Can I get a refund if I cancel my visa application in Thailand?

Cancellation of visa application means that the applicant temporarily informs the embassy that it is not necessary to apply for a visa normally and directly returns the original passport or other materials to the applicant. Under normal circumstances, if the applicant needs to use a passport or cannot continue to apply for a visa, the embassy will meet with the applicant.

However, no matter whether the visa application is finally cancelled or refused, the embassy will not refund any application fees, because the visa materials have been processed since the receipt of the application materials, and the relevant fees have been incurred, so the embassy will not refund the fees to the applicants regardless of the final result.

In fact, when applying for a visa to Thailand, even if the applicant does not need to travel for the time being, he can apply for a visa normally. Although Thailand's visas are all single entry and the stay time is not long, the embassy's effective time for applicants is still relatively long. At present, the effective time given by the embassy to the applicant is 3 months, and the holder can travel at any time within 3 months.

Therefore, you can arrange your travel again within 3 months after you get your visa, so that you won't cancel your visa application because you can't travel temporarily. If you can't travel within the visa period, the applicant can attach a letter of explanation when applying for a visa, which is more convenient than canceling the visa in Thailand directly.
