Will I be subject to the Immigration Officer (IO) process with an Elite Visa in Thailand?

Elite Visa Immigration Entry Denial Visa Rules Thailand Visas ED Visa Immigration Officer Re-entry Issues

Apr 27, 2019

7 years ago

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey,

I'm thinking about getting the Elite Visa and I was wondering if I will still be subject to the IO process at immigration. Can IO still deny my entry like they do with people on ED or TV? I'm asking specifically, because I have a friend who was denied re-entry whilst on ED visa under suspicion of working without permit, which he wasn't.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user seeks clarification on whether holders of the Elite Visa are subject to the same Immigration Officer (IO) scrutiny as those on ED or TV visas, particularly in light of a friend's recent experience with denied re-entry.
