ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello guys. I have already been to Thailand 3 times by single entry tourist visa in this calendar year.  Currently I am planning to go to Thailand for a short holiday at the middle of December.(last entry scheduled at the middle of November)  This time I would like to try visa on arrival (Thai E-visa) as I just stay for one more week.  Would that be a problem at immigration checkpoint?  What I concern is if entering Thailand 4 times in single calendar year would cause any issue from Immigration officer? 

Chinese passport.  

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about entering Thailand for the fourth time in the same calendar year using a Visa on Arrival. Comments suggest that while it may depend on the immigration officer, having the required documents such as proof of funds, onward travel, and a good attitude should help avoid issues at the checkpoint. Experiences shared indicate that as long as the intent of travel is clear and the user complies with entry requirements, entering multiple times is generally not a problem.

other than being asked for proof of funds, proof of onward travel and proof of lodging, I think you should be okay entering on a 15 day visa on arrival AND you can apply for it online here:

I am providing my input just now at BKK miracle lounge. It was the fourth time I have been in Thailand this year. Each time no questions asked, I mean, NONE. I guess it is not depending on how often you come to Thailand, it depends on the intentions of your travels. I have never been staying in Thailand more than a month each time. So they figure that I am a true tourist and using my visa exempt responsively.

Just how long will you be in Thailand this time? Only one week?

Will you already have a return ticket out of Thailand in a week from when you arrive?

If you do...and can show it to the Immigration Officer...with booking address and 20,000 Thai baht in CASH or its equal...you may be allowed to enter.

With this being your fourth entry this year...be prepared to be questioned.

Good luck.

It was finally certified at my home country. I strongly recommend foreigners who do it in his home country as he might have hassle from immigration side.
