Hi,
In mid-June, I entered Thailand by air from home on a 30-day visa-exempt stamp, stayed 5 days and flew to another country where I stayed about 3 weeks.
I re-entered Thailand by land on a 30-day exemption stamp and had to renew my passport once back in Bangkok because it got damaged. As soon as I get my new passport, I'm planning on flying out of Thailand for 2 or 3weeks, and come back in for a bit (2 weeks) before flying home for good.
A few questions:
1. Could I be denied entry to Thailand if I fly in for the 2nd time (for now I've come in once by air and once by land in a 3-week time span)?
2. Do I have to transfer my exemption stamp at immigration if I'm flying out anyway or can I just show up at the airport with my two passports? Keep in mind I'll have to come back to Thailand before flying home.
3. If I need to go to immigration for an exemption-stamp transfer, what do I need to bring except my 2 passports? Do I need a TM30? Is it at Laksi or CW?
It's so confusing! Thank you for your help
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on entry to Thailand after multiple visa-exempt entries, the need to transfer immigration stamps due to a damaged passport, and documentation required for immigration processes. Comments indicate that entry should generally not be a problem as long as the user has not overstayed their visa exemptions. Recommendations include showing both the damaged and new passport when leaving and confirming the need for a TM30 when applying for extensions.
