It's not expelling you. The form i signed was a TM35 ti had that language on it. I read closely because she was not at the desk for a long while and as i was confused as to what was happeneing i read it closely. It maybe nothing. I do not know the exact effect of it on my immigration status. I have identified the stamp and figuring things out, somewhat. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nonsense. Some use it to max out time spent in Thailand. No rule preventing that. By way of example the 60 day stamp per entry can be extended by 30 days. 1900b Exactly. I have used it to stay 9 months. Near the end of your six month visa date the key is to enter Thailand before it expires, then you get 60 days...plus a 30 day extension. Again, sorry if I misunderstood what the OP was asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know the exact effect of it on my immigration status. The TM35 form appears to be a written notification to you that you have been refused entry into Thailand. The authority of the official to issue the TM35 form comes under Section 22 of the Immigration Act 1979. The refusal of entry comes after the official determines that a foreigner falls under a certain category of person that should be excluded from entering the Kingdom under the provisions of Section 12 of the Immigration Act 1979. The following link is a PDF file that has 11 different categories of people who might be excluded. Decide for yourself which one they likely chose for you. ???? [Section 12, pages 6 and 7.... Section 22, pages 11 and 12.] http://web.krisdika.go.th/data/outsitedata/outsite21/file/Immigration_Act_B.E._2522.pdf See also page 3 of this document (in Thai). https://phangngaimmigration.go.th/assets/uploads/file-5.pdf .

Popular Post BritTim Posted May 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2023 You were denied entry under the provisions of the Thai Immigration Act Section 12. At other land crossings, you would almost certainly have been allowed to enter visa exempt, though the two short overstays might have made them think about it. At Poipet, a denied entry was likely as soon as they had any kind of excuse for doing so. You need to enter Thailand by air. It would be better if you got a visa first, but the Phnom Penh embassy would probably deny an application for a tourist visa. Consider flying to Chiang Mai for a visa exempt entry where the officials have historically been more forgiving in cases like yours than the officials at the two Bangkok airports. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case it is, I think, all the more important that he has at least 20,000 THB (or equivalent value in other currencies) cash on him when he next seeks to enter Thailand. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dome Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Unfortunately, by being confused about what the May 12 date really meant and arguing about it, you got on the agent's bad side and she refused you the simple visa exempt 30 day option. Just get a plane ticket & fly in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AustinRacing Posted May 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2023 It also comes down to your attitude when dealing face to face with them. Your original post comes across as slightly arrogant, know it all, looking down on them (IQ10?). You clearly pissed them off and subsequently they threw the book at you.

I use the word expelled and expulsion because it was what is mentioned on the form i had to sign before they did it. I believe it was a TM 35 but searching doesnt provide any info on the form. <<<< Downloadable attachment containing personal information has been edited out >>>> Maybe the poster does understand the VISA has a validity. Say for example the visa is obtained outside of Thai land then the person must use the visa within the validity period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post billd766 Posted May 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2023 Something that always amazes me is the so many people hang on to the last moment to get an extension, and then complain about Thai Immigration.

Russell17au Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 The simple fact of the matter is that you tried to enter Thailand with an expired visa and you would be denied entry to any other country in the world if you tried to do the same thing. At a guess I would say you just went up to the IO's window and shoved your passport at her and expected to just get another stamp to get into the country. She has seen your expired visa plus your 2 overstays on that same short period visa and said to herself "here is another idiot falang who does not have respect for our immigration laws and is trying to enter the country illegally, but he is not getting in this time" She told you to fly in and the reason for that is at the airports they have holding cells to detain you in till they send you back to your home country. There is 3 breaches to Thailands immigration laws in less than 12 months. 2 Overstays plus 1 attempt to enter the country on an expired visa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bday Prang Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 22 hours ago, terryq said: A multi entry tourist visa is not designed for people who want to live in Thailand continuously. It is designed for tourists who want use Thailand as their base whilst travelling around SE Asia or even beyond. Possible itinerary could be week in Thailand ,few days in Cambodia then return to Thailand for a while then off to Singapore for some days . back to Thailand then on to ....you get the picture. It works great for that. it also works "great" for back to back stays of upto 90 days How could you possibly know what it is designed for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bday Prang Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 22 hours ago, Upnotover said: There does appear to be a fundamental misunderstanding by at least one person of the purpose of a multi entry tourist visa. It is to allow a tourist to base themselves in Thailand and make multiple trips out/back to other countries as part of their holiday. Those trips may be several days or weeks and the in between time in Thailand the same. It is not intended to be used to stay as long as possible in Thailand before having to leave and return on a new entry, there are other visas/extensions far better suited to that. From what I have read there are two people on here with a fundamental misunderstanding of ME tourist visas and you are one of them People like the OP are confused enough already without people like you inventing your own regulations. Why would you even do that ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had no idea how his multi-entry tourist visa worked and he did 2 entries with 2 overstays. He was then denied his 3rd entry to Thailand (not expelled) when he tried to enter for 60 days on his expired visa because he thought it was a "triple entry visa" (while also stating the IO had an IQ less than 10 because she couldn't understand his visa) Edited May 20, 2023 by Pattaya57 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimn Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I gave up reading after you quoted "triple entry tourist visa". These ended years ago. Get your terminolgy correct and state what visa you actually have and I am sure people will help you.
