Hi, I am currently applying for a single entry tourist visa. I am from a country (France) that has visa exemption for 30 days but I would rather apply for a tourist visa so that I can stay longer. If my visa application is declined, would anyone know if that would override my right to enter on a visa exemption? Thank you.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is applying for a single entry tourist visa despite being eligible for a 30-day visa exemption as a French citizen. They inquire whether a declined visa application would affect their right to enter Thailand under the visa exemption rule. Responses indicate that a declined application does not impact entry rights, and immigration officials at the airport will not have knowledge of the earlier application.
