What happens if you receive a System Alert at Thai immigration after frequent visa exempt entries?

Minimize the risk mate. have 20k baht in your bag, have forward tickets, have a solid address, and if possible some sort of proof of address or booking.....I hear some people take a rental contract.....but I am not sure that is a good idea for a 30 day stamp......as why would you have one on a 30 day stamp......As said people do it for years......and you are SUPPOSED to be able to do it with no restrictions.....but if you get some snotty IO who is having a bad day, they make make trouble for you for sure.......Also avoid the females in immigration (my experience).....in the long run and to avoid being nervous when you arrive, aim for a visa wherever possible.........You are youngish like me and long term visas are NOT easy to come by............if you are cashed up you could consider the 5 year 500k Elite visa, but that is a lot of cash at one time.

Out of interest where do you work?

These are the reasons people get denied entry to the country. They are the ONLY reasons to be denied entry by air. (Land crossings have that TWO 30 day visa exempt entries in a year rule)

If your pulled up on arrival, do they let you enter and say get a visa next time, or do they deny you on the spot?

Better safe than sorry mt.

I'd agree with

@Liam ****

, perhaps look into getting a 6 month METV from the thai consulate in Canada. That visa gives unlimited 60 day entries for the validity of it (6 months from the date it's issued)

OR if you're over 50 or married to a thai you could look into getting one of those visas

I know people who work in the oil industry and they work 28 on 28 off and have been comin' here that way for years and years. Some were caught out and questioned, told to get a visa, that they were in the system and wouldn't get into the country again, BUT they didn't get a visa and were stamped in the next time without a problem. Some of the people DID get visas though.

They're just stonewalling you. Despite what they say there is NO official rule that limits the number of 30 day visa exempt entries you can get OR that limits the amount of time you can spend in thailand during a specific time frame.

The system "flags" passports after a number of visa exempt entries. It does NOT factor in how long you have been out of the country between entries and it only flags after a certain number.

You might want to think about getting a Multi Entry Tourist Visa if you come regularly. With this you're good for unlimited entries

Hi work in The Uk travel back here every 3 weeks had to get a visa ,,so have other guys I know ,,,

I have been rotating for a good few years. Been on many a 30 day stamp. I did have the occasional tourist visa when off work.....There is no real formula for when you will get stopped or not. You could get a warning this time and then come in next time with no issues at all. Really though with such a regular rotation in and out of Thailand we are not tourists, so a long term visa option should be considered. You look too young for a retirement visa right...?
