Hello all,

I am in need of help/advice. I was just rejected at DMK trying to enter with a 60 day tourist visa, I'm still in holding cell. Even though I had proof of cash in excess of 20,000 b and a flight out of Thailand to KUL, I was told that because I had entered Thailand four times already and stayed approx 120 days in the first half of the year, I could not return. I was out of Thailand for two months in the USA, my home country, and China before attempting to return. I'm still not 100% sure the exact reasoning of why I was denied, except that I got a hard line IO. My question is, does a tourist visa rejection deny someone from getting another type of visa, say ED, volunteer, or spousal dependent and entering Thailand?

Hello all. I am doing a border run tomorrow from Hat Yai to Pedang Besar. (I have a METV from UK and this is my first time going out of Thailand).

My wife and son were at immigration today getting her working visa extended to 1 year. Whilst doing this, the immigration officer told my wife that doing a land border crossing wasn't a good idea even though I have the 20k funds, first time in Thailand so I haven't been going in and out of Thailand on visa exempts. I have the correct visa for my requirements. I fully understand that it is down to the immigration officers decision but are there any real reason for not granting me entry back into Thailand?

TIA

Mark

This is Section 12 of the immigration act and lists the reasons you can be denied entry to thailand.

These are the ONLY reasons you can be denied entry.
