Why was it rejected?

Yes sure, unless you are blacklisted entirely of course. You can also apply at another consulate or embassy instead, different rules everywhere.

Yeah the question cannot be properly answered without knowing this. If it was a tourist visa that was rejected, I'd be pretty worried about still flying in and trying to get in on an exempt, if it was a non-o and the proper paperwork wasn't provided, that's a different story.

Id assume so but seems you would have to go thru sandbox entry as well--down south

 

I got in on test n go in nov 2021     Ive always done visa exempy and ext yearly since 2008

 

have nver ever come here with a visa and its been 12 yrs back n forth    USA aka toxic town

Yes sandbox is another thing but that should be possible with 30 day on arrival too.

I don't know and not want to know either, I just sit and wait in Thailand until this madness ends.

The fact that you were rejected for a visa does not directly impact on whether you would receive a visa exempt entry upon arrival. However, unless you are from a country where they have unusually strict requirements for issuing visas (such as France) in most cases, the reason for rejection of your visa application might well disqualify you for a visa exempt entry also. In particular, if you spent the last two years in Thailand, only returned to home country briefly, and applied for a tourist visa, many embassies would refuse you a tourist visa. In such a case, trying to enter visa exempt might be successful but would be risky.

 

As others have posted, letting us know the type of visa you applied for, the reason for the rejection, and preferably the country of application, would make it more likely that we can give good advice.

Applying for non-O in USA and not hearing back from the embassy. Preparing for worst-case scenario where the visa gets rejected due to paperwork right before flying.

Ok bit more clear now.

You will have no problem entering visa exempt. 

What type of non O are you looking for.

How long do you wish to stay in Thailand.

Along similar lines ....just had a couple from USA arrive recently.

They always obtain SETV however something made the process longer than hoped and so they just entered visa exempt.

Last week obtained the 30 day extension.

Hopefully covid extensions will continue and they can obtain one of those.

If your after a non O based on marriage, retirement.....you can do that after you arrive. 

Has financial requirements.

Can you enter on VE and then apply for a Non O based on marraige and then subsequent extensions?
