ORIGINAL POSTER

Something Interesting! on my previous visit in my DTV visa, Lady officer asked me many questions before giving me stamp, But today i look for a counter at BKK APT with male officer. He just asked to show the visa soft copy, thats it he gave me stamp without any questions!

Many ppl in this group said lady IO's are strict. Thats seems to be true.

Why do you think Immigration Officers are there ?

Why do you think DTV holders have a special right to enter Thailand?

Even the MFA's own site tells you a visa does not guarantee entry and final say is Immigration.
