Will I face issues entering Thailand on a tourist visa given my immigration history?

Darren *********

I don't think so. You can always apply. It might make them look closer and verify everything just to make sure you aren't using the marriage to get in.

Darren *********

If you get an actual visa you should be fine. But until you are standing in front of the IO it is all a guess. They can deny you for any reason. Having an actual approved visa and the other things you listed should remove the easy reasons for refusal.

If you have it you won't need it. And of course if you don't have it they will ask for it first thing.

Don't listen to these people just show up at the airport and they will give you one. Tell the immigration officer that you want to do their job and ask how to apply. Be sure and speak as many different languages as you know words from. That will really impress them.

Why do teaching jobs in Thailand prefer native English speakers over non-native speakers like Indians?

Darren *********

@Abhishek *****

someone who learns a language will speak it correctly. A native speaker speaks it naturally. So if you want to talk like a textbook than you are fine either way,but if you want to sound native the only way to learn it is from a native speaker.

Every embassy can set more strick standards. You are fighting an unwinnable battle and will only make things worse if you get to pissy.

Are there any exceptions to the age requirement for the retirement visa in Thailand?

Darren *********

you are mixed up. DTV is less in the bank than a retirement visa. And can be in your home bank rather than needing a Thai bank account.
