Yes this is what I thought would be the case, still going to go through similar scrutiny at the border regardless. Will keep an eye on reports here over next couple months, I've managed to get a stamp until end of Nov now so I'm good for a while. Cheers
If you've travelled to another country and bought a tourist visa, which has been granted by the thai consulate there, is it still possible to be denied entry at the border?
Yes I understand that is the stamp that they don't like, but my question is are land borders likely to be less strict on my previous stamps than Suvarnabhumi immigration? And if so which land border would be best?
Likely to convert to an Education visa begining of next year, but haven't yet decided to stay in Pattaya or move to Phuket. So before enrolling in a school I'm looking for an interim solution for the next few months.
Left Thailand August 2021 and returned 16 June 2022 on visa exempt. Was here for ~6 weeks and went to Phnom Penh 2 weeks prior to my extension stamp expiring. Stayed there for 5 days then returned.
Prior to leaving Thailand Aug 2021 though I had been on a Volunteer visa. Was a Visa Exempt + 30 day ext then converted to a 3 months Non-B + 12 month volunteer visa. Stayed the majority of this time, with a 3 month trip out to the US, re-entering Thailand on the Volunteer visa with a re-entry permit.
It's the volunteer visa stamp that they don't like seeing it would appear.
