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

Summary so far

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.
