How do Thai people gets their tourist approved to visit USA?

So my wife was recently denied tourist visa to the USA. Background, she has a job at a hospital, we own a home together, and we have over 300k in her bank account “that money has been sitting there for over a year”. She also printed out her bank statement for the interview but they never asked to see it. Agent asked, what she want to go to the states for, where is she planing to visit and where is she staying. After that the interview was over and found that she was denied.

Maybe some of you guys who have had experience can share with me in how to get her a tourist visa.

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone here can help me with a few questions about the DTV (Soft Power Muay Thai) Visa.

I’m currently in Indonesia (Kei Islands) and planning to apply from here. I’d be very grateful for any insights:

1.) Does anyone know a good Muay Thai gym in Bangkok that offers training vouchers or flexible packages?

I plan to stay in Thailand for only 2 months before going back to Germany for work for 4 months — and then returning to Thailand. So a full 6-month course might not make sense if I can't use the whole time.

2.) I still have an unused Tourist Visa from Cambodia, but ended up entering Thailand via Visa Exemption at a land border because the Tourist Visa process took too long. Could that cause issues when entering Thailand with the DTV Visa?

3.) Would it be better to enter Thailand again now using the unused Tourist Visa (by plane from Indonesia), and apply for the DTV Visa later from Germany?

Travel history this year:

Dec 2024: Entered Thailand with Visa Exemption. Was questioned at Immigration, but had a nice conversation in Thai with them and they told me, I should get next time a proper Visa and did too many 30 days extensions (last year and only Visa Exemption entry) but could enter Thailand again...

Feb 2025: Left to Cambodia for 10 days

Mar 2025: Returned to Thailand via Visa Exemption again

Apr 2025: Left Thailand to Indonesia

May 2025: Planning to return (flight from Indonesia)

I didn't do any 30 days extensions this time :-))

Thanks so much in advance! Really appreciate any advice or shared experience 🙏🙏🙏

My passport needs renewing next year so when I return to Thailand with it, the immigration officer won’t know how many times I’ve been in & out of Thailand unless he goes into the system am I right thinking that 🤔

If I have 2 passports, and I present a brand new passport to the customs officer, does the system see my entire previous travel history, or just my last departure from Thailand?

Has there been any cases of DTV visa holders being denied entry to Thailand at the Bangkok airports due to a long history of stays in Thailand? Ran a search and couldn’t find anything, which I guess is a good sign

Hi, I'm from the UK

I entered Thailand on visa exemption in June, stayed 30 days and then flew to Cambodia.

I flew back after 5 days on visa exemption it had changed to 60 days so I stayed and then flew to the Philippines.

After 5 days I flew back to Thailand and stayed 60 and the extended 30.

I flew out before Christmas to korea and will return on the 2nd of January.

Do you think I will have issues entering next week?

Question: I'm visiting Thailand beginning of 2025 on a visa exempt..planning to stay 1-2 months, after which I want to fly to another Asian country and spend there one week before returning to Thailand for another couple of weeks (so another visa exempt).

Could this possibly be problematic upon flying back to Thailand? I've heard stories that entering Thailand twice a year on a visa exempt is not always granted anymore since the introduction of the DTV.

Hi there. I will be arriving at Suvarnabumhi next week with a brand new Irish passport. It has a new number. Is there any problem with this? How do they pull up my travel history? Should I bring my old passport just in case? Is my name n fingerprints enough?

Hello all,

Does anybody here has experiences or knowledge about entering Thailand with two different passports and therefore nationalities?

I know that immigration using a biometric system which should identify one via fingerprints or the picture. But would be curious if it really worked or not?

In case it is working and they ask you about dual citizenship, my assumption would be that this should be no big issue if you give them a valid explanation.

Or do I miss something and using a different passports than the times before could be seen as cheating to vanish the previous travel history?

I have an “and everything else” Q: 8yrs ago (2016) I stayed in a hotel on what people are telling me was the backside of Kasetsart University.

All I can remember about the area from that time is the following:

coming off of whatever main road (I believe from JJ Market/Nakhon Chai Air 🚌 ) the 🚖 turned left onto my destination street and almost immediately again turned left. I was surprised at how fast we’d reached.

There was a really nice almost new looking 7-11 tucked off to my right on this soi. It had really nice and clean food stalls where you had to climb up a few stairs as I saw from the back seat to my left, and the strip had lots of nice looking hotels on the right (same side as the 7). Even the 1 I stayed in was perfect and surprisingly quiet given all the night life hustle and bustle on the strip.

It had a decent amount of night foot traffic but nothing near as busy as Soi 11… Although if you walked to the end of the soi and looked right, the man road was but a stones throw away. Someone who frequents BKK more often, please #help! What area of Kasetsart Uni was I in?!… 🤔

I can’t remember the area or the hotel because I’ve had no need to go to Bangkok since then really and I’ve got an English Camp coming up around that area week of the 7th. If I can learn the name of the area, I can probably find the hotel unless of course they’ve been remodeled/bought out. #changeisaconstant
