You will not get a visa that allows you to stay for 9 months. You will be getting a single entry non-ed visa that allows a stay of 90 days and then you apply for a 90 day extensions of it at immigration.

They are probably saying it cannot be done in Kuala Lumpur is due them wanting a police clearance to apply for it.

If it is your first ED visa Vientiane or Savannakhet Laos would be good. Or the consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Penang would also be a good choice.

Most of the ones you mentioned could be a problem.

It is also the Hanoi embassy a good option for my first ED visa or only the Ho Chi Minh consulate? I have already a flight to Hanoi so it would be nice to know if the chances are the same.

Thank you

Thank you very much for your replies.

After read all your comments im considering two options.I will take my flight to Hanoi and then:

a) Get a thai visa there and take a flight to Chiang Mai

b) Get a thai visa,take a flight to Kuala Lumpur or Vientiane and cross the border at Padang Besar or Friendship Bridge

In my case i would prefer to take a flight because it is faster.

About the money i had yesterday at DMK airport 30.000 bath in my pocket,my flight confirmation to Hanoi,hotel etc ... but they never asked me to show them my proofs.

Hi everybody.

Im very worried about what happened today at Don Mueang airport as i came back from a 15 days trip to Japan and was asked a lot of questions.

I had a new passport in January 2018 at my country (Spain) and got a tourist thai visa, then i arrived to Thailand in february. After that i have travelled to some countries in these months as Japan,China,Indonesia or Malaysia. I didnt get a new tourist visa in any of those places and spent around 15 days in every of them, then after every trip a re entered Thailand with the 30 days visa exemption. This time was my 6th time that i entered Thailand without tourist visa(maybe it was the reason of the problem).

Well,today then when i showed my passport at immigration the man who checked it called another woman and she told me that i had to follow her to the office.

She started to make me a lot of questions that i answered and she said that i was living in Thailand and told me many times that i have to go back to my country now.

I couldnt see the point of this as i never made an overstay or broke any rule during my time here. I was asked where im going next time and i said Hanoi, and asked again after Hanoi and i said i dont know,i will see,but at least i already have a flight ticket to Hanoi at the end of this month.

Then she called another man who came and explained me that i had have been stay in Thailand 183 days already this year and i could not stay more and he decided to give me 14 days to leave the country,but i told him that i have a flight to Hanoi and finally gave me 30 days.

They wrote many notes on their computer and even on the pages that they printed where it shown how many times i entered to thailand and how many days i had spend.

Also in my departure card(TM6) they wrote in thai language that i have stayed 183 days here and dont have any plans after Hanoi to come back my country and i should get a Non B visa next time to enter.

I planned to come back to Thailand in November with a tourist visa but now im not sure what should i do.

Should i continue with my plan? Or come back to my country and get a new passport? Or enter at a different city or airport ?

If anyone have any tip or idea about this issue i will be greateful.
