Why did the immigration officer warn me after my border run to Thailand?

@Nongnuch *******

thanks, I am good. I have a DTV and I am married to a Thai. Also have a home in Cambodia, and travel internationally in the region very frequent.

- I think he was just telling you that in the future you can’t do that. Times are changing. He saw that you did it before and wanted to make sure you didn’t do it this time. Nothing nasty about it. They are pushing to get people of exemptions

What should I do if my DTV application was rejected without explanation?

- if it was a data mismatch issue, usually it would be a cancellation, not a rejection. Where were you when you applied and while waiting? In Hanoi? Did you check spam, etc to see if they asked for more documents?

not clear what you said happened. My passport shows given name and surname. What is listed in my passport under given name is both my first and middle names.

which embassy? Not many had evisa back then. I also applied in July, but it was paper based, in person.
