No thats a hobby of mine, I did it while I was working as a teacher its still up and running too. The business that went under was a language school in Bangkok.

Yes thats an option Ive thought about and doing the ED visa would have given me the time to do that and learn some time at the same time. But I have the stamp in my passport given to me when I applied for my 2nd Tourist visa and I think getting any type of visa is unlikely while thats there.

A few days ago yes that was me, yes I have a degree but you can only work for 4 year without a teaching licence you can only get that if you have a Masters or PGCE. I understand what you are saying but when you have built a life here and rule changes are brought in. Ive always tried to follow the rules and do the right thing, Ive applied at the right times but been let down by schools or had the rules change half way through the application. Thanks for the comments.

Yes it was to study Thai, applied Vientiane, Ive worked the rest of the time on Non B visas I had to get a second tourist visa due to the changes that have recently happened when you apply for a Non ED visa only 1 unit at a time where before it was 2 unit.

I just applied for a student visa and was denied.

Did you get the first tourist visa at Vientiane?

I thought about that but getting back into Thailand through the airports seems to be a problem at the moment, the school said they can arrange the documents. It just seems the stamp I got is causing problems and maybe that would do the same when I return to Thailand. Thanks for the advice . Can they refuse entry if I have the visa from the Uk?

No real question just sharing something that happened. If any question it would be how can I get a valid visa? Now that I have this stamp in my passport it seems thats all that gets looked at. Has anyone else experience something similar?
