Lawrence Ching'anda I am pretty sure you can not check in for your flight 6 hours early. It is usually 3-4 hours before your flight. So impossible I thinks. There was an anouncement today from the consulate in Penang that anyone with an over stay stamp risks a high rate of refusal for a visa. Dont tempt fate. Just extend your current visa exempt entry. You can do this now. You do not have to wait until the admitted to stamp.

Best to extend it at your local immigration office by another 30 days. Cost 1,900 baht. More expensive than a 500 baht overstay fine. But will be easier to obtain a visa in the future if you do not have this stamped in your passport. Also you could be arrested if there is a police check on your way to the airport and then deported although very unlikely. Just pointing out the possibilities...

Sounds like you have tried everything. Did you show travel insurance out of interest? I would look for an agent where you only pay if your application is successful

Too much information is the best way to go. Including previous travel together, bus tickets, train tickets, even receipts in restaurants... They want to see that you have genuinely been together. So lots of photo's. Also give a detailed itinerary of your planned trip. Letters from your family also inviting her helps a lot. Include a written statement from her saying that she understands the visa rules and regulations. A letter from her employer helps as well. Anything else you can think of add it in also. Best of luck next time...

They did not give you a reason for the refusal?

Thanks. You do need a permit if selling to a Thai as well. I have done this in the past. Just wanted to make sure the rules had not changed. Many people have told me impossible and you also need a work permit. I know this not to be the case. Just wanted to double check rules had not changed. Many thanks

Thanks
