swampdonkey Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 What are you talking about An education visa or a tourist visa ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyjim5 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 It was obtained from the Thai immigration office, and renewed twice. I'm studying in assumption uni. OK the only reason I asked is that Ed visas are normally obtained outside Thailand with paperwork supplied by the school/university. In which case I have no idea why you were refused a tourist visa. Just a a matter of interest how did you enter Thailand prior to obtaining the Ed visa ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 When a visa is stamped "void without prejudice" it usually means that examination of your visa history showed up something fishy. Did you use an agent to arrange your ED visa inside Thailand? If so, it is possible that there were some shenanigans, and your ED visa was not done according to the rules. This would be enough for many embassies to refuse you a new valid visa, though an appeal to the senior consular official explaining clearly what happened might get the decision reversed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maestro Posted February 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) I got my previous visa from bkk. I studied there for 2 years. Last month I came to my country and applied for tourist visa. I searched for it on Google Maps but found no country called My Country. If you can point to the location on the map I will talk about it to a Google software engineer working in the Maps department next time I will meet one. I have an appointment with one in Milan on 12 March. P.S. Mystery solved. I see in another topic you started that you applied for a tourist visa in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Maestro Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 "VL" is not a known abbreviation or code used by Thai consulates. "void" means cancelled, rendered invalid. "without prejudice" means without any negative effect on you. From what you have written it appears that you applied for a tourist visa at the Thai embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh, the consular section of the embassy put the visa into your passport, then they realised that they made a mistake and cancelled the visa with the stamp "void without prejudice". Only the consular section of this embassy can explain to you why your application for a tourist visa was not approved. Go and ask them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also interesting to note that Bangladeshi citizens are listed among those who must obtain visas from within their own country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
