Can I enter Thailand again on visa-exempt status after multiple entries and extensions?

@Dimitri *******

did you have a history of staying in Thailand prior to those 5 months? Were they back to back?

History matters as well. She's only been in twice, it doesn't state the day she left, so seeing they weren't border runs, it's probable/possible it's not the day her visa expired. Returning home for 1+ month each time is seen as a positive. I'd be willing to bet the absolute worst that would happen to her would be the officer telling her to get a long term visa next time.

I stayed in the country that year for 5 months and tried to get in again on a VE.

@Dimitri *******

on the visit before or after 6 months?

@Alistair *********

of course they know she will extend if she did that every time before. I crossed the same unofficial 6 month limit and was taken to the back to a very serious looking immigration officier.

@Dimitri *******

there isn't a 6 month law tho, it's a guide that some (or many?) IO use. They also don't know she will extend. Of the many who state they encounter issues online, it's after 6 months staying here, not the entry before. I encountered it on my next entry which was after 7.5 months here

@Dimitri *******

not untypical I think. Someone asks you questions, does nothing and lets you in. Happens all the time. In your case though, he can obviously see your situation ñ and is likely looking for you to have a marriage visa.

@Dimitri *******

no, i come about 6 times a year on visa exempt.

@Dimitri *******

i know people here for years on VE or 60 day tourist visas. There are likely many on this forum

You are staying for 7 months a year on VE's ?
