Hello everyone, a small follow-up from my post 4 days ago.

Thank you this amazing group for helping me to avoid overstay because of incorrect information. (Thank you university)

I’ve visited my Immigration (Chaegnwattana) where a very kind old lady helped me to cancel my student visa and confirmed that I should fly out as there is not enough time for me to get married and start the process of non-Im O visa.

I’m flying out to Cambodia this Saturday morning and coming back on Monday. I have a few more questions.

I’m flying with my Fiancé if this makes any difference and the airport is Suvarnabhumi Airport.

In my passport I only have extensions of stay based on studying in University for bachelor’s degree and visa cancellation stamp.

I’m going to get 30 day visa exception stamp.

What I’ve prepared:

A ticket out of Thailand

20.000 Baht

Thai pass (in progress)

In addition

I have a letter from my fiancé stating that he asks me to come to get married with his address, ID card number, date and signature. ( someone has suggested that on my previous post, thank you )

The question is if I’m asked by immigration at the airport :

- Purpose of visit ?

What should I reply? As I understand the latter from my fiancé is an additional paper that I’ll show as evidence only if asked.

Should I reply that I’m here to get married and process my documents or not?

I’m very confused, I have no experience in this kind of situations. I always had my long term Student visa and entered with no questions.

Again thank you.

Thanks for the feed back and keep it simple.

You come back to marry in Thailand so that will be the reason to tell if you get asked, do not try to find some other stories, the truth is easy.
