Should I use a safe entry service for my third entry into Thailand in three months?

Question

Hello,

I will be doing a third entry in Thailand in about 3 months this in total, would you recommend getting a safe entry service?

I’ve seen posts of people being rejected all the time here with visa exemptions.

Here is my recent travel history:
 • First entry into Thailand: June 5th to July 16th (total: 42 days)
 • Trip to Indonesia: July 16th to July 23rd
 • Second entry into Thailand: July 23rd to August 13th (total: 21 days)
 • Now traveling to the Philippines: August 13th to August 30th

I plan to return to Thailand on August 30th and stay for another 60+30 days, but I’m concerned because it would be my third entry in under three months, even though the total time spent in Thailand is around 63 days.

Thanks!

I also think y'r okay. I mean this is what a 'normal tourist' would/can do. On top of that you did not ask for a 30 day extension so far. Be sure you have the 3 proofs. (20k฿ or equivalent in cash, place to stay and onwards travel outside Thailand).

No one can say for sure as it’s up to the specific immigration officer you hand your passport to.

Your previous entries don’t seem to show an issue that “you could be working here illegally” - which is the red flag that catches many, but 3 times in 3 months is anyone’s guess.

My guess (and it is just that) is that if you have an officer having a bad hair day they may pull you aside and question you but there’s not enough history to really warrant a denial and they may well caution you to get a visa for your next visit.

Reality is you may have an officer that doesn’t give a toss and will stamp you in, or your may get an officer who’s past having a bad hair day and in full meltdown mode and deny you.

Chances of the latter are slim, but a safe entry service would mitigate that.

If I were in your shoes I’d let it fly and see what comes up. But that’s just my opinion. If you’re worried go for the service and don’t fret about entry.

Alternatively apply for a DTV through Manila while you’re there and have a 5 year multiple entry visa. Obviously conditions apply.
