I was in Thailand for 90 days from Nov24-Jan25 then left for 4 months. My current 90 day visit will end in a few weeks. I will be away for 2 months and hope to return mid November. I understand that there is no definite answer if I will be allowed to return, but am wondering if anyone with similar travel patterns has been turned away.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses concerns about returning to Thailand after having used two 90-day tourist visa exemptions. The user inquires about the likelihood of being denied entry based on their travel pattern. Many comments suggest that obtaining a Non-O visa may provide a more secure option for long stays, particularly if the traveler is over 50 and meets income requirements. Other commenters caution about potential scrutiny at immigration for those who have maximized their tourist visa exemptions and recommend preparing necessary documentation, like onward travel and accommodation, to increase chances of re-entry. Ultimately, while the user expresses a desire to return under the current visa rules, the sentiment in the comments indicates that it may be wise to consider applying for a proper visa to avoid complications.
