application as you can.
Software compares your documents with your embassy's rules. Then a person reads the report and corrects it before you get it.
No. Only the embassy decides, and it does not give reasons. We check that your documents are complete and current. There is no refund because a visa is refused; you get a full refund if your reviewed report is later than 24 hours.
