Lovethailandelite Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 3 minutes ago, paul18620 said: if like today 5 people have used 1 of there chances up today as when they got refused they had no option but cross by land and get 30 day exempt visas. So the only option is to make sure you have all the correct paperwork ,or go to another easy Thai Consulate to get your SETV. Fact is you could still be refused entry in to Thailand, sent back to Laos and made to fly out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but do you really think it is hard for them to find a problem not to let you back if they choose not too?

That's before they really get started. As I have said, just be prepared for grief at land borders after a visa refusal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no rules to the amount of Tourist visas that you can have, so they cannot use that as grounds for refusal . A mere suspicion of working illegally also isnt grounds for a visa refusal . As long as you provide all the documents that they ask for, they cannot refuse to give you a visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essecola Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Just now, alocacoc said: http://www.easybook.com/en-my/bus/booking/thailand-to-kualalumpur But, it seems too cheap. About 470 Baht. Departure from Hat Yay. If you can prebook a flight from bkk to kl or penang it could save a world of discomfort being on that bus for so many hours. Cost is not very much more for the headaches avoided. Bus from KL to Penang once inside Malaysia is a lot easier than the long ride thru south thailand. Prebooked flights to KL from bkk can be 1200 baht or so if lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alocacoc Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Would be an Flight Booking confirmation enough? There are enough travel agencies were issue such a confirmation with the option to cancel it within a specific period of time. I used that to apply a METV in my home country.

Here is another one which bare in mind, don't effect me but effects people I know. What is the definition of a 'Round trip ticket'? In the travel world for instance that would be as an example, you start your journey in the UK or say New York on an American or UK Passport to Thailand a round trip ticket then takes you back to where you came from, not on a bus to Malaysia unless of course you then have an onward flight from there. Maybe the definition of this 'Round trip ticket' needs to be clarified if they are intent on pressing this home?....Interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
