I was recently denied entry in BKK due to using the visa exemption on entry too many times. I’m now back in the Uk where I am a citizen.
I did left the kingdom twice last year, each time reset my visa.
I emailed the Thai embassy in London to ask if I could apply for a DTV visa (soft power) and they replied with a very confusing message. They stated I may not be approved for the DTV and that I should apply for a tourist visa. They also said my name is on a blacklist with local immigration.
I have never heard of someone being blacklisted after a denied entry, only after overstays (I have never) or breaking the law. Could it be the email is misunderstood with regards to the phrasing?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, I love spending time in the kingdom and have been a genuine tourist the whole time. Not working etc…
I read about the automatic 60 day tourist visa upon arrival BUT ive also read about applying for same but an E Visa online from home prior to arrival but which costs what $60 CAD?
So what at all is the point or advantage in paying for said visa over being granted one automatically once arrived?
Anyone who have DTV visa get with Muay Thai . After 6 months out of Thailand and come back process is easy or not. Any documents need to show to thai border immigration again
Hi all, apologies if this has been asked before but in regards to DTV visa and the 500k baht bank balance.
I’ve seen conflicting answers to how long needs to show in your bank account. Varying between just current balance up to 6 months and also that it depends on which country you’re visiting the embassy in.
