Hi everyone. I have a serious problem. I have family in Thailand — my child and my partner. We’re not married, and I need to get parental rights through a Thai court, so we hired a lawyer. When my exemption stay ended, I left for Vietnam for 45 days and then flew back to DMK a few days ago.

What happened there was shocking. Many people were denied entry. I had all documents — a letter from my lawyer, invitation from my partner’s family, Thai bank statement, my child’s birth certificate — but they didn’t look at anything. They just said I “can’t enter for the third time,” took my passport, and put me in the detention room for the night. The conditions were terrible.

The main issue: they didn’t put any stamp in my passport. No denied entry, nothing. The next day, after returning to Vietnam, I applied for a tourist visa with all documents and clearly stated that I want to visit my family for the holidays. The next day I got a simple “your visa application has been rejected.” No explanation. Embassy and e-visa center won’t tell us anything.

Now I don’t know what to do. I’m planning to fly to Vientiane, try to enter by land, and if they refuse me again, I want to apply for a Non-O visa at the Thai embassy there. But I’ve already lost so much money that I’m afraid of another rejection.

If anyone has experience with this situation, please share advice. I just want to be with my family for Christmas. Thank you.

Hi am a bit confused with what visa I should apply for I am married to a Thai lady I am in Australia at the moment I have applied for visa with Thai embassy in Sydney I would like to stay legally as long as I can with her and family I have spoken on the phone with the embassy they were helpful but I want to be sure any help would be appreciated I was told a non immigrant spouse visa is correct

I applied for an exemption to leave Australia afew days ago with what I thought was all relevant evidence my wife and daughter reside in Thailand but was denied, no reason just denied.

Could it be that I applied from Perth in its current situation?

Would that affect it?

Question: As anyone applied or hold an Elite visa? Been told phase 6 will allow holders of this visa very soon. Personally looking to do it so I can go back and reunite with my Thai family. I was about to get married when COVID unfolded and had to return to 🇺🇸 stuck since March. Any people who are holders and experienced with the process welcome to comment. I am not posting for opinions on this visa but rather experience for elite visa holders. At this point, I don’t care about the money my family and their well being and life are more important than cash. Thx 🙏

Been stuck in africa for 100 days. Desperate to get back to my family in phuket.
