Think the embassy is closed in London grr

I applied for a 2 month tourist visa from London and it’s valid from April 10th.

if I change my flight outbound from the 10th to a sooner date (because of this stupid virus thing) can I change the dates of my visa?

i have to have a tourist visa to land in Thailand even though I’m British (long story I have a stamp saying I have to have one in my passport, it’s been approved)

second question is what’s going on with regards to the coronavirus at Bangkok airport?

cheers

Your not taking the advice given, only from other disgruntled visitors to this forum. If you look in a mirror you'll see the real reason. If you are really good at Thai and are a good salesman, you should be able to respectfully charm the officer. Watch how Thais treat a similar situation, would be a good start. Things will not improve until you change that image. Since you had a long work history and are young, it logical to assume you will be working again. You are not Thai and Thai immigration is holding all the cards. Ask the IO how you can visit you son, if that why you are trying to come. She might have a suggestion and be pleased to be asked. 

Getting a visa to see you son would make better sense, but I have no experience with that. 

You are annoying. 

I asked all the relevant questions but it fell on deaf ears. 

Yeh was held in Don Muang, forced to sign and had to pay for a flight back to KL. 

They held my passport until I landed and escorted to Malaysia immigration where I was re stamped in. 

Found my alien notice. 

Plus I forgot how nice lamb is! Grizzly meat in Asia lol its just cold here.

Sean,

Your not getting sympathy here because you come across as very entitled. Your not entitled to anything in Thailand and you need to learn a thing or two. Your anger should be directed at yourself not at the IO. Its not easy for them to screen out people like you and they probably would prefer to let it slide, but she did her job. If she were harsh its likely she was defensive from you determiner. I'd hate to run across you driving in Thailand. Chill out and get a life.

I'm not angry, show me one thing iv shared where I'm angry? 

I can't read Thai but I know the culture and I speak it pretty well with a few tonal errors here and there, iv worked in sales in Thailand selling to Thai speaking factory owners in chonburi, gemopolis near the airport so on.. 

I married my wife in the UK when I was 20, she was a student, she's from MO chit in Bkk, unfortunately when I lived there with Non o with a work permit and having a baby, 10 years into our marriage it stopped working So I took a year out, WP obviously got canceled and my non O expired and stupidly I just traveled on tourist visa. 

Do not know why I'm justifying myself, I was asking for advice not a lecture or diagnosis of my personality for using a word such as lesbian.

So how does her possible sexual orientation make it in your statement at all if it isn't supposed to mean something?

 

 

 

 

Because she was a lesbian lol! 

I took a bad exchange rate from a Jewish currency exchange shop in the Jewish quarter in Rome a few years back. 

"don't go to the Jewish area to change your money, I got ripped of by a jew down there" 

Is that wrong?

Stamp apparently says reason for rejection is financial which is not true. 

Person who translated it said they had to use that as there is no stamp probably for the reasons they gave me.

Your anger is a fault of your own doing, not immigrations.

Making assumptions and comments about a persons sexual orientation when they are doing their assigned duties, reflects on your values, biases, and intolerances.

 

I'm the least bias or intolerant towards sexuality trust me. 

Fat is fat

Gay is gay

Black is black

Cold is cold

Lesbian is Lesbian,

I didn't say dirty... Etc etc

She called her lesbian manager over who was proper rude saying "you have been too many times and you're here to see your wife right?" 

 

  A kind of rude to call people lesbian. Even if she's. Tasteless. 

 

   

Mate she was vile. 

She was short haired, gun carrying power tripi g lesbian. 

I was so polite.

You should follow the rules, get a visa and not being a visa-less long-term tourist.

First of all I know that already now. 

Second iv been on non O and non B multiple times in the last 11 years or so. 

Third I genuinely was being a tourist until I wanted to find work. 

Fourthly something must have changed as iv never experienced that behavior before, but thanks for your help. 

Hi, 

Been in Thailand on tourist visa then 30 days extend also went to Malaysia, Philippines, loas and Myanmar but always had all my <deleted> in my apartment in pathumthani, I flew to Malaysia and Philippines for holidays and short trips but land borders for Laos and Myanmar, never overstayed and I never exceeded the 2 land border trips in 12 months, iv been doing this for 10 months. 

I was starting a job after just traveling for 9 months in BKK on the 29th of August, they said they would do my WP and non B, I signed the contract etc, I needed one more stamp to tide me over for the next 30 days while they sorted all that out so I flew to Kuala Lumpa and back on the 23rd of August.

when I landed back at Don Muang in immigration I was flagged up on the system. She called her lesbian manager over who was proper rude saying "you have been too many times and you're here to see your wife right?" 

I said no, which is true, she took me back to the detention room where I was forced to sign deportation documents to fly back to KL Malaysia. 

I was devestated all my stuff is in BKK. 

So the next day I tried a land border via bus from KL to hat yai. 

I nearly got through but they wanted to know why I was stamped out of Malaysia then the next day stamped into Malaysia with no entry country stamp, it's weird. 

They rejected me. 

Back of my passport they stamped "NTL" not to land. 

I'm back In UK now. 

The lesbian officer counted how many days I had been in Thailand in one year as maximum is 180 mine equaled 256.

They also stamped not to enter Thailand as alien, only with a pre purchased visa. 

This happen to anyone else? 

I can apply for non O as my daughter is Thai?? 

Or tourist visa from Thai embassy in London or get my new employer (need a new one now) to help me sort non B before I leave to Thailand. 

I'm 32 British national. 

New passport obviously. 

Any advice appreciated 

British embassy suck, I couldn't get paid into my bank for two months cos of the whole authentication procedure, the Thai embassy even wanted my CV and references to be authenticated.

In the end I just went to Laos, 1 night job done, easy peasy, no questions, just correct documents, scan them, sign them and pay the 5k or whatever it was.

Embassies in Thailand are f****ng nightmare, I went to pathumthani immigration cos that is my district and they started asking for tenancy agreements and to speak to my landlord, i was there all day.

now if I have to ever do an extension on tourist between jobs or whatnot i just go to changwattana and lie, say i'm staying in the landmark hotel or wherever and want to travel.

So inconsistent.

Ages ago I made an appointment with British embassy on wireless road cos I lost my passport, I had no photo ID obviously and they wouldn't let me in, had to show them copies on my phone took ages to convince.

You evidently don't understand anything about Thai culture.  I pity you.

Me? I'm from the UK and I don't understand the culture there either. 

Yeh sorry that's where I live. 

I'm going to buy it! All different colors and refuse to leave my house without sporting the style! Bet IL make loads of new friends. 

And for the guys... 

Wonder if my work would let me wear that, with the sword too... 

Anyone seen women mainly dressing up in over elaborate Thai dresses? not just the odd Thai dress you might see touristy hotel staff wear but like full on medievalish Thai clothing, I asked a women on the bus yesterday and she explained (to my understanding) it's a special day/holiday to celebrate something around the 18th of this month. 

I saw it last year too but dunno the name of the day or what it's for, can't find anything on the web either. 

FYI I'm not looking to cross dress as a Thai woman, although it does sound a bit kinky. 

Any ideas? 

Well I wasn't worried before... 

Anyhow that's worst case.

Not entitled to, but it is 2 per calendar year so it reset on January 1st. So you do have the possibility of 2 between now and December 31st.

Entitled is the wrong word? 

Allowed?

Making me worried lol

Cheers guys, 

Yeah it's fine about work, I worked for about 2 months without a WP about 2 years ago cos British embassy is a pain in the scrotum, finally it all went through, I just wasn't allowed to go visit customers face to face until it was all official. 

I know it's illegal but stuff here takes so long. 

UK you just apply for temp national insurance, show your papers as student or post grad and on you go. 

Hi

Iv tried searching this for ages.. 

Arrived on tourist 30 day UK citizen, didn't do anything much for 20 days, got a job swiftly after being a bum, had to extend my tourist at changwatanna (sp?) for 1900baht 30 days whilst my non b was getting all sorted blah blah, hated the job so I quit. Found a new job and had to do a visa run to myanmar on December 26th, I'm hoping my WP and visa will be sorted before 30 days is up (25th Jan I think) But if it's not can I just go to immigration and get 30 days extra on my tourist as iv already left the country and its a brand new entry stamp from myanmar, they were fine issuing extra 30 days from my UK arrival, just said I wanted to travel more. 

Second question, 4 people were rejected back into Thailand as they had done the runs more than 2ce in a year. 

I did my first on 26th December 2018, now we're 2019, if worst case scenario happened am I entitled to 2 crossings as it's a new year or is it 12 months in your passport from first exit? I think it's calender years? 

Thanks in advance
