Applied for e-visa a few days ago, just received this. Has anyone got anything similar before? Or what do you think could be the reason for it? location: Penang, Malaysia

Hi all, here goes.

My wife is planning to apply for the DTV. I understand them I would need to apply and our kids also.

I think there is a speed bump in our way.

2 years ago I had a run in with the law. I fulfilled all my obligations to that issue and all of that.

Because of this, did I ruin my family’s chance at doing this?

Anonymous for obvious reasons.

I'm curious how likely it is to get denied a 30 day extension after my last (recent) trip had an extension.

Both trips have been done on a 60 day tourist visa. I had no issues the first time extending my visa.. but the concern comes because I left Thailand for 10 days and came back under a new 60 day tourist visa. Immigration pulled me aside and was asking if I am working here or have a girlfriend here (I don't). They then asked if I have a flight out and made me show them. They continued to ask where I'm going afterward to make sure I wasn't coming to Thailand right after.

Now I'm worried about getting my extension. I've read other people have similar questioning from immigration when returning to the county, only to get denied the extension, saying that immigration put a note saying they would leave the country within 60 days. I have only seen this once on reddit.

This is my 2nd time in Thailand this year, but the last time I was here was 2018. So it's not like I keep coming back.. but I am curious if there is a concern trying to do two back to back tourist visas, both with extensions.

(I'm American and aware I could have just done a visa exemption, but figured a tourist visa was more likely to get me approved for the entries and the extensions).

# Update in 2024 on Education Visa and Traveling abroad: Has anyone with the ED visa while living in Thailand travelled abroad recently? Any problems when coming back into Thailand? If so, how do I ensure it is smooth when I come back?

Background

1. I might have to travel abroad to USA for a Funeral of my Uncle - maybe 1 week. Then maybe to China as we have family there too, 1 week. So perhaps 2-3 weeks away before returning back. I am about 3 months out of 1 year into my ED Thai Language Study Visa.

2. My University delivers its coursework online. My agent and the school assured me that this is fine and stated that I could travel abroad if I decide to do so - I confirmed this prior to applying for the ED Visa. They can write me a letter stating I'm a current student. I have my student ID and coursework on my phone in PDF format as well

3. I believe that my Thai is better than 90% of students who have studied the same time I have (3 months). This is because I do daily immersion lessons on my own (outside of class). I can explain exactly why I had to leave the country in Thai. I need to learn a few vocabulary words though.

4. I'm aware I need a Re Entry Permit prior to travel

Hi, I have noticed my first name is misspelled on my tourist visa which has been granted using the UK evisa system, JONN instead of JOHN, everything else is correct, will this be a problem? I have used many tourist visas in the past but never with a spelling mistake, thanks.

Question, would this be an “issue” if I was to return to thailand in either Oct/nov/dec 2023,. I was in thailand on a 60 day TR visa from jan 1st 2023 and did 3 extensions and 2 border bounces, 185 days in TH and left country back to uk on July 4th 2023,. Would imo be getting red flags on my previous history, or would it be safer to return in 2024 ?

Hello everyone.

My spouse got her dependent visa today and we have a flight ticket for tomorrow.

But, gender printed on her Visa is Wrong, Male instead of Female. Will that be a problem during immigration?

Her passport has correct gender and there was no gender column in the form that we filled for the visa.

Did anyone face this before?
