I entered Thailand in September 26 2018.... VOA, basis of the story is, after a few land border runs and a tourist visa/ one flight to Malaysia and back to Thailand, once expired I returned to the uk in October 2019. I spent 3 weeks with family, then rebooked to return in November 2019 on a VOA 30 days.
I had a return ticket for December 2nd, I had cash, I was smartly dressed with a trimmed beard.
I was only asked if I had cash and was left to sit for 1 hour in waiting room at bkk airport, immigration returned with transit papers and passport, denied access and sent packing on EVA flight back to the uk. Passport stamped insufficient means..... I was told too many entries back to back in Thailand..... they said get a visa and come back next year ( 2020 )
I am now in the process of applying for a tourist visa, so that I can return and get married and obtain a spouse visa thereafter..... I am 48 years old, with savings, I do not work full time as I help out family and have a family monthly allowance.
with this detail I’ve provided..... what’s the likely hood of me being granted access on January 1st 2020 with a tourist visa, and lots of paperwork to back this genuine trip to visit my girlfriend?
I am hoping to get some feedback from this forum, that will assist me or others in this complex immigration system, being that I am 48 years old without an official employer etc, any advice is greatly appreciated.
