HELLO, Im new here, just wanted to run this by everyone. I was working with a non B visa until march this year. The business went under and I was out of a job, I did my first tourist visa to Savaneket without issue got the visa all ok. During the 2 months plus 1 month extension.I had I looked for a Thai language school as I wanted to student Thai and get a ED visa. I went to a School about half way through my visa, I was told its about a month to process everything. The school didnt do anything and then told me I should go do another tourist visa to give me more time. I went back to Saveneket as before, this time I was given a blue stamp above my visa. Remark The holder of the passport travels to Thailand under this passport port several times which may result in the refusal of a visa in the future. I was a little unhappy as this was only my second tourist visa In Thailand. This was also when the new visa appointment rule at Vientianne came into force , so a lot more people at Saveneket this time. I then got back to Thailand and found another school that I wanted to study with, all seemed ok paid the money and waited on the paperwork. The rules then changed again where as you could not apply for more than 1 language course at a time, previously you could apply for 2 at once. So another delay while the paper work was sent back and re written. In the meantime had to do a land border crossing which I got a month and then extended 1 more month at immigration in Bkk. I finally got the paperwork from the school and fly to udon and went over to Vientiane where I was refused my ED visa because they said they dont believe that I want to study and pointed at the stamp I had been given before. I said I only have 2 tourist visas all the other visas where Non b visas and the original tourist visa I got in the UK a 6 month tourist visa in my new passport. So in total I have been in Thailand for 9 years all on Non B visas, I went home for one year to save some money came back on a 6 months tourist visa that I had to prove savings and earnings for, then worked again on a Non B visa and then had 2 tourist visas and I did want to improve my Thai and student the language. I guess thats about it. Alot of people got rejected today also. I say at least 15 in a queue of 20. Nothing was put into my passport just handed back with the documents.
