However, if he tries to enter again at the same airport using this visa, they may well deny him entry. I suspect they were trying to claim that he would not be admitted at any crossing using this visa, which I believe is currently not true. Is my suspicion also 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Will show my multientry visa In your OP, you wrote this: "they forced me to book the exit ticket for Malaysia and they made me a stamp where they converted my multi-entry visa from a single entry." I still don't see that ominous stamp that "converted" your multi-entry visa to a single-entry one. The reason why people have trouble believing this is because that has never been reported by anyone else. All I see is your unaltered visa and a regular entry stamp.

Perhaps the OP is not familiar with METVs, thinking that he should have gotten a '6-month-stamp', but of course a METV only gives permission to stay 60 days at a time.

I too suspect this is the situation. You do not get 6 months in one shot. It's 2 months which you can extend for one month after which you must leave the country and then can repeat to get another 2+1 months which as we all know is at the IO's discretion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT FITZGERSLD Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 from time to time, people post here about how they were "deported / stopped / denied entry" in thai airports, telling us how well they behaved all those years and the advanced degrees they hold from several universities. i must come to the deffence of thai immigration , based on my experience. i was also told by immigration officers in thailand that i come to thailand too many times on tourist /waiver visas, and that if i will continue to do so, they will deny my entry. so i kept on doing so and i was warned again and again, until i understood...the nice way. that is, i understood i better issue the right kind of visa. so it must be mentioned, to the deffence of thai immigration authorities, that they do give all the right warnings on time, nobody is denied entry just like that out of the blue. all the people who come to complain here about how they were denied entry and how "thailand no like falang anymore" are just talking nonsense. The thai immigration authorities are quite fair when dealing with most visitors and give them the right - and kind - amount of warnings before denying their entry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai IOs have become very adept at spotting people living in Thailand. I think bottom line is they really don't care if you have money or not, working illegally or not, they're simply trying to reduce people living in Thailand on Tourist visa. People with self respect will stop living in Thailand on Tourist visas but addicts will sneak in trhough land borders. I believe they are trying to reduce all Westerners living in Thailand, regardless of what kind of visa we have. We have seen enough of this to see what their agenda is. Frankly, I do not think they want us influencing their women folk. It is a terrible thing to gain knowledge and perspective. The army is a very small minded, very fearful, very paranoid institution. No progress in their game. All about self preservation. What is good for the nation and the people is never, ever taken into account with these incompetent fools. They will eventually be ousted by the youth of Thailand, who are the only hope the nation has, to progress and move forward. Fortunately, there is a percent of them who are activists, and really care. They are passionate about moving Thailand forward. All the army does is move the nation backwards, and suck the blood of the people. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve thought this for many years plus the fact that a farang can rock up to any town in Thailand and pull the best looking women effortlessly.

Those locales are almost entirely populated by short-term vacationers who have no issues with immigration. They don't have time for the "wine and dine" / relationship routine. Those are the folks whom immigration views as the "good tourists." By contrast, those supporting Thai wives and families are given hell getting extensions at many offices, unless paying them off via an agent. Those with savings or offshore incomes who are not married to a Thai have few long-term options - all involving payoffs of some sort, including the ED option. For now, they can still stay on serial-TR Visas + 2 Visa-Exempts per-year, but only if entering ONLY at law-abiding entry-points, and getting a new passport every year or so.

That will solve that issue In other words, many Thai families will be broken-up needlessly, and smaller businesses - many in small villages - will loose their best customers. On 10/12/2019 at 6:48 PM, cerox said: Endless discussions about people who think they are entitled to spend as long as they want in this country. I got denied too (my last visa) and I accept it as it is. It is their country - they decide how long they think it appropriate for us to stay here. Your money, your wishes, preferences etc. do not matter to them. No, we only wish the LAWS of the country were followed - not the whims of various officials, with unknowable made-up rules. Denying entry based on a lie is not following the law. To avoid problems one needs to enter at entry-points where the Actual Published Laws are used. These still exist, but are less-convenient, so people roll the dice (or don't know about the corruption and lawlessness) and some of those lose the gamble. This is what happened to the OP. If he used a law-abiding entry point, there would have been no issue at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
