I have been three times since September 2024 on visa exemption for up to 50 days at a time. The last time I got questioned, but I had welcome letter from partner, proof of return tickets, income etc. And was let through.
I had read that there were issues with those with multiple Visa exemptions with people being turned back.
Going in Sempteber again and this time, I applied for a visa. I got it 1 day after submission online. That should be fine.
When it first came in it was advised to put the origin country as the one you started from eg manchester uk. The flight number would be the one you landed in Bangkok in my case the doha flight.
Thanks everyone. I just reopened it, made no changes and then submitted and the email notification came through in seconds...must have been a glitch yesterday
