ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
If your OA visa application is denied and you haven't received the e-visa before your flight, you will enter Thailand with a visa exemption stamp valid for 60 days. Once in Thailand, you cannot apply for a Non-OA visa as applications must be made from your home country. If the OA visa is subsequently issued while you are in Thailand, you will need to exit the country and re-enter to activate the visa.
