It's all going to depend on your prior history in Thailand going back a year or more. If no history prior to your January trip you should be OK

It all depends on your history before your January entry

Suis arrivé 5 mois en Thaïlande et 4 fois fois depuis la France sans avoir fait de prolongation 2 fois 2 mois et 3 fois 1 mois.. mais ils m'ont laissé passer mais m'ont emmener 6 mn en salle d'attente pour vérifier mon passeport et finalement mon laisser entré mais ça devient très chaud
Ils m'ont dit de prendre un visa la prochaine fois et pour rien arranger je suis en dépassement dans une semaine car. Avion annulé et pas encore trouvé un vol

In the last 13 months I’ve entered Thailand 7 times no visa.
I have also been to Malaysia and Vietnam in that time so if your a genuine tourist like me don’t worry about it.

Lee Harris depends how often he stays. Over the last 12 months I've entered about 10 times, probably accumulated a max of 40 days over those trips. Clear and obvious pattern that I'm not trying to live in Thailand on visa exemptions.

Darren Grist try and tell a grumpy immigration officer that it's 'clear and obvious"....

ORIGINAL POSTERKarl Keyte sorry should of said from the uk

Robert Rowlett Then standard visa waiver will be no issue at all. You don't need to do anything, other than complete the usual TDAC before arrival
Brendan *******
Why not get a TR visa back in the uk no issue then

The fact you are asking, tells you what you already know. Nobody can tell you. One person may say visa exempt, 60 days, is ok three times a year, and this WAS the case. The fact that you stayed 5 weeks and then come again in april, might not be an issue. Some in immigration may view it differently… take the risk? Why not just buy a visa?

Lee Harris Which visa would you recommend?

Ralph Tyson i dont know. I am married to a Thai. I have a marriage visa
