I am surprised that you are surprised by the IO's actions.

 

 

The first principle of entry requirements is that you have the visa that is appropriate to your circumstances. VE or TV are not suitable for someone living in Thailand or making regular visits to see their Thai wife.

As explained, I am working in a country where I am not eligible to get a Thai visa and as it seemed to be common knowledge that VE's were unlimited, I think I made a reasonable choice. I get leave on a monthly basis so visiting my wife is the obvious thing to do with it. Even if I wasn't married surely just holiday trips should have been fine too. I have visited several other countries in the region very regularly with no issues at all.

You are a classic oil industry visitor to Thailand - one month on, one month off..

 

The point is that, in these circumstances, you are married to a Thai and your homed is in Thailand; the appropriate visa/extension for you is one based on marriage.

Yes I do.

 

 

I believe in following protocols; anything else is flimsy and could fail at anytime.......just get the right visa!
