ORIGINAL POSTER

While waiting for the visa processing, can we go back to Thailand ? Once we get the visa than come back to Vietnam to print and go back to Thailand ? Will my visa get cancelled? Because I’ve been staying here for 2 weeks now.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation addresses the question of whether one can return to Thailand while their visa application is being processed. Responses indicate that while it is possible to return, it may complicate the visa application process and could lead to a rejection. Some users share experiences of returning on exempt visas while awaiting approval, but caution that leaving during processing is generally not advisable.

You can go back to Thailand, but you should not go back to Thailand during processing. Most times there will be no problems, but it can be a reason to reject your application.

The e-visa does not change the rules compared to the old proces.

The fact that you now can return because you did not hand in your passport does not change this.

I recently returned back to Thailand because my visa application was taking longer than expected. I stamped into Thailand as visa exempt, and surprisingly received the approval email that evening.
