Hello..
I have been coming to Thailand every other month for 5 years. Only using the visa exemptions. Never had a proper visa.
I do get asked question often. But always have the necessary stuff. Money, onward travel, rental agreement etc.
Should one day I be turned away. Would I have to travel to the UK to obtain a METV or SETV. Or could I fly to a neighbouring country and apply there? If so, where would you recommend, I would turn it into a short holiday.
Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has been visiting Thailand every two months for the past five years, relying solely on visa exemptions without ever applying for a proper visa. They express concern about the possibility of being turned away and inquire if they would need to return to the UK to obtain a METV or SETV, or if they could apply from a neighboring country. They also wish to know which neighboring country would be suitable for a short holiday during their visa application.
