Hi, i am looking for advice re thai visas.i dont want to live in Thailand just visit three or 4 times a year. I have heard that the authorities are being more strict with travellers who visit Thailand casually like I do. Any advice would be greatly received
Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
The community suggests that casual visitors to Thailand, traveling three to four times a year, should ideally avoid overstays and border runs to prevent potential issues with immigration. It was mentioned that a tourist visa, which can be extended, is a viable option for longer stays. As long as the traveler maintains a clear intent to visit as a tourist—such as booking hotels and having a return ticket—there should be no problems with entry. However, those attempting to stay longer without proper visas may face scrutiny.
