WRONG.......If he was issued the visa he should 100% be let in period...I dont care how many visas he has had.... If Thailand does not want certain people here then dont issue the visa...

Popular Post beeper Posted October 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2019 Immigration assume that everyone knows what a genuine tourist does. They probably have too many cases of people in the past coming in on tourist visas but actually doing things that are non-tourist. That said, they shouldn't have approved the METV at the point of application instead of coming to Thailand and getting it rejected. It just isn't fair. Any country reserves the right to deny entry at the border to someone who was granted a visa. Thailand is not an exception. Thais have been suffering the EU visa application process for years. Not to mention the UK and US processes who are even restrictiveFor decades westerners have been getting away with staying in Thailand for longperiods of time in ways that in none of our home countries are possible. Have you ever heard of a visa run to Switzerland? Now that Thailand starting to crack down on this long-standing abuse people cry “it’s not fair”I really don’t get it.

Popular Post andy72 Posted October 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) a METV should be honoured if issued if the bogus 180 days exists fine define it is it like land crossings resets in jan i had a 5 year multi for india 180 days max at a time never a problem a metv should never be packed off home the metv can be cancelled a 30 day exempt issued and relevant data entered into computer and told to individual define a tourist everybody is different some people just want sunshine relax and a pint for others its excursions etc so all those people who go to spain lie on a sunbed beside the pool all day go to the bar at night have a sunday roast or sausage and sauerkraut are not defined as tourists.

Except they're basically (with one limited exception) only going to accept Thai insurance policies, even for people who already have full coverage in Thailand thru their home country or other international insurance. Do you like paying $2000 USD a year for a pretty useless Thai insurance policy that would only cover a fraction of what your pre-existing home country or international policy already covers? Not to mention, NONE of the recently announced requirements have anything to do with people coming here visa exempt or on tourist visas, who typically are the ones who end up with hospital related go-fund-me pleas. They're totally and completely exempt for now. How's that for "good ideas"? Edited October 13, 2019 by TallGuyJohninBKK 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jollyhangmon Posted October 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2019 Hallo Freund, thanks for the report, one of many and counting ... Rest assured that - apart from your GF - you actually don't miss much here, going downhill fast in pretty much every aspect. Just make sure you spread the word back home up and down & left to right on social media so that people don't keep getting cought in this 1st class scam of issuing expensive visa first, then denying entry - with all the problems & additional high costs attached. Also make sure to include the Austrians & Swiss, just for starters. Generally tell the Volk over there to spend their hard earned Euros elsewhere, meanwhile it's worth excrement here anyway and that's the only way to deliver the adequate message to these greedy clowns in camoflage rags over here ... Grusz, jolly eh. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Thai women who are involved with these men, get on FB and tell their friends how their boyfriend was not allowed to visit Thailand, how his big money on tickets and visa was wasted, how she is afraid to lose him and his support now. Is she going to find a replacement from the program of waiving the 2000 baht fee for VOA for some limited weird countries like Ethiopia and Vanuatu during their 15 day max stay?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single one of those visits over a period of 4-5 years was on a visa exempt entry. And never once was boo said about it, even as my passport gradually accumulated quite a collection of stamps. Today, if I was trying to repeat that pattern, I doubt very much that it would be allowed by Immigration. And yet all that time, I was living in my home country and holding down a full-time job in my home country. I was 100% a tourist, but one who was making a lot of repeat entries multiple times per year. Visa exempt 30 days? you stayed max of 4 separate months in Thailand going back to your origin country between visa exempt entries OP it would appear has spent double that time per year in Thailand for a couple of years on x 2 METV probably just visiting neighbouring countries long enough to extend his stay Not anyway near the same to an IO is it?

Popular Post lemonjelly Posted October 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2019 It should be the Thai embassy that should be refusing to issue visas rather than issuing them to people who then get refused by some low level IO with the consequence of being thrown into a cell and wasting money on flights.

I wasn't saying or suggesting my history is/was the same as the OPs. I was saying, even with my lesser time in Thailand on a year to year basis during those days, I'm not sure I'd avoid entry hassles coming in today if I was doing the same thing today I was doing back then -- which is a whole lot less than the OP's time in country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
