Hypothetical situation, you applied for an e-visa in your home country. Due to uncontrollable circumstances, there was a very long delay in the approval process. You have taken the decision to travel to Thailand and enter visa exempt, instead of waiting for e-visa approval. I am thinking this may have consequences. Maybe you are denied entry visa exempt, because of pending e-visa approval or upon entry visa exempt, the e-visa application is automatically cancelled, as it should be. If anyone has had this experience, I would be interested in hearing your story.
