Hey all wondering if you could help, this is my first post asking so please bare with me, im planning on flying into Bangkok with a non immigrant business visa, I know DMK is not the best for tourist as they can be a bit harsh, and it's best flying into BKK instead, so if i fly into DMK with the non business visa do you think this is ok? Thank you in advance

My missus uses the auto scan Thai queue. I came through non Thai. Obviously depends on the IO. It was also a new visa from HCMC.

as long as you have the supporting documents you used for the visa with you you will be OK. I came back into DMK with a Non-O based on marriage and they wanted to check all the paperwork and even interviewed my wife. It was the first time I had entered with that visa and I got it in HCMC. I don't know why they grilled us. I have never had a problem with other visas (Tourist before) after about 10 minutes at the desk, checking documents and my wife's ID card twice, they let me in.Steven ***************
People with Business , Spouse ,Education visas and/or extensions rarely have trouble. Its people on back to back tourist visas and visa exemption that get scrutinized. Ive used an O visa/extesion for 3 years and never had an issue at any airport here including DMK 3 times. Thai immigration has granted you a B visa allowing you to enter for business purposes. Relax buddy. Walking through passport control sweating about it will only draw attention. 😉

the IOs at DMK as I have read they can be a bit harsh if they see a lot of metv back to back, I've never flown into DMK before,Activity
