Hi Group,

I have a French passport.

For 2018, before being back to Thailand in a week, I will have spent (out of 10.5 months): 2x 60 days based on "air" visa exemption + extented, 1 x 60 day based on land visa exemption (+ extension) from Phu Nam Ron, 90 days based on a SETV from Vientiane + extension (with 20 days in Europe in the middle).

I have left Thailand Sept 25 and will be back on Nov 17 where I will enter at Suvarnabumi.

I am seeking a new visa exemption that I don't intend on extending

I will have 20 K THB in cash with me

I can show my onward booking back to Europe 29 days later on my phone

I will stay at my GF's rented house in Bangkok. She has the Tabien Baan but not under her name: how can I meet the 3rd requirement with that? Do I really need it or can I just mention the actual house address on the imigration card?

I did find this from Tod but not sure what to make of it

Quoting Tod (oct 22): "One more time, let this be a warning to people who have extensive entry histories to thailand on either visa exempt or tourist visas BE PREPARED to meet the 3-proof-ofz, or at least the proof of funds (20K baht or the equivalent in CASH) when you're flying into the country using Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang."

Cheers
Summary so far
A French passport holder outlines their travel history to Thailand, mentioning various visa exemptions and extensions over a 10.5-month period, and queries about meeting entry requirements when returning. They specifically seek advice on proving accommodation since their girlfriend's house is not under her name, and express concern over the strict documentation needed for immigration due to their extensive travel history.

no one can tell the mood of the officer you get when you stamp into the country.

Have your proof of funds, proof of onward travel and proof of where you're staying and hope you don't get a cranky officer when you stamp in
