I'm from EU and can only get vacination certificate which says dose 2/2. Government portal doesn't give out the first dose certificate (as it is useless info).

Did anyone have/solve this problem?

How long have you been out of Thailand?

I've been out for 1.5 years now and I was planning to go to Phuket sandbox. Perhaps I'll just get a normal 60 day visa. Denial of entry is probably not fun when the nearby countries are closed.

On arrival I had 2 Immigration officers trawl through my history on their pc for what seemed like an eternity. Asked me for a contact number of someone in Thailand.  

Thank you for sharing. Did you provide them with a number? Was that in Phuket, BKK used to be strict, I hoped Phuket would be more easy going.

The real question is why do you think you were 'almost' denied entry on a METV ?

Io didn't like my history, said "no", sent me to another desk where another io told me I'm not a tourist and need another type of visa. Then I got 30 days visa-exempt entrance instead of METV entrance.

In pre-covid times you could get in trouble if you overused tourist visas and could face questioning / denial of entry.

How are experiences now, did anybody face any problems?

I'm asking because I'm thinking about STV visa, but have almost been denied entry on METV pre-covid.

Normal tourist visa extensions are still at CW, while covid extensions are at new location. Correct?

Is there a law or some reference to official statements?

Here is the reference:

In the case of necessity, with certification or request made by an embassy or consulate :

Application form TM. 7 (application must be made in person)

Only in the case of training, the applicant must have been granted a work permit.

You need a letter from your embassy requesting it.

Has anyone done this successfuly? Is there a law or some reference to official statements?

I don't wan't to be rude, just a bit cautious because of the serious matter.
