If having a TR visa application rejected as a Swedish citizen (let's say on some technicality due to filling in the evisa forms wrong) is it still possible to enter Thailand visa exempt instead?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A Swedish citizen whose TR visa application is rejected can enter Thailand visa exempt. According to community feedback, this situation is generally not problematic as long as the rejection was due to a technicality, like errors in filling out visa forms. The typical entry for Swedish citizens allows for a 60-day visa exemption, and past entry history might have some consideration but does not guarantee entry if the visa was rejected.
Thanks all. I just think I entered name details in the wrong order due to Sweden often putting middle names first in the list of names. Should have put my middle name as first name probably so it gets in the same order as the passport. But let's see, application still processing. They've asked for some more accommodation details so far so maybe then it has already passed the name check, I don't know. I was mainly curious as I feel I really need to get in to get a void stamp for my Non-B that was cancelled recently. Heard doing proper TRs are better than visa exempt so that's why I applied but if I fail on some technicality and don't have time for a second application I wondered if I can enter visa exempt instead as a backup plan.
Do you know if it’s also possible to enter visa exempt while an existing TR application is processing with the embassy? If so I could do a second application if rejected and if they’re quick I could get it before my flight is scheduled but if not just go visa exempt.
