ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi All,

After reading some earlier posts I am a concerned about my plan to depart Thailand and re-enter 24hrs later and being denied entry. I have been in Thailand since Feb 8 2022 on a TR 60 day visa and will depart Thailand on April 7. I have an urgent matter to deal with in Korea but would like to come straight back to Thailand and finish out my holiday. I was planning just to do an visa extension on my TR visa but now I need to get to Korea and come back on a Visa exempetion. I will have a departure ticket, 20,000baht cash and booked accomdations ready upon arrival for Thailand immigration. I was just currious if I will run into possible denied entry issues re-entering Thailand on Visa exemption? Thanks

Enough suggestions. I always like the advice based on I never heard, which is total nonsense as it might happens regular only you did not pay any attention to it.

Safe travels.

Maybe you can try getting an extension on your visa and then leaving with a re-entry permit.

Also, if you want to be super safe just fly into Phuket or Chaing mai - I haven’t heard of people being denied there

You may want to double check that you have sufficient/correct insurance.

I think most of the stories of denied entry are people who creamed the covid extension as you haven't probably okay

I let you know after I polished my crystal ball.

But on a more serieus note, more people getting into Thailand than being denied entry.
