What are the current visa exemption entry rules for Thailand and the potential risks of being denied on repeat entries?

@Jody ******

Yup..welcome to Thailand...🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣

@Lion ****************************

That's a bit of a contradiction. 😂

@Luit ****************

and still get in. Enjoy the boot polish Burl.

@John ****

or just buy proper visa, then you will not have this hassle anymore.

@Rikki *******

I think they just do their job when they stop people who do not want to buy the proper visa.

@Rikki *******

Some of the higher up ones definitely do...

@Craig *******

incorrect Craig. I know you mean well and I appreciate it but in reality you know very little but still take a bow trying to look important. It doesn't work for me but some may imagine u know what you're talking about. At the land border NO QUESTIONS ARE ASKED. I understand it's tough for you buddy. Would a diagram help you?

@Liam **********

wow Liam. Very impressed by your "reliable sauce" bollocks lol. Yes if it's an encounter at Suvarnabhumi I'd agree. But at the land crossing to Cambodia "no questions are asked". Please ask for clarification if you struggle to understand this super simple statement. Some people here find it hard to understand simple things so I try to help as far as I can.

@Liam **********

and Liam who your reliable source and hooker from Pattaya 😂😂😂😂

@Ian ********

there's an important difference between with and without a visa though: having a visa you're not supposed to be refused entry. It comes down to having been given entry permission by the respective country's MFA, which ought to have weighed in all the relevant factors available, e.g. also your entry history. Although an IO can technically refuse entry even to entrants with a visa, we must assume that they won't. Not having a visa means that whether or not you are good to enter is entirely determined by the IO, and that's where your history is then considered.

@Ar ******

quick? There's 1.5 months in between. Or what am I missing?

So there is no multiple tourist entry anymore what can people do?

@Nick ***********

I think 3. is impossible.We are still in 2024

@Damon *******

no

@Damon *******

There's nothing to reset.

@Peter ******

good company

@Pertti ************

if they wanted people to apply for tourist visas they wouldn’t have made the visa exempt the same length at the tourist visa. The whole thing is a bit silly

@Pertti ************

why would you pay the money for a tourist visa when you can get a 60 day visa exempt for free?? The problem that the majority of these people have is, they don’t want to use a border bounce company to help them out. They all think they’re different and they’ll be let in. Well, good luck with that.

@T *****

have you been ? The Chinese and Russians have already done that

@T *****

you are incredibly clueless about the overall immigration situation in Thailand

@T *****

"illegals" are not taking over. No "illegal" person can hold any position of authority/relevance/influence/power in UK. Stupid comment.

@T *****

I don’t think so people from USA uk and Canada are coming to steal jobs from Thais and use there healthcare for free and get free social security and housing do you?

@T *****

lol. Another trump fan.

@Daniel ****

have you been to cambodia? i stayed a day id never stay again and def not longer. plus they take a whole page up on your passport

@Matt *********

just say you are a Muslim from the Middle East, no problems

@Jarrad *****

yep it seems Aussie immigration are quick to get suspicious ...I did a few trips then they wanted to go thru my phone ..iPad. Wanted password checked my social media !!

@Jarrad *****

Remind me again why the prison like country is not a shit place to live...

@Sebastian *****

it appears they now do

@Kev *********

They are questioning many now , and some denying ( more than before at different airports )

@Kev *********

which airport? i only been hassled at don m.. and i was grilled but eventually let in when my gf immigration brother made a call on my behalf.

@Kev *********

me 2, they ask me why no long term visa. Then ask me to sign paper saying w

How much cash i bring to vountry

@Kev *********

likewise myself at Dmk airport in November. First crossing.

@Kev *********

how many times you been this year?

@Randy *******

it is true,it happened to my husband and I,we had 60 then got 30,we went to Myanmar to get 60 days, every thing looked good I was in front I got 60 days passport stamped my husband was next in line,and the officer looked at home and said you had 90 days you have to go,he said but you just gave my wife 60 days,and the people I don't of her also had 90 days then different officers came and he got the 60 days.,So yes people are getting denied.

@Randy *******

I read a post and the comments in the Thai Visa Advice - Q&A last night. A Moderator posted this comment that I copied & posted below:

"Thai Immigration Officers are becoming more strict on questioning those who have been in Thailand using back to back visa exempt entry plus extensions.

Over 1,000 people at BKK Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok and DMG Don Mueang airport Bangkok were denied entry in the recent week. And returned to their initial flight departure city at travelers expense.

Mostly for multiple uses of the visa exempt entry with extensions.

Suggest you use a land border crossing if you try to get a second visa exempt entry. And use an experienced border run service company to take you with same day return.

They PRE-ARRANGE your exit and reentry to get the New 60 day STAMP as Visa Exempt Entry."

@Randy *******

I was told I had to apply for an O Visa on my last entry and told that I had to leave the country for 60 days. That was in November. I am now back in the UK.

@Randy *******

I know a lot of people getting grilled on entry and Phuket and being told they won’t be allowed next time unless they have a visa

@Randy *******

doesn't sound very realistic to me 🤷

@Randy *******

I know people that were denied recently and some also denied extensions ; they are changing ways of allow tourists here !

@Roberto ********

there is no guarantee with all types of visas

@Roberto ********

wrong ! Depends on. It's correct at Bkk Suvarnabhumi yes. But visa exempt 60 day is GUARANTEED at Cambodia border crossing if an agent is used. It seems Thailand has two Immigration Authorities. Each has its own policy.
