Is it okay to re-enter Thailand on the same day after a 6-month entry stamp?

MagentaAvocado6089 Thats exactly what i needed to hear mate thanks. So people on the DTV have had issues reentering. Il get an overnight stay i think

@Paul ******

i think it will be tied in with the monitoring and enforcement of foreign income taxes and declaration of the same. Since each rentry 6 month period would usually mean youve spent at least 6 months that year in thailand which makes you a tax resident as per recent legislation. But you never know with thailand, things change quickly and massively sometimes.

@Benjamin ********

In that case im inclined to agree with you there. Thailand is not a country you should choose to live in if you can't afford to spend 2 nights in a hotel in a neighbouring country. I apologise for assuming you were accusing me of the same. all the best

@Benjamin ********

How the hell did so many people take this post as having anything to do with the cost of staying elsewhere? Are people really that limited IQ wise? lol Your in a DTV group where everyone had to prove 500k baht+ & stable income in finances to get the visa I think your confusing this with the 60 day exemption group or something.

This is literally my company I am not some hippie trying to survive on border runs lol 🤣

@Benjamin ********

I'm assuming you hallucinated me saying I couldn't afford to stay there Ben & possibly ignored everything else ive said lol. is what it is

@Benjamin ********

and yes i agree Ben. Thailand is the last county I would recommend unless one has an external remote income and and substantial savings. Anyone without that is better off in Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia or another neighbouring country. I'm just sick of being lectured with the obvious by miserable retirees who in my experience contribute far less than us expats with western businesses overseas. Yet we don't sit here late at night taking the moral high ground on social media to feel validated here giving zero useful answers that are relevant to the Facebook group their talking in.

@John ********

and how would you define a cheap Charlie? I spend way more in this country than most the people I've met out here, I regularly donate to charities and I support at least 2 families in lopburi. Stop making assumptions just because someone wants to return the same day on their multiple entry 5 year validation visa. I have lived in Thailand for many years and speak fluent Thai I don't get where your coming from here with the cheap Charlie comment. It is a simple question relating to the clause surrounding reentries on the Dtv visa which is exactly what this group is dedicated to along with the applications. Stop being ridiculous

Your both right. yes it should be a standard that all sections & staff of the immigration authority follow...but like with every profession in life (police officers as an example) their required to use a level of discretion and suspicion if they think your abusing the process. You should always take an overkill amount of detail to the airport, recent tm30 docs, the required cash amount (as some wont accept looking at your phone bank app), correct visa or otherwise return/out flight evidence & if your on a visa, as much evidence of that and how you got it as possible. That way your not relying on someones paranoia (or lack of) when you enter the country again.

Then we have the unspoken reality...Thailand is in the middle of a purge/crackdown on pisstakers so immigration will have been given instructions to use more scrutiny until thats over. I wouldnt be asking for other peoples experiences of same day re-entry on the dtv if this wasnt the case as i think it would be 1000% fine with the dtv in normal circumstances.
