What to do if my OA visa application gets denied before traveling to Thailand?
Has anyone applied for an OA visa and got denied? What if we apply and we don’t receive the e visa before we fly. What do we do if we get to Thailand and it’s denied? Can we still reapply while in Thailand?
Answer summary
This discussion highlights the concerns around applying for an OA visa and the steps to take if the application is denied. It clarifies that you cannot apply for a Non-OA visa while in Thailand and if the visa is not issued before traveling, you may enter Thailand on a 60-day stamp but will need to leave the country to activate the OA visa once approved.

If it's not issued before you travel to Thailand, you'd be stamped in 60 days visa exempt. If it's then issued you would have to leave and return to use it.
You cannot apply for a non-OA visa from anywhere except your passport country.
And getting a non-O visa isn't possible without a Thai bank account, which you cannot get without a long term visa.
