HELP - Slightly anxious about entry in November, am I overthinking?
Hi everyone! I know this topic comes up quite often, but I'd really appreciate some honest feedback, especially from people who have entered Thailand recently. I tend to overthink things, so I’d really appreciate some honest opinions.
I'm 20 years old, Italian, and live in Italy. I've always visited Thailand for tourism using the 60-day visa exemption. I will be back in Thailand in November for 55 days on a SETV.
Here is my previous travel history (all under Visa Exemption scheme), including even the older trips for full transparency:
• Dec 2024 for 22 days (11 of those in 2025). Returned to Italy.
• April 2025 for 13 days. Returned to Italy.
• June – Aug 2025 for 56 days in Thailand. After that, I did an 8-day trip to Malaysia (Penang)
• Then re-entered Thailand again on visa exemption for 19 days only and left on 15 September 2025. I stayed longer than usual here because I had holidays transitioning from high school to university.
After exiting Thailand on 15 September, I spent almost 8 months outside Thailand, back home in Italy as I had to study and work.
• May – July 2026 for 54 days. Returned to Italy.
Before my upcoming trip in November, I'll have spent 4 months and 20 days in Italy since my last departure. This time, I will come back with a SETV approved in Italy.
I will stay exactly 55 days, exiting the kingdom and returning to Italy in January 2027.
For a smoother understanding, as of my planned arrival on November 2026:
• Previous 12 months (rolling year): 54 days spent in Thailand.
• Previous 18 months (rolling year): 129 days spent in Thailand.
I've never overstayed, been questioned about my travel history, received an immigration warning, or experienced any issues entering Thailand, not even when returning from Malaysia.
The purpose of my trip is 100% tourism. I'm planning a relaxing holiday, travelling around different parts of Thailand and exploring the country.
I'll also have the usual supporting documents ready:
• Confirmed and paid return flight to Italy.
• Hotel booking for my first 7 nights in Bangkok.
• 20,000+ THB in cash as proof of sufficient funds.
• Printed Word document of intended visits in Bangkok and main areas
Looking at my travel history, how risky do you think my next entry will be?
Would you expect additional questioning, or do you think my long recent breaks back in Italy make my situation relatively straightforward?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post! Wish an amazing day / night to everyone ❤🙏
