Will I face immigration issues when returning to Thailand with a tourist visa after being denied entry before?
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?

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.
