This is true for every Bangkok Bank nationwide, but not the other Bank.

@Ker ****

Because you asked for 30 days when 30 days is not a thing. It doesn't exist. It's 60 days. So they can't give you something that doesn't exist. They laughed likely because with your travel history you should know better. The 60 days visa exempt replaced the 30 days a while ago.

You will not get denied since it's evident that you are a tourist.

If people like you get denied, Thailand would literally collapse. The laws are not design to cause trouble to people like you.

But your post is making it clear that Thailand is shooting himself in the foot with the unclear messaging which will scare a lot of genuine tourists.

No problem

It was the exact day of the change, Grace from TVC answered above.

Geez, so it's getting harder even with TVC. Good lord! Well, I'm doing Non-O marriage with agent next, so I'll be okay. I'm done with leaving Thailand.

There a big difference between fast track with a reputable agent VS fast track using trip advisor or another random concierge online service. The person waiting for you at the gate is NOT the agent, it's the IO who already is expecting you. She has your picture on her phone and already got paid by the agent to let you in. So I'm confused about what happened there. It's as if you guys used a regular online fast track service, rather than an agent who coordinated with IO in advance.

@Tristan **********

Which agent did you use for Fast Track?

This is unusual, as the person waiting at the gate is supposed to be the IO who already is expecting you and will be the one scanning your passport herself.

@Robert *******

Yes, but I'm trying to understand what happened to Den Den. I used fast track a few times, and never had an agent waiting for me, it's always the IO who knows you are coming.
