I'm in an exact same situation. It's just too much hassle to apply O-Visa for my baby (5-months). We are going to Canada and returning to Bangkok after a month. How did it go? Did the officer ask anything on your arrival here? I'd much appreciate if you could share what you have experienced assuming you are back already?

I just went to Singapore to apply tourist visa 60 days, and they denied. They won't accept if you have been in Thailand more than 90 days in 6 months, they said. So i couldn't even apply.

As return to Bangkok, they said I need a tourist visa and they turned me home. I had return ticket to home in 3 weeks, but it wasn't their concern at all....

Thailand has changed a lot.

After denied entry did they let you freely go and buy flight ticket to freely selected destination outside of Thailand? Would it be possible to buy ticket online in that situation?

Sorry to hear about your bad experience.

There will be someone collecting you and the person will be from the airline you flew in with, no many options as they said they need to get authorization and have paperwork to be done. They will also try to get you direct flight (at least in my case) and ask you to pay by either cash or C.C.

So... you cannot book flight online and won't have too many choices.

Could you give some details please - on the face of it this seems like a game changer. Which country are you from? would you normally be allowed to enter for 30 days on a visa exempt stamp? How long have you been in Thailand? which airport did you arrive at in Bangkok?

Thanks.

I hold Japanese passport and yes normally I can get 30 days on a visa exempt stamp when I fly in. I've been in Thailand many years now as I was working before and they also told me it's not good to have work visa and then cancelled and then being tourist. I arrived in Suvamnaphum Airport.

Hope my experieces will help some of the people like me. I worked hard and now I want to travel, but it seems it's not gonna happen so soon.

Wow. thanks for the info. just to be clear - you had a flight ticket to Japan which you showed them?

Yes, but they didn't really look into it. One lady was quite mad. They said she is an inspector. I even had bank statements too. What they needed to see was my history in my passport.
