My ? Is more opposite of most here. I have a female friend in Bangkok and she has tried 4x for a tourist visa and has been denied each time. Why is it so hard. What do we have to do to get a tourist visa. To USA. Thank you Didn’t know it was so difficult!
Hello! My Muay Thai school has said they are hearing reports of people on an education visa extension not being able to return to Thailand even after obtaining a re-entry permit.
I am looking to leave for a weekend (I wouldn’t miss any classes) and would obtain a reentry permit. Would be my first time doing it on this visa. Is there any issue?
My son completed 11 months of a 12 month education visa for Thai language. I was on a retirement visa for a year. My visa expired a month before he was due to finish ( I got it through the Canberra embassy and it arrived faster than I thought). So he got a letter of early finalisation apparently required from the language school in CM. We then departed for another country on the day my visa finished and were gone a month. We checked everything face to face with CM immigration about leaving and then coming back on a tourist visa, returning for 3 weeks before heading home to Australia. We arrived back at Suvarnabhumi airport and no problem I was stamped through. Then they stopped my son and I came back with him and he was given a hard time about not finishing his course. He had the letter. He was asked one question in Thai and the officer was saying he hadn't studied. We had just come off a night flight without sleep. Then the officer said he cannot come back on an education visa. There were three officers. They were pretty rude and officious but then did allow him to be stamped in as a tourist. We did all the right things according to CM immigration requirements but Bangkok were upset. They also said we cannot come here to live etc. Never said we wanted to!! I love Thai people in general but is this usual?
I've heard that Thailand is currently making it challenging for travelers to enter the country, even for those who have obtained a visa. Can anyone provide more information or insights on this issue? Has anyone recently traveled to Thailand and encountered difficulties upon arrival? I'd appreciate any updates or advice on what to expect when planning a trip to Thailand.
My Thai fiancée has been approved for a K1 visa to the USA. There are a few more steps before she will go for her interview in possibly 4 to 5 months. The question I have is, I know the K-1 visa states that we have plans to live permanently in the United States. I am retired so we plan on traveling back and forth, splitting our time between the two countries. she has family here in Thailand and owns her own home and farm. I have family in the United States and live with my sister at her house. Has anyone been in the same situation and has their K-1 Visa been rejected because of not staying in the United States permanently ? I have stated these plans of splitting time between the 2 countries to the USCIS. Now the approval goes to the UVC for processing before it is approved and sent to the US Embassy in Bangkok. Any suggestions would be appreciated….
Hello. Hope my questions find you happy and healthy. My question is about the retirement visa for Thailand. I know what I need to do to qualify. My question is on restrictions after I qualify. Is there restrictions on travel out of Thailand visiting other countries in the region like Australia, Vietnam and Japan. Can I travel back and forth home to the US or are their limitations? Having older parents makes me worry about this
I would love to understand please. How critical is it to stay in Vietnam and wait for the dtv visa approval? If I leave before approval? Will this create problems?
