TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is looking for advice on what visa to obtain for frequent travel to Thailand, spending three weeks there every three weeks from Australia. The responses outline various options, including the Visa Exemption rule, the NON-O visa for those over 50 or married to a Thai, and the suggestion that frequent travelers may not need a visa if they are compliant with entry rules. Some users share personal experiences of successfully navigating frequent entries without issues.

I'm on a 4 week rotation. 4wks in Thailand tgen 4wks out. I've been doing this now for 3 years, so 5-6 visa exemptions (I'm from the UK) per year.
The last 2 times I've entered Thailand have been horrendous! My last entry was on tge 31st of December and I genuinely thought I was going to get turned away. I took my nearly 30 mins of answer questions, and having to deal with 2 supervisors, before they finally let me in.
Exemption is ok for a while, but doing it regularly won't last forever.
I'm now trying to come up with a suitable plan for myself.

No changes to visas. Though visa EXEMPT is 60 days for many countries. Just a bit more scrutiny on people entering who try to live in Thailand without visas.

can not get a DTV for physically working in Australia. Needs to be doing remote work or medical or a gymShayne **********
AtrustworthyJaguar DTV soft power is the perfect option. Learn Muay Thai and it's easy if you have 500k in the bank.

Ian Taylor The fact that you're never applying for extensions or doing border bounces is in your favour. It's obvious you're not trying to live in Thailand on free entries. My suggestion is to continue the way you're going. If at some stage an immigration officer gets a bit narky, then we'll take another look. Generally you'll get a "Get a proper visa next time" warning. Very unlikely you'll be denied entry straight off the bat

Ian Taylor i really think you don’t need a visa. your a frequent traveler to Thailand spending equal time in your own country. By flying in and out to Australia your displaying wealth

I have work mates doing it on a

roster we fly in every month they are not being questioned. Infact they get through immigration quicker than me as many IO dont know what OX visa is and have to call a senior.Jo **********
i have friend from Melbourne who did this last year with visa exempt. 9 entries. Should not be a problem as your flying back to your home country and your not maxing out on 60 days and doing border bounces

Depends on your situation
Over 50 a Non-O or Non-OA based on age
Married to a Thai a Non-O based on marriage
Neither of the above there's not much choice, you could look at the Thai Privilege visa
Over 50 a Non-O or Non-OA based on age
Married to a Thai a Non-O based on marriage
Neither of the above there's not much choice, you could look at the Thai Privilege visa
