What should I know about immigration procedures upon arrival in Thailand?
Just arrived at Suvarnabhumi - short lines through immigration. I had a couple of short one week stays in 2025 and then one visa exempt 60 + 30 stay. IO asked to see proof of my flight out before the end of this 60 day visa-exempt visit. Provided and sent on my merry way.

Same here my third visa exempt this year just arrived 2 hours ago! Normal queues for time of year. 15 min wait 20 tops. IO asked for nothing just stamped me in. I had return flight in 60 days and hotel accommodation booking but no questions happy days.
