What should I know about being questioned at Thailand's airport regarding my visa and stay duration?
Hi, just a heads up. My friend was questioned at the airport (BKK) today when he arrived.
Taken to a separate room, asked why he is in Thailand so much and what his job is etc. He has a DTV and his travel history is stays around 5 months per visit, then 1 month back home.
He has been coming and going since june 2025, and this was his 3rd entry afaik.
And before you start with the anonymous post complaints, yeah... I don't want to expose my profile in a group with a bunch of people who get upset for nothing.
Sure, he got let in. But I would not enjoy the experience myself. Now I am preparing for the same when I arrive in September.
