I am on an Education visa and left to go home for 2 weeks, I have a single re entry permit but am still worried. Anyone had any issues even with an Education  Visa?

Answer summary

A user currently on an Education Visa expresses concerns about re-entering Thailand after a two-week trip home, despite holding a single re-entry permit. Other users respond with mixed experiences, highlighting potential risks of being denied entry even with valid documentation and suggest having institutional backup, such as the school principal's contact.

No report of denial entry using safe entry. A lot of people in this group use safe entry. When denial start coming in, many posts will be made. It's not yet happening because there is no report of denial entry. If you have conflicting reports, please provide proof of actual post or comments of people denied from that method.

Many examples of people leaving on ED visas being refused entry on their return, even those with permission from their school. It doesn't mean you will be refused but you are probably right to be worried, you could maybe have the phone number of the principal of the school you attend to hand and see if they will let him vouch for you
