ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi there,

I was a Long time in Thailand and did covidextensions. Then went 30days to Vietnam, back to Thailand for 40days and now again back in Vietnam. I want to go back again to Thailand if it’s possible. I am from Switzerland.

I can’t find any proper information on what rules apply for me. Am I allowed to go back to Thailand again or not? If not, is there a certain time I have to wait until I could go back? I wanna do it the right, legal way. I don’t wanna have a 7day stamp in my passport which says I can’t enter. Does anyone have reliable information in that case?

TLDR : Answer Summary

An expat from Switzerland inquires about their ability to re-enter Thailand after having used COVID extensions and traveling between Vietnam and Thailand multiple times. They seek reliable information on any potential entry restrictions or required waiting periods to ensure they do not receive a stamp denying them entry.

You are asking a question no one in the group can answer. There is no written rule to prohibit you to enter Thailand because of Covid extensions. But all approval on entry is at the discretion of the officer.

IF he doubts you as a tourist, he would pull you aside and throw you questions.

I am going to allow this post... Although we don't allow posts which are a fishing expedition for a Thai Visa or Way to Enter Thailand...

The Expat has asked three times.. and this time I will reply publicly.

It's clear that you have created your OWN Thai Immigration problem with your living in Thailand with your use of many various visas and COVID extensions during COVID-19.

And in Phuket recently you were warned.... But lucky for you, were allowed entry into Thailand

Now you're in Vietnam and in a panic mode as you fear denied entry into Thailand upon arrival into Phuket by air from Vietnam in early February.
