Will I face issues entering Thailand again after being denied entry on a 60-day exemption if I have a DTV visa?

Question

Hello everyone. I was denied entry into Thailand based on a 60-day exemption. Will I have a problem entering with a DTV visa? Has anyone had a similar problem? How can I re-enter Thailand? I don't have an entry ban.

It all depends on the immigration officer  some will let you in, others won’t. From what I’ve noticed, female officers usually check things more thoroughly than their male colleagues.

On my second entry, I got a warning (from a female officer), and on my third try, I was denied entry (again by two different female officers).

I followed advice from another officer and flew to Malaysia for a few days before coming back. I was also recommended to go to a male officer’s counter.

So I tried that and when it was my turn, he barely even looked at me. Fingerprints, photo, and “Enjoy your stay in Thailand!” 😅

Just get a tourist visa or DTV.  If it’s because you have numerous boarder bounce stamps then consider getting a new passport.  They don’t like people gaming their system.

Recommend you finish new visa before returning. DTV or ED visa are the best option ( DTV need show 500K in bank statement, ED visa just show 30K ). You can contact to this muaythai school, it’s muaythai school under Thailand education ministry , can support both DTV or ED visa by themselves paperwork.

Once you get the DTV you will NOT have any issue to enter Thailand. you can even apply tourist Visa from embassy and go to Thailand without any issue (i have done it before i got the DTV), they only banned you for using visa exemption too many time in one year (dont argue with me about there is no mentioned the limit anywhere, i am just telling you what i have been told by the Thai IMMIG), i am sure if you wait another 6-8 months outside Thailand then you can even come with visa exemption....

Many people who got denied entry without a visa, usually gets told they should get a proper visa... did they tell you to get one? I was here 2years+ with exempts (only 2 times 60d tr visa) until I got lectured longtime at the airport.. they let me in but told me it was the last time, after that I went to get ED and used that for 9months before getting back to my home country where I applied, and got the DTV
