I got pulled up at immigration and was told I need a visa after coming here for 13 years staying for visa entry

Why do people do Boarder Runs ? Why not extend at immigration offices ? In Hua Hin it takes all day to do and obviously costs money with an agent so why not just spend 1500 baht and get it done locally. Am I missing something 🤷‍♂️

Hi all ..

Anyone had the 60 day tourist stamp ( visa ) refused or had problems. while stood in front thai immigration officer ?

At the airport .

What happens returned on next flight ??

Can you get some sort of visa there .

I know of all the problems about over staying and going to often etc .

It's just about the refusal in the airport .

Hi! I’m curious, is anyone else visiting Bali while awaiting their Visa’s being approved, experiencing an un-usually long delay, keeping you in Bali way longer than you planned for? I had an anonymous member leave a comment on my post, saying that they were having this issue just like me. If there’s an issue with immigrations approving Visa’s in Bali/Indonesia, I want to know. People have a right to know, before they come to here in the 1st place.

Anyone gotten rejected after pending approval?

I used to do border runs for visa free entry but in February Thai customs at bkk airport told me to stop doing visa exempt runs and apply for a DTV or tourist visa. So in April I went to Manila to apply for a DTV visa which was rejected (I posted my experience with the dtv rejection in this group around 5 days ago) and then applied for a tourist visa afterwards. Attached is the email they just sent me.

Not sure what they want from me at this point but this is beyond frustrating.

Visited Thailand 17/12/24 on visa except left Thailand on 2/1/25 when the new scanning gate for passports came in scanned passport OK but did not receive a stamp out in my passport, i intend visiting Thailand again in August 2025 will i have any problems not having a stamp out in my passport, iam a British passport holder thanks

My proof of current location is a digital VOA entry document in Indonesia that mispels one of my names (one letter missing). Am I likely looking at a rejected visa if I use this? Thanks.

11/Apr/2025 I just went to Bangkok Bank in Ratchaburi province to attempt to open a bank account. The bank employee had 100 reasons for denying me and no reasons to help me. The biggest hurdle I was unable to jump over. It was…my visa had to state “retirement” in my passport. Well, I have a Non-O marriage visa and it doesn’t state “retirement”. My Thai wife and I both looked at each other and decided it was hopeless.

We went to Krungthai bank and they rolled out the red carpet for us. They were looking for reasons to help us. Smooth sailing at Krungthai.

Update 09/04/2025 Bank Account opening

Went to Bangkok Bank in Nong Bua Lamphu.

Waited patiently in line for an hour with my Thai wife

Presented my Passport, English Driving Licence, Non O 90 day retirement visa, signed letter to Bank of Bangkok, from Nong Bua Lamphu Immigration and stamped TM30 and was told that this was not enough. Now being told I need a Yellow Book. Totally frustrating and at a loss what to do. PS. Please do not tell me to use an agent, my background is finance and cannot jeopardise my position by using agents.
