Greetings to all.

I want to share my latest experiences regarding multiple entry NoN-O marriage based visa from Savannakhet.

So, I got my visa at the end of September last year and the first 90 days of my stay was approved by the end of December.

Since I had private reasons, I could not leave in time, so I used the ext. of 60 days (visiting a Thai family) and extended my stay until the end of February.

I used my first border bounce (or is it called a border run, not sure of the correct terminology but you get the gist) to go to Singapore. Well, that's where the problems start...

When I arrived in Singapore, the immigration lady asked me what kind of visa I have for Thailand and why I have a "USED" stamp (which I don't think is really her problem). I said I got it right after first entering Thailand, then she asked me a bunch of private questions and finally allowed me to enter Singapore.

Another inconvenience occurred during Check-in on the way back from Singapore, at the AirAsia counter. Same story again - questions about the "USED" stamp and confused looks from the workers, only this time I was kept aside for about 30 minutes. In the end, they printed my boarding pass and allowed me to board.

The third inconvenience, albeit the shortest, is when entering Thailand at Don Mueang Airport.

The gentleman from the immigration office asked me to show him my visa, even though I duly handed him my passport. I showed him the visa sticker and after a short observation he says: "Oh, this is a Mulitple entry visa. Why does it have this USED stamp, it's a mistake?!" I answer that I don't know, that's how his colleague stamped my visa sticker when I first entered the country.

He granted me entry and returned my passport.

Has anyone had similar experiences? Shouldn't there really be a USED stamp on the ME NoN-O visa?

This situation was stressful for me, and since I have to do a border bounce every 90 days, I believe that I will have the same inconvenience and stress again.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Just to note that I don't have any bad history in Thailand. A total of two proper tourist visas, with one regular extension. All other stays in other countries were also neat, touristy and short, without any bad history.

Hello All.

Actually i have applied for Thai Visa a few days back.

Today i received my passport with the visa, but a 'VOID' stamped on it.

Can anyone tell me, is there any problem in travelling to the country and if in case my visa is rejected, can i apply again for on arrival visa. I have confirmed flight tickets for 27th oct 2022.

In anyone can guide.

Hi , anyone in chonburi area having a problem geting the covid extension. I went to si racha immigration the people there gave me a hard time not sure if they're aware of the covid extension but I only got 30 days for 1900 not the 60 days. Then upon leaving the lady said only this one time she will help me but why wasn't I given the extra 30 days is there some way to report the office ?

Hi guys, we have a concern about our Visas. My husband and I applied for work permit. We got 3 month Non-B. They expired on April, after borders were closed. So right now we cannot do anything, but just wait till July 31. In March we were told that our application to work permit is approved. We need to go to employment office ( or how it calls?) and sign the papers. And that very moment everything got closed and we didn’t have chance to do that. So, question is, will it give us preferences to get work permit and make new 1 year non b visa? And if Employment office is working? Is it giving blue books? I appreciate any information:)

Today at Chang Wattana getting extension of stay and they have made a mistake on my stamp, they didn’t put today’s date they put the date until on there. Shall I leave it ? Or do I need to go and wait in the queue again and potentially get sick 😣

I need advise on my Visa problem: I hold an OA retirement Visa(multiple entry) issued in Los Angeles, CA. It originally expired in Aug 2019, and was extended until Aug 2020 upon re-entry in August 2019. I am now in the USA and wish to re-enter Thailand again in Feb 2020. I did not purchase a re-entry permit before leaving Thailand. Question: will immigration honor the August 2020 permitted to stay stamp in my passbook?

Will I now have to purchase Thai health insurance? Can I purchase (if needed) a re-entry permit at airport immigration?

If I have had issues entering Thailand on too many tourist visas on my Irish passport previously.

Will I have the same issues entering on a new British passport, never used in Thailand before?

I’m guessing with the fingerprints, everything will show and they will give me the same problems again?

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone had any problems with immigration regarding reapplying for new O-A visas numerous times after their current one expires, as opposed to staying/living in Thailand on extensions of stay?

Just stamped out at DMK. Immigration lady said, "Next time come back with work visa!" Leaving aside the fact there is no such thing as a work visa, the message I got is that they believe I'm still working in Thailand, even though I walked off my job in November and my latest entry was by VE with an extension, and not with a Non B. I'm still trying to make sense of it but I have a sneaky feeling she's flagged me and any future entry as a tourist will be denied. That is, as long as they believe I'm working. Luckily I have no actual need to return to Thailand. But it's a bit of a riddle - I am wondering if I'm screwed as a tourist visitor for a long time to come.

So, when you are denied entry at the airport and the airline staff representative asserts that you need to buy a ticket back home, what happens then? Do they ever come back for you? It seems like the holding cells suck.
