Got approved for Muay Thai visa today, same day after the interview for 5 years. I used an agency which helped get all the documents in order before everything was submitted, IMO, this makes it worth the cost. They also have a service that can do the 90 day report for a small fee.

Short story though: about a month ago, I attempted to return to Thailand on a visa exempt status after my ED visa expired, I got grilled at the BKK border and was denied entry. I don't believe i was given a fair chance to demonstrate my Thai knowledge, the officers were quite hostile which totally threw me off and I hesitated having a conversation with them in Thai. They asked maybe 2 questions at most and spoke at a native level, didnt ask to see if I could read or write Thai - the experience afterwards was fking awful. Anyone that has been through this will know 😂... surprisingly very few first hand accounts of others experiences i can find online, but you literally get treated like a criminal.

Anyway, just curious if anyone has had an extended stay in thailand and now obtained the DTV. Will they ask to see a departure flight? Got the feeling if I fly back into BKK, they will try to give me a hard time for the most idiotic reasons even though I have a legit visa.

Please advise 🙏

Student visa (college language) with re-entry permit.

Anybody who flew out and in to Thailand recently. I would like to know if the officers at the airport would ask for supporting documents.

Any information would be appreciated. Thank you 🙏🙏

Today arrived in swampi from PP with a TRV. Last year had TRV+extension followed by a Language ED 12 months. Had Ticket back to PP (wrong) 600 dollars and NO hotel bookings AFTER test and go.

They fucked me 2 hours! Read and write thai and whole conversation in thai. Show funds in bank account. Show picture girlfriend and explain a lot why i wanna stay thailand and how i pay for everything.

I do wrong

1 Ticket not to home country

2 No hotel bookings. They dont like private address from GF

3 No pic from bank account outside of thailand

Dont be like me. Do it better

Now stay in test and go hotel bkk and all good.

If i were to visit my home country and do my visa run there for an education visa for advanced Thai language course, is it possible for me to have problems at immigration upon re-entry?

Background info:

- Australian passport

- Been in Thailand since Sep. 2017

- Was using tourist visas for about 1y 3m until Immigration gave me a warning at DMK after a visa run to KL.

- So I got an Non-Immigrant Education visa

- After my 9mth. beginners thai lang. course I would like to move up to the advanced thai lang. course which requires a visa run

- Looking to visit home (🇦🇺) in approx. 3months and do my visa run at the same time

- Looking to fly direct from Kuala Lumpur KUL to Surat Thani URT on return trip to Thailand.

Is there a chance I may be denied entry even though I have a proper visa? Im not working in the country but I am mainly here for boxing.

Ive heard about immigration also questioning/testing your thai language capabilities, has anyone had this experience?

Thank you in advance for any advice! 🙂🙏🏽
