Btw for the follow up, I decided to try again to go through Malaysian land border, the other one that you reach with a train, but this time I had all my documents ready and printed out.

They were strict, but correct. I got inspected and asked more questions than other people, but they respected the documents and let me through.

But land borders certainly seem strickt, on airports I never had to show anything

Now my metv will runnout, so next time I am without a visa, and I have some problem. I will go to Malaysia for a few weeks, but my flight to Europe is from BKK, Suvarnabhumi. 

1. What are my chances of getting single entry tourist visa in KL or Penang? ( After 2 metv for 8months back to back with 2 months in Europe in between, and rejection stamp?). 

2. is there a better place  to get a turist visa or can I get Transit visa?

3. Can I just go without a visa and get visa exemption if I have flight on the same day out?- if they reject me, can they just put me on the flight home?

Or should I just get a new ticket.

@Christoper80 If it is your first time you should be fine imo and easier to just get metv but single entry should work. Maybe the third time do some precaution and fly in from Malaysia not from UK, also if you take a week or two off and not do just fast visa run should help as well. 

Thank you so much for all of the information! Really valuable. Still seems to me more money related, but maybe I don't understand smaller intricacies of English language.

However upon researching:

http://www.mfa.go.th/main/en/services/4908/15405-General-information.html

-12.2 having no appropriate means of living upon entering the country

And thai embassy in Moscow had this explanation for this exact act:

http://www.thaiembassy.org/moscow/en/services/79767-Thailand-Immigration-Information-regarding-adequat.html

"Q1: Is it true that tourists entering Thailand must be able to prove that they have adequate finances during the stay as currently being widely reported in local and international media?

Yes, this is true, according to the Immigration Act of Thailand B.E. 2522 (1979), foreigners who fall into any of the 11 categories are prohibited to enter Thailand. This includes “having no appropriate means of living on entering the Kingdom”. Without appropriate means of living, tourists risk becoming economic and social burdens of the host country.

In this connection, according to the Notification of the Ministry of Interior dated 8 May 2000, holders of tourist visa must be able to prove that they have adequate finances equivalent to at least 20,000 Bath per person or 40,000 Bath per family."

There is another point on having no money, which would suggest 12.2 having a different meaning, but guess not.

But seems interesting only talk was about me entering 6 times in one year and being almost 1 whole year in Thailand. Nothing about missing return ticket or money.

What would 11. point mean:
Being deported by either the Government of Thailand that of or other foreign countries; or the right of stay in the Kingdom or in foreign countries having been revoked; or having been sent out of the Kingdom by competent officials at the expense of the Government of Thailand unless the Minister shall consider exemption on an individual special case basis.

Does bolded part also mean being denied entry as I was sent out of Kingdom by competent official? So can this now be a basis of me being rejected, so no use of trying to get into the country again with a denial stamp?

Which reason did they stamp in your passport? What's your nationality?

EU. They wrote something in Thai. I saw on that paper that says act 12.2. searched a bit, apparently that is "no means to support myself" or something in that regard? I had about 40k in cash and could show them my bank accounts if they wished. I did say on many occasions I have the money, but they didn't care about it. 

They probably take as being a world traveler as no means to support yourself.

Did anyone got in successfully after having that kind of rejection stamp? Or should i just give up.

Oh they were forcing me to sign something but nobody wanted to explain me what exactly that is and it says I can appeal that decision in 48 hours. Did anyone went down that road before? How does it look like, can I do it in Thai Embassy? Or would I just be digging myself a hole

Hey!

I got denied at Malaysian land border with multi entry visa. Insta denied almost. My visa is running out and I didn't have outward ticket. They didn't ask if I have money. I have been staying in Thailand a lot last year, only was home for 2 months. It is because my fiancee (not thai) is working there. It is my second multi entry visa. I have the funds to prove I can easily afford my stay. (Tried to give brief facts about situation).

So what happened was that I went with a bus, as I heard land borders are easy. Through Sadao. I am wondering if there is any point of trying in Padang Besar as it is close by, feels a bit stupid as I just got rejected and have that void Malaysian stamp inside the passport.

Also don't want to have some stricter consequences if they see me keep trying to pass and get rejected, might get banned or not even get back to Malaysia.

As I free return ticket to Europe from BKK, do you think I can fly to BKK if I have flight home the same day? Seems that even if they reject me they can just send me on the flight?

But would like to stay with my fiancee obviously if possible, until I get other visa.

Or have some people just tried at other entry point and got in? Does somebody have experience with it?

Thank you!

P.S. the reason for rejection they said has nothing to with my valid visa but because I entered more than 6 times and stayed here so much

Was it perhaps a Scoot flight you came in on?

No, was Turkish Airlines.

Probably your flight number if it's written above the entry stamp, maybe you can check again (their handwriting can be hard to decipher).

Ah yes, with a bit of immigration, it could be that! Thx, was worried about that.

On the current METV, the safest solution is to do in/out by land (avoiding Poipet). Entering at Suvarnabhumi or Don Muang, you might be lucky but it is risky.

Thanks!

Thank you all for the replies! Really helpful to know what happens when you are turned down. Will try to come back on some other smaller airports or Chiang Mai, still plenty of towns I haven't been to anyway ????

Hey!

I was also almost denied entry on METV in Bkk. It is my second one after few months break in my country in EU. IO said I need to change visa to non 0 immigration (which I am pretty sure I can't get, I don't meet requirements) or I can get deported. That next time I will not be allowed in.

1.Above the entry stamp it was written TR0066, is that some kind of a code signifying that I rather not try to enter again?

2. If I fly in from neighbouring country when doing visa run and am denied exit, do I need to return back to that same neighbouring country, or back to my home country in Europe?

Am I just denied entry or I get some penalty/ get blacklisted?

Thank you!
