Just Landed in BKK ~ On my 8th trip this year . No visa Run - Stays vary between 7-14 days each trip !

Asked to show my bank account ( App ) , What I do for work ( Pilot - Crew ) . End of story !

I was sent my way .

Ps: I think , itโ€™s only a red flag if you have Multiple visa runs & staying close to your exemption timeline .

Happy Hollidays All ๐Ÿ˜ต

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user shares their experience of entering Thailand without a visa for the eighth time this year, mentioning a brief stay of 7-14 days per visit. They were asked to show their bank account details and their occupation as a pilot, which led to no issues at entry. They note that having multiple visa runs close to the exemption limit could raise red flags, contrary to the situation experienced by the user, which seems to indicate that the scrutiny is applied selectively, especially for frequent travelers.

7-14 days is of course no problem. They want to catch people that live and work illegally lol.

This group is about thai visa. What you're talking about is visa exempt and sounds like bragging and doesn't really belong here.
