If your ED visa get refused at the border to be stamped, can u still get stamped in as 30day exemption, given that u did none ever before by the border, (having 2yr of ED previously)

Or few days of some transit visa to pack up the stuff from ur home/condo before leaving?
Answer summary
If you are denied entry into Thailand at the border with an ED (Education) visa application, you will not be granted entry under the 30-day visa exemption rule. Denied individuals cannot enter Thailand at that entry point, regardless of past visa statuses or previous stays in the country. To address your belongings, you would need to seek entry through a different border point if you wish to enter Thailand again.

Filip Kubala, I don't know what you want to hear from the group. You have LIVED here in thailand for a good while. Now evidently you're going to switch to another ED visa to further your stay.

Believe me the problem you're gonna have is NOT getting IN to thailand on an ED visa by land once you get one, it's finding a consulate that will sell you a 90 day ED visa with the previous entry history you have to thailand.

Even getting a new passport is no guarantee they aren't gonna ask you for your previous passport and ask you why you didn't go on an ED visa before this.

They could think you're switching to an ED visa just to stay in thailand rather than to actually learn something..

Good Luck, we are done. (y)

just to explain: YOU, as person is the one who gets denied entry. Not your passport or the stamps inside your passport.

Okay, to answer your question, NO there is no, "let you in on a 30 day visa exempt entry" or "let you go clear out your place" entry stamp you get if you're denied entry. IF you're denied entry you don't get in at that entry point. You can try another entry point.

I have never heard of someone getting denied entry at a land border with a valid VISA in their passport.

Sent back to the country they just stamped out of to get proof of funds, or made to buy proof of onward travel but not denied with a visa..

If you get denied to enter Thailand at the border, you are denied entry, not allowed to go into Thailand,
