Why are tourist visas being denied at the Savannakhet consulate in Thailand?
Heads up. I was at Savannakhet yesterday and witnessed 4 people get denied visas at the consulate. 3 tourist visas and 1 Ed visa. All were denied because of ONE previous tourist visa and 2 visa exempt land crossings. At the border I witnessed 2 guys get denied entry into Thailand ( they both got their TV visa approved at the consulate). Non Immigrant visa holders sailed straight through. I'd say don't use this consulate for a toursit visa if you have had a few already.
Answer summary
A user shared an experience at the Savannakhet consulate in Thailand, where multiple individuals were denied tourist and education (Ed) visas due to prior visa activity. Specifically, the rejections occurred for those with previous tourist visas and visa-exempt land crossings. In contrast, holders of Non-Immigrant visas faced no issues at the border, highlighting potential risks for frequent tourists applying at this consulate.
