I know we’re talking about UK but my sister-in-law was refused a tourist visa for Australia. One of the ‘reasons’ they gave was that money had only recently been deposited into her savings account. This apparently indicates to them that she normally doesn’t have any!

Flew Thai Airways from Munich to Bangkok September 2023. Check-in staff required sight of return/onward ticket or, ‘some sort of visa’. I had extension from Non-O (Retirement) Visa and reentry permit which I showed them.

Shouldn’t be permitted to reject any application for such reason.

My second leg (Bahrain to Bangkok) was cancelled due to a death on the aircraft. We were provided with refreshments, transportation and overnight accommodation. Didn’t actually incur any loss though.

That’s diabolical Max! This is exactly the situation for which you purchase travel insurance (as you well know). I had similar, booked connecting flights with same airline on same booking. First flight cancelled and no other flights available to connect in time. Couldn’t change or cancel the second flight because of the terms and conditions of booking.

My bank always immediately understood what I needed until the last occasion. They asked; ‘for Thai immigration?’.

@Nicholas *****

I did the same. Perhaps we weren’t ‘pinged’ for a manual check because onward flight was visible in the airlines booking system?

Everyone has bad days! There is always friction between front desk and back office employees. The officer was probably ordered to refuse the OP’s DTV and didn’t want to. Assuming the gym in question wasn’t certified the OP wound him up by accusing him of previously granting DTV’s (when he shouldn’t) and now turning ‘awkward’ by refusing to issue his.

Took me 4 years. Amphur already had all required information from our recent marriage. However, they insisted they needed another ‘original’ translated and certified copy of my passport etc. I wasn’t prepared to go to Bangkok again so gave up. By chance, my wife spoke to head of customer services at one of our local blood donor sessions. He told his staff to copy over the information they already had and I got my Yellow Book and Pink Card.

@Steve ******

I’d say you’re good to go Steve!
