Anonymous participant So he was asked questions - not stopped from entering. One case at one entry point being asked questions. No matter what anyone tells you on here will change your mind about anything. I worked in Project Management for 30+ years and thought I was "Risk-averse" - you take the the crown. Are you this risk averse in your life generally?
Anonymous participant Where are these "Credible" sources. Show me one credible source where someone has been denied entry due to no booed or ongoing activity. Just one first hand credible source please.
It was said some applications would be decided in Bamgkok. Some South Asian countries were mentioned specifically. If this applies to others??? If all applications were sent to Bangkok the MFA would need a lot of resources in Bangkok.
Anonymous participant There is too much speculation on here. Of course anyone entering the country can be asked questions. I was asked on a BOI Executive Visa which has a high requirement level. As for the DTV, as it stands today, you will get 180 days per entry and they do not ask for proof of money or ongoing activity. You can only deal with how things stand today.
You can only act on current practice which is no ongoing courses or activity are required if you are entering the country. Anyone guessing that may change is doing just that, guessing.
Every country is the same in that not everything is black and white. I have had a couple of talks with a British Consular Officer over this over a drink and football (before visa processing outsourced). I wanted to take my Thai friend to a wedding in London so was asking (This was not Thailand) for info. They leave much to discretion for a reason. PS: in the end we did not apply. The father of the bride was a British Ambassador but we thought too much hassle to apply.
You could go through the Priority Lane in that condition. Does not help with the walk from the plane to immigration area though. I once had to have a wheelchair service leaving. Hated everyone staring and being loaded on the plane but the back door :-)
