ORIGINAL POSTER

I Went to Thailand under visa exemption from uk, last year Sep - Dec , then again Jan - April (adding the extra 30 days both times). Had to leave as "visa" was  expiring and went to Vietnam/Malaysia for a week. Came back to Thailand hoping to get a  flight I had  booked for 2 weeks times. 

Wasn't allowed  entry, which now  I understand why, was  sent back to Vietnam then I went onwards to UK. Though I'm looking to go back with a tourist  visa soon as I've just had one approved.

Anyone forsee any immigration issues from your experience?

Jan ******************

If you have already been denied entry on the grounds that the immigration consider you to be misusing tourist schemes in order to obtain long-term stay in Thailand without the appropriate visa, the issuance of a tourist visa will not in itself guarantee that you will be permitted re-entry as a tourist. In such circumstances, I would recommend engaging an agent who provides so-called pre-scan or safe entry services, as they assume responsibility for your application and guarantee admission should they accept your case.
