Please note that the authority to grant entry into Thailand and to determine the length of stay in the country lies with the immigration officer. Therefore, some foreign nationals who have obtained a visa may be denied entry into the country if the immigration officer determines that the individual has characteristics or behaviors that would make him or her a prohibited person under the Immigration Act of 1979 (B.E. 2522).
